Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr Hartzfeld was great as my surgeon and cared about my experience.

Best neurosurgeon out there in my opinion. It was my first major surgery and first time under anesthesia. The office staff and the doctor made me feel so comfortable, the prep was easy and surgery went smoothly. The most important thing is he listen to everything you have to say even if you go on a rant.

I chose Dr. Hartzfeld over other surgeon as I felt he best analyzed/described my condition; how he would treat it; and I thought his bedside manner was great. He was very up front with the plus and minus of having surgery.
