About Me
I'm Matthew Hurley, MD, a board-certified family medicine physician who joined Phelps Health in 2012. I enjoy taking care of children and adults.
My collaborating providers are Family Nurse Practitioners Miriam Brawley, Barbie Fulton, Sandra Headrick and Abby Blanc.
I became interested in healthcare early on in my undergraduate years. I wanted a job where I could help people and care for the whole family. I find you get better outcomes when you know the entire family.
In addition to family practice, I perform skin lesion removals, joint injections and dermatological (skin) procedures. I’m also interested in musculoskeletal injuries.
When patients come to see me, I hope they see that I listen to them and understand what’s important to them. If they have any underlying medical conditions, I want them to understand those conditions and what it takes to keep them under control.
I also offer telehealth visits, which allow patients to visit with me remotely using a smartphone, tablet or computer with an internet connection and audio-video capabilities.

What our patients are saying (Verified reviews from real patients)
Dr Hurley is wonderful. The meds he prescribed makes my back pain much more manageable! Thank you Dr Hurley!
Each person was informative and ready to help
Communication in the MyChart Portal was very quick. Wait time for my appointment was minimal. Very good experience
Dr.Hurley,and his nurse treat us very well, to be honest I do not like Rolla hospital, but I really like Dr.Hurley,he is a very good doctor who actually cares.
Got called in really soon! Also Dr Hurley was on time!
Always a good experience going to Phelps Health!
Courteous and no wait time
Listened to my questions and answered them so I could understand them. They were helpful, friendly and enjoyed the visit.
Quick and efficient. Everyone great especially ICU. A great team
Dr. Hurley is an amazing physician. He always listens well, he explains well, and he is very concerned about your overall well-being. I really, really think he is an amazing doctor.
Every thing was great. Just continue the good work!!!!
I love that I see Dr Hurley when I make an appt. Other doctors often just have you see a nurse practioner and you have to ask specifically if you want to see the Dr. The automated messaging was a little odd this time, in that, it sent a msg after my appt was set that the appt was no longer available and I'd be on a wait list. I finally ask for confirmation of my appt and it was scheduled on the date and time originally set.
Great staff. Dr Hurley was very helpful.
Thank you
The doctor and staff treated me with respect and answered all my questions.
Dr. Hurley was punctual and polite. Affirmed my personal health history. Checked vitals. Allowed time for me to ask questions. Demeanor was professional and friendly.
Everything was perfect there is nothing more I could ask for
The nurse was thorough, asking questions not asked of me before, regarding previous surgeries. Very friendly, professional and very competent in interacting with me. Dr. Hurley took time with me, asking questions and answering all my questions. Well done.
Explained all my problems in an understandable manner.
Matt does a great job.
Great staff
I was told to arrive 15 minutes early, then my doctor was 45 minutes late. I had been there an hour before I was seen for 7 minutes.
I was in a lot of pain and was given an appointment that afternoon. I was very grateful.
Everything was done well, in a timely manner. As always it was a good experience.
Everything was great start to finish. I put myself on the wait list for an earlier appointment. Thankfully I
Very courteous and prompt. Recommend them to everyone
Doctor Hurley and the entire staff was amazing. Good people doing good work. I highly recommend this place.
I think Dr Hurley is one of the best doctors at Phelps Health. Phelps Health needs to allow the doctors more time with their patients.
Actually, everybody was very pleasant, laughing, giggled, and they were very kind and attention giving. They took all the aptitudes, tattoos, and everything you need to take before the doctor comes in. They were great. He always is. Thank you very much.
Every thing was a ok
I was there for a wellness check. Nobody listened to my heart or anything. Didn't take blood. Didn't do a cholesterol check. So I was very unfounded and disappointed that nothing happened. But I guess I'm in great shape.
Very nice staff. Dr. Hurley listens to what I have to say and explains clearly.
All was great. Very satisfied with everything
This was a new patient meeting as my old provider had departed. I was greeted professionally by everyone, minimal wait time, and screened efficiently. Medical review completed and a follow up scheduled.
Very clean and staff and doctor was a 10
Got me in quickly. Engaged in conversation relevant to my visit. Courteously asked questions, gave information and listened to my input about my health. Asked if I had any questions.
Dr. Hurley provided excellent service as always...
Lab results came back very fast.
Great place, keep up the good work!
My experience went very well. Everyone was very nice, professional, and helpful.
It seemed the provider and staff Were not rushed thru the time limit as they had been in the past
I am always treated with respect and kindness. I am extremely satisfied with Dr. Hurley and his staff. The staff are always quick to check me in and get me back to a room. The nurse who takes my vitals and asks why I'm there is always very nice and helpful. Dr. Hurley is very attentive and listens to everything I have to say and does his very best to treat any problem I have. This is why I travel for an hour and 20 minutes to see Dr. Hurley. The best doctor I have ever had and I have seen a few in my long lifetime.
I like Dr. Hurley, he is the reason I go there.
It was all very good thank you all
Treated my problem with resprect.
Everything was scheduled on time, accurate, and ready to go. No problems.
Prompt and through
The staff listen to me,@ work wit me, with all of my health needs. Awesome job, they provide me with. Etc
I love Dr. Hurley. Always takes the time to listen.
My experience would have been better if my visit notes were correct. I have a retinal occlusion not a renal occlusion. That is kind of important.
Good eye contact from everyone. It was a calm environment. Staff seemed relaxed and happy.
Everything went well the girl that took my blood was very sweet the front desk was very nice just can not think of any thing that wasn't OK
Everyone was so nice and helpful! I appreciate the fine staff that works at this clinic! They have a way of welcoming patients to the clinic, they answer your questions and if they don't know the answer they will talk to the doctor or nurse and come back to you with an answer! I have been going to this clinic since 2009. Many of the doctors and staff have changed but the way they operate the clinic hasn't changed.
Get a different Dr. He listened to what I had to say, but did nothing I to help or explain any of my problems or concerns.
Two visits with Dr. Hurley. Both were excellent. Takes time to listen and ask pertinent questions.
Dr.Hurley is the best physician He deserves a great recognition and award plus promotion God bless him and give him long life.
The entire staff were courteous. Friendly and professional. I especially appreciate how Dr. Hurley listens to my concerns.
My experience was great! No one gets to push you into meds you don't feel is safe. And they don't get nosy into your personal life. Thankyou
It was the best experience.
Yeah, everything was fine. I didn't need anything else. He's my best doctor. Thanks, bye.
Did not have to wait longer than 10 minutes for Dr to come in & see me. Listened to everything I had say.
The office staff the nurse and the doctor were very friendly, nice and I felt like they really cared and were happy to see me. Thank you!
Nothing could have improved it. It was a professional, courteous and positive visit. Dr. Hurley is excellent, and we appreciate him a great deal. The entire staff with whom we met was friendly and helpful.
I really like my doctor and the staff here.
Dr Hurley is by far the best provider beside Dr Cathy Bond that's I've dealt with at Phelps Health
when I called with a problem they got me in the next day. I was thankful for that.
I have been coming to Dr. Hurley for a few years and have always been treated professionally and with kindness. Dr. Hurley has always been very nice and listens to anything I want to discuss and is very thorough. He is very professional and kind.
Everyone at this office was professional, and helpful, and provided information that I needed prior to seeing the doctor. Dr. Hurley is an excellent physician. He listens well, he looks at all data, and makes good decisions. I think he is a trustworthy physician, and I admire him, and his work ethic, and his diagnosis, I am already improved, and feel better. Thank you.
Dr. HURLEY LISTENED AND WORKED WITH ME TO MAKE A PLAN, WHICH I APPRECIATE.
Everything was great
The Dr looked at my finger and said it would heal, keep it clean and bandaged.
Great job short wait was nice
dr. H is the best thankful for him and staff
Everyone was courteous and answered any questions I had.
we were there on time and seen dr Hurley very soon looking at my chart results I have so many Questons , I was told the dr woukd call me in two days to go over the results , so I should get a call from him tomorrow fingers crossed
Service was prompt. Dr Hurley took the time to dicuss the health issue I am having and took an active interest in addressing the problem.
Yes, I was in a car wreck and I was in a lot of pain and they treated me very well, respected and very kind to me and it's much appreciated. Thank you.
Everything was fine.
Great experience with Dr Hurley. He listens to what I say. A great doc!
From beginning to end, every person I encountered was knowledgeable, respectful and professional. Dr Hurley just became my PCP and I believe he & his staff was the best provider choice I could of made.
The only thing that I feel needs to be improved are the ones who answer the phone. I feel as though I am a huge bother to them every time I call.
Everyone was very pleasant and professional..
I was very impressed with the nurse practitioner. She listened to my concerns and passed them to the physician thoroughly. No improvements needed that I could see.
great job
All is great that's why I like going there you don't have to sit 1 to 3 hurs. They get you in and out soon as they can.
They managed to fit me in very quickly, separate from my normal 3 month appointments. I'm always treated well by Doctor Hurley and nurses, as well as front office staff.
Just was kind and courteous
Dr Hurley is wonderful.
Everyone at Phelps Health has always treated me with respect. Dr Hurley listens to me when I talk about my health and concerns
I really like Dr. Hurley. He seems to listen as a person and treat you like one and that's rare now a days and it shouldn't be. Keep up the good work!!
Friendly staff starting from front desk to Nurse and doctor.
Coming from a bad experience at Mercy, my Phelps provider, Dr. Hurley, has treated me with respect and shown empathy for every concern I brought into the appointment. The staff was kind and personable for the most part-the nurse that took my vitals did not seem to be having a great day, or maybe she just did not have enough practice in bedside manner. Overall was a pleasant experience.
Dr. Hurley is great! Thank you for taking me on as a new patient!
Wait time was minimal. Got me right in on time.
Everyone was respectful and treated me with courtesy and listened to me with regard to concerns I had.
