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 Hardister figured out what was wrong after previously having 3 EDG’s with other Doctors. He performed my extensive abdominal surgery and I haven’t had any problems since. Very happy with him!

Horrible. I came in with excruciating pain after having minor surgery the day before. He barely looked at me, and did nothing to help allay my fear or relieve my pain.

I don't know if this is same Dr.Hardister..But the one I saw at Unity Health was terrible and no bed side manner...He acted like he seem concerned at first.. I had an emergency surgery on January 19, 2018.....I thank God I survived the surgery, but my health has went downward..since...and he showed no COMPASSION..... I can write a book on this and I will one day..I had to have surgery again in January 2019,from the first surgery he done...and I couldn't fine another doctor to go behind him at Unity Health..but to God be the Glory...I went to Little Rock and they took care of me...and the so call Dr. Hardister I haven't even heard from him again...no. matter how many times I go to Unity Health...I would never recommend me him to anyone.. but no hard feeling..I forgave humans I pray for him...but I will never go back to him again ...NEVER

Dr. Hardister had to perform emergency surgery on my dads stomach and we were rather scared about not being able to make a choice who to use. Our PCP said we were lucky Hardister was on call because he is a good surgeon. We are so thankful for Dr. Hardister because everything went excellent and he is such a good surgeon. We are thankful he chose Searcy to work out and are praying he doesn't leave. I pray he is on call if any of us have surgery.

We met him at the hospital for a unexpected admission and surgery. My husband and I were so impressed with him. He was so kind, caring and explained in detail the surgery he would perform. After the surgery he made sure I knew what to do and what to expect. We think he's terrfic.
