"This is a great opportunity for us," said Daniel Hurley, M.D. of VENT's Pinnacle and Mesa offices. "Increasing our physician presence in the community will help us better care for our patients. Our Mesa and Gilbert communities will be better served with the addition of these doctors and primary care physicians should find it easier to refer their patients to our offices for the care that they need."

This represents a continuation of our practices's ability to recruit the most talented physicians."
