Bio
John R. Hurt, MD, FACC, is a board-certified cardiologist with Orlando Health Medical Group FHV Health. He specializes in cardiovascular disease and interventional cardiology. A few of his clinical interests include transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography, pacemakers and coronary interventions.
Cardiovascular Disease
Cardiovascular disease affects the heart and blood vessels and may result in heart attack or stroke, primarily caused by blockages inhibiting blood flow. The risk of heart attack, stroke and others may be increased by pre-existing health conditions like diabetes and high cholesterol and lifestyle factors like smoking and obesity.
Often, a patient is unaware of an arterial blockage until the artery is blocked 70 percent or more. At this stage, symptoms may range from severe leg pain to complete loss of circulation and, potentially, the beginning of gangrene.
What Is Interventional Cardiology?
As an experienced interventional cardiologist, Dr. Hurt works quickly to perform the diagnostic studies needed to identify the exact location of a blockage of the circulatory system such as those in the carotid arteries or lower extremities. To restore blood flow to affected areas, he may use minimally invasive techniques, including angioplasty and stents, while more severe diseases may require bypass surgery.
Advanced Cardiac Care
Dr. Hurt brings the most advanced cardiac care to his patients through:
- Cardiac catheterization
- Consultative care
- Coronary PTCA and stenting
- Atherectomy

This is a comprehensive list of insurances accepted at Orlando Health hospitals, outpatient services and physician groups. Be sure to contact your individual insurer to verify coverage. Not all providers accept the same insurance. If possible, check with your providers prior to your procedure or appointment to verify coverage.
Why do some Orlando Health physicians not have a patient experience rating?
The Patient Satisfaction Rating is an average of all responses to the care provider related questions, shown above, from our nationally-recognized Press-Ganey Patient Satisfaction Survey. Patients that are treated in outpatient or hospital environments may receive different surveys, and the volume of responses will vary by question.
Responses are measured on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the best score.
The comments are submitted by patients and reflect their views and opinions. The comments are not endorsed by and do not necessarily reflect the views of Orlando Health.
Ratings may not be present for certain physicians of Orlando Health Physician Group and Orlando Health Physician Associates because:
- The physician has not yet met the minimum number of 30 patient satisfaction surveys to be eligible for display.
- They may be a researcher or type of provider that does not see patients.
- They may practice in a specialty or office that has not yet implemented the specified surveys used for these ratings.
