Dr. Jonathan Hurst was born only a few meters from the Peterborough Clinic building in the old Civic Hospital (now just a parking lot across the street). He left the Peterborough area after high school to earn a liberal arts degree from Calvin College in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Jonathan returned to Canada to begin medical training in Kingston where he earned his medical degree in 2010 from Queens University and completely his residency training in Ophthalmology in 2015. In addition to his practice, he is an Associate Professor (adjunct) in the Queen’s University Department of Ophthalmology.

In the summer of 2015, Dr. Hurst and his wife, Janet Hurst, an anesthesiologist, took positions at PRHC. Dr. Jonathan Hurst started his comprehensive ophthalmology practice at the Peterborough Clinic at the same time. Since moving to Peterborough their family has grown with the addition of a son, James and a daughter, June. Jonathan’s interests include biking, skiing, windsurfing, travelling, and bodybuilding.
