    Yes, Dr. Hurtado is very respectful and easy to talk to and knowledgeable and she listens to me and I find it easy to listen to her and she's up to date on the latest treatments and she explains them to me. She takes a lot of time and sometimes we have difficulty with the connection. I don't know if it's my computer or hers, but she's very patient and I hate to even waste her time trying to get connected, but she does until she works on it until we can speak with each other and see each other. So she's very patient and as I said, very knowledgeable. So I like her very much.

    Dr. Hurtado is very caring and she is an expert in the field. She always has an answer for my questions, and is never vague with her answers. Throughout my therapy given by her, which lasted for about 3 years, she always prepares me for all the possibilities so I know exactly what to do when things happen. I felt lucky to have been referred to her and be her patient.

    Dr. Hurtado was very well prepared. She went over all my tests and reviewed my case before she came into the office. And she answered all my questions and explained everything in an understandable manner. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone who is an infectious disease doctor. Also, she had a fellow there working under her, who was also very good, very prepared, and lovely to work with. So I would recommend most highly Dr. Hurtado and her fellow who was in training under her tutelage. Thank you.
