From the Doctor:
Allan Hunt, MD, is a board-certified orthopedic surgeon who specializes in shoulder, knee and hip conditions, specifically arthroscopic reconstruction of shoulder and knee injuries and joint replacement. He is adept at less-invasive procedures such as arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, partial knee replacements and the use of the quadriceps tendon for ACL reconstruction.
His approach to caring for patients is by thoroughly educating them for all steps of their treatment with proper choices and expectations. He treats his patients the same way he would want his family treated. This method of giving his patients the proper knowledge to make the best decisions for their health, with the delivery of exceptional care, is what makes his team stand out.
Dr. Hunt takes pride in caring for our veterans at the Minneapolis VA medical center. He believes teaching the orthopedic residents, medical students and others in this environment benefits our community as a whole. Being a speaker for the Young Scientist Roundtable has allowed him to reach a younger audience that will fill our future health care needs.
Dr. Hunt enjoys spending time with his wife and three active sons, usually at track or gymnastics meets, on the soccer sidelines, or traveling. He enjoys spending time outdoors and likes to hunt, fish and scuba dive. He is an assistant scoutmaster and Eagle Scout counselor.
