Dr. Jay Hurh

I met Dr. Hurh at Condal Hospital in Libertyville when it was discovered that I had compression fractures in 4 of my vertebras. Not only did Dr. Hurh stabilize the fractures with a noninvasive procedure but Dr. Hurh found the right spot to give me an Epidural that gave me a pain free year not achieved by other doctors. He is smart, knowledgeable and has a great bedside manner. He also has a great staff in his office, ready and willing to help his patients.

Dr. Hurh is professional and compassionate. The pain work (nerve ablation) accomplished mush to relieve my symptoms.

Spent alot of money and wasted alot of time with put a stim unit in my back then he tells me it was all in my head and went to another Dr and all 4 screws holes were howled and I ended up having to have another surgery. Will Never trust him or go to him again.

seems nice, but, take it or leave it, what works for others dont work for all. Was rushed says he works in hospital and just fills in,odd when you and your family suffer from your pain its rough.

I have been a patient of Dr. Hurh's for a few years now. I came to this website to write a review about another doctor that was absolutely awful, because who goes out of their way to write a good review these days? But I decided to search for Dr. Hurh and I was surprised to see what came up. This man was an absolute godsend after I had dealt with so many bad doctors that showed little to no compassion for my nerve pain. He was the real deal, took me seriously, and was the ONLY doctor that figured out what was wrong and recommended the ONLY medication that helped. I love this man, and if you are looking for one of the "good ones" to help you, this guy is it!

I had my first appointment today with Dr Hurh. He is such a kind knowledgeable caring doctor. He listened to all my concerns and helped me I highly recommend. His staff and nurses are very friendly and they were able to see me very quick. He cares about his patients.

Completely useless individual (I refuse to refer to him as a physician, as 'practicing medicine' is nothing close to what he actually does). Find literally anyone else. Enough said.

A totally unpleasant experience, but you don't get much choice when you hurt yourself and go to the emergency room at the hospital that local emergency folks insist on taking you to (Advocate Condell in Libertyville instead of much closer Northwestern Medicine Grayslake). Zero stars if the rating system would permit it.

This is not a doctor I would recommend. Speaking with the nurse from the office, she would not give me definitive answers, I needed the answer to know if I should bother seeing the doctor but she could not advise if he would continue a medication that I'm already on. Why would she not want to give me a straight answer? It seemed more about money... she did not want to answer but she definitely was more worried about me keeping the appointment than listening to a word i was saying, did not care one iota for my concerns. In which obviously I canceled. In which thereafter I decided to look into the reviews, lo and behold, more negative reviews than good, I'm glad I made the right decision This is not a doctor I would recommend.

An outstanding physician who is able to diagnose and treat patients with complex pain issues. He is an excellent surgeon who is personal and professional in surgery and in his ability to relate to patients and those on staff.

After several appointments, his treatment made my pain worse, and I will not be returning.

Dr. Hurht is a pathetic excuse for a physician. If this man ever actually took his Hippocratic oath--something I sincerely doubt--he's long since forgotten every single word of it. Seek legitimate medical help elsewhere; you'll find none of it from Hurht.

He made my pain worse. Would not recommend.

This physician is a waste of space. He's a pompous little man who massively overestimates his own intelligence and scope of expertise. He did not treat or manage my pain--he only exacerbated it. He's terrible at listening, worse at explaining, impossible to get ahold of, and inexcusably lacking in knowledge directly pertinent to the current state of his field of practice. He exhibited some of the most ethically- and professionally-questionable behavior I've ever personally experienced from a physician. He also flat out lied his way through the entire 'after-visit summary' of our final appointment together in a blatant attempt to save face and shift blame towards me for his failure--all of this AFTER I had already told him I was unsatisfied with his care and wouldn't be seeing him again, mind you. Yes, he was that petty. Definitely make an appointment to see Hurh if the integrity of a wet paper bag is a quality you're searching for in a physician. Expect to manage your own pain.

This doctor is entirely worthless, and I wouldn't recommend him to my worst enemy.

Had an appointment and they wanted to scan both my medical card, ok no problem, and my drivers license. I told them I don't let people scan my drivers license since but I'll happily show it to them if they need to verify my ID. I work in the IT world and I don't give out more personal information than necessary due to all of the hacked systems and leaked information. There was no need to scan my driver license. A manager came over and tried to explain why the system needs it and I explained why I won't give it to them. Many other doctors request the same but understand once you say no. The manager said OK and they gave me the paperwork to fill out. Once I had completed the paperwork the manager came back to me to tell me that Dr Hurh won't see me unless I have my licensed scanned, I told them firmly NO so they canceled the appointment. VERY ARROGANT! Hey DOC why don't you stick to what you know, unless you want the IT guys to do the medical and you do the IT ... NOT!!

bad patient manner

Dr. Hur is the best! Because of that he’s in high demand. Had a procedure yesterday where I made a huge mistake and he worked around the situation to accommodate me. I’m very grateful and highly recommend him.

Been seeing Dr. Hurh and Kathy his PA for almost 2 years. It’s has been a journey but one they have stayed with me on. Follow what they say. Take your medications as prescribed. I ended up having surgery at their recommendation. Took care of one major issue. Best pain doc around and I highly recommend. Worth the wait!

Had a video call with Dr. Hurh today with my mom. Very compassionate and articulate. Highly recommend!

I highly recommend Dr Hurh. He's friendly & helpful and explains everything to a T. His staff is very friendly & they always call after a procedure to see how your feeling. People have to understand there may be a wait to see him. BUT it's worth the wait.

The doctor has helped my pain . He has listened to my issues and has put a plan together to get me better.

I told the doctor I'm afraid of getting shots and he said he was really good I told him I needed sedation and I didn't get it so I freaked out and he got mad bad experience I would never go back

I used to love this office but now I am disgusted with Dr. Katherine Kovacic. I had an issue with Walgreens billing my insurance for prescriptions I wasn't picking up and I explained this to the doctor. I even had a recorded phone call with Walgreens confirming I hadn't gotten the scripts. The doctor stated she understood and then turned around and had her staff tell me they couldn't help me anymore. If you are my doctor and I have proof that there is a misunderstanding and the fact that I have never had a problem with ANY type of medicine abuse in the past then she should've listened. At least been woman enough to tell me to my face she didn't believe me. I am filing a complaint so it should be taken care of soon but beware don't believe what she says to you. She'll smile in your face and change up behind your back. Untrustworthy by all means!! I used to love this office but now I am disgusted with Dr. Katherine Kovacic.

Nothing but the best to say about the doctors and the staff.

I had to wait 2 months to see him. But researching with other pain management Drs the wait was longer. Let me tell ya I got my cortisone injection in L5/S1 today. Dr Hurh and his team were GREAT. Walked me thru everything. Very minimal pain for the numbing shot barely felt any pressure for the injection. I highly recommend this Dr and his team. I had to wait 2 months to see him.

I was given epidurals at neck and lower back.After lower back epidural I had severe problems.Dr order MRI which I got it done.Dr never tried to follow with me and never returned my phone calls He Sims to be ignorent about patient concerns

Dr. Hurh was patient, answered my questions, explained every step he was going to take. I think he is great.

Love him and his PA hes been my Dr for years andhas helped, cared and is so compassionate!! AWESOME guy, ive referred quite a few peoplecabd everyone loves him!! Very knowledgeable, and amazing dr

Hurh has good knowledge and tries to help but he is often rushed. Assumes too quickly without much mutual conversation with patient. He can also seem impersonal as if he has rude manners but he doesn’t mean it. Busy guy but it’s my health so I would prefer a doctor who is more patient and caring.

Poor Communication, Little (to no) commitment to patient. I was referred to Dr. Hurht from multiple physical therapists (referrals clearly due to Advocate affiliation)for severe back pain, I became a patient of his practice for apprx 6mos. After 2 MRIs, Hurht diagnosed and assured me that my back pain was treatable or at the very least, manageable. He administered 2 nerve block/epidural. When these failed, Hurht (and P.A) wouldn't return my calls and left me to "figure it out" on my own...

Pain management - hmmmmm. ONLY if you can wait 90 days to see him and then longer to get the relief since a consultation has to occur FIRST before he can administer the RELIEF! 90 DAY wait just to get a consultation!!! So much for Pain management. more like suffer in pain until I can squeeze you in. and Page who answered the phone had ZERO empathy! Pain management - hmmmmm.

A patient's NIGHTMARE. I was so upset after the visit. He wanted to try an experimental tx on me (surgical needle through my face into my jaw and kill the largest nerve in my head for pain), by his own admission, he only has 1 other patient like me with my condition. When I refused accused me of having an addiction and rudely stated I was a waste of his time. He should even be allowed to practice. RUN. A patient's NIGHTMARE. I was so upset after the visit.

I have been going to Dr. Hurh for about a year and a half and would highly recommend him to anyone seeking pain relief.

Best Doctor Of My Life! Only person in the medical world I've met who actually cared about me and not just numbers.

My second visit with Dr. Hurh was a blessing. Very generous Dr and Staff. Couldn't be more pleased than to be helped by this great Dr after my rude comments and review last time maybe due to medication or pain. Very grateful, thankful, and blessed that he took the time out of his day today to see me once again. I'm very blessed to be seen by Dr. Hurh again, sorry I said such wrong and hurtful things in my first review that were false and 100% not true. This Dr really truly does care and that means everything coming from the patient. I can't be more thankful and appreciative to be taken under care of Dr. Hurh. I'm grateful for my appointment today and look forward to getting my life back together so I can start living more again with less pain from severe fibromyalgia and arthritis. Sorry again for my rude review last time. Second time around was amazing. Blessed for his time he spent with me and for the medicine to help me till my insurance or assistance will help. I couldn't be more grateful for this man. Thank you Dr., Nurses, and staff. I appreciate you all. My second visit with Dr. Hurh was a blessing. Very generous Dr and Staff.

I first met Dr. Hurh while he was at a different practice. He put me at ease during my procedure which was great due to I hate needles. He was nice enough to contact me when he went to a different location an asked if I would like to continue my treatments with him and of course that was a huge YES! He was the answer to my prayers about the horrific hip joint and sacrum pain! He’s the BEST I’ve ever had and he truly listens to what I had to say and unlike other doctors, he actually speaks and explains everything in a way I vould understand. I’m currently back in Virginia due to military orders and I wish he was out here!!! Thank you Dr. Hurh!!! I first met Dr. Hurh while he was at a different practice.

WORST DOCTOR EVER. I was shocked. After being referred by my primary who I have a great relationship with, I was looking forward to different treatment options instead of the medicine I've been on for OVER 5 YEARS! Dr Hurh walked into the room, looked me up and down...proceeded to tell me my whole illness is because I am overweight and he is not going to treat someone for that. WHAT? I guess my autoimmune disease doesn't matter. Don't put yourself through seeing this man.

Outstanding service from Dr Hurh. He is not easy to get in to see, but absolutely worth the wait. He is patient and understanding of your needs and takes the necessary time to discuss your situation. He clearly speaks from a great deal of knowledge, experience and expertise.

Generally, not a very nice man. I saw Dr. Huhr for a short period of time in Lincolnshire, Illinois. I decided to change doctors and see Dr. Jennifer Bellucci and her P.A., Ms. Kate Mariani, who I am very happy with and glad I made the change. Both, Ms. Bellucci and Ms. Mariani, spend a great deal of time with me when I see them and care a great deal about me. Unfortunately, when I was seen by Dr. Huhr, it was very brief and impersonal. i would not recommend, Dr. Huhr.

Horrible first experience Dr said he could not treat me cause the medication I take which took 7 years to figure out what works best and wanted to take me off when I didn't understand why when it was one of the only that was helping my chronic pain of fibromyalgia and arthritis. I walked out his office in tears because how I was treated. I've been taking pain medicine for a long time due to my lower back and neck also fibromyalgia and arthritis. Not happy with this doctor I refuse to see him again because the way he treated me and his receptionist is very rude and immature girls with the way they talked back to me today on the phone and wouldn't let me get in a word. Deffinatly a doctor I would pass on.

Dr. Huhr is a miracle man with his epidural injections! Twice now I have ended up in the ER unable to walk, and he has treated me and sent me on my way walking much better! He is very compassionate and personable. He treats you like a human being, and is concerned about your comfort and pain level. I highly recommend him!

I've been a patient of Dr. Huhr's since approximately 2013/14. He has helped me to deal with the excruciating pain of lumbar spinal stenosis and its progression through injections and medication. He even met with my husband and I when we were deciding our next course of action, and provided valuable perspective and insight. He is up front, and very trustworthy.

He's a very calm personality and remembers very well. I have Cancer and osteoarthritis. He's given me cortisone injections in my hands twice, now. They're only momentarily painful. I've already recommended him to a good friend of mine. If anyone needs pain management, Dr Hurh is the one. He has a wonderful, new-looking office in the lower level of the West Tower at Condell Hospital in Libertyville IL. The staff from reception through is friendly and caring. I wish all offices and their doctors
