“Both of these individuals match the qualifications that we seek at The Greenbrier Clinic, and we are excited that they will help continue the tradition of quality medical care that has been established here for more than 70 years,” she said.
Certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine, Dr. Hurst graduated Cum Laude from West Virginia University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology in 2004, volunteering with WVU Medicine and Milan Puskar Health Right during his time as an undergraduate.
He then went on to receive his Doctor of Medicine from WVU in 2010 and served a residency in Internal Medicine at J.W. Ruby Memorial Hospital in Morgantown, W.Va., from 2010-2013.
In 2014, Dr. Hurst came to the Greenbrier Valley as a Hospitalist, treating both chronic and critical illnesses.
“I am pleased to provide excellent care and to be able to offer my patients advanced diagnostics in-house,” said Dr. Hurst. “Patient-centered care is important to me, and that is exactly what we have at The Greenbrier Clinic.”
