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.

Told my wife nothing was wrong with her, turns out she was suffering from celiac disease for years while he kept brushing her off. Just now he canceled an appointment with her for another problem with another doctor at the practice. He told the nurse to cancel with her because nothing was wrong with her again, without ever seeing her. A complete hack who cares nothing for suffering patients.

Saw Dr. Hartfelder when I was experiencing bad acid reflux and when I didn't have any appetite for days because of it. He was not only unfriendly and condescending with his responses to my concerns, but he also gave no insight to my issues. He literally said "if these symptoms come back, I won't have an answer for you" basically telling me to hit the road. Fine, I will, and leave you the review you deserve.

Very disappointed with this doctor. When hospitalized he told my dad he'd be right back after reviewing his chart, labs, tests, etc. and never came back to his room. My dad was a retired physician also- no respect. No call from his office with condolences when my dad passed away recently. When making his last appointment the unfriendly office manager told him they'd have to 'squeeze him in.' I could go on and on but there's no point. I'm giving 1 star because I have to.
