Dr. Ronald Hattin, MD

Dr Hatton is a superbly trained, highly experienced physician who practices anesthesiology. I met Dr. Hatton on referral from a similarly outstanding orthopedic surgeon, and he is without question one of the most careful, thorough, and patient-focused physicians I’ve ever consulted. As others have said, when it became clear that I was not a good candidate for spinal instrumentation or fusion, Dr. Hattin gave me hope that my persistent severe low back pain could be managed without surgery or pain pills. He explained the details of my problem- including a right-sided sponylolisthesis with sciatic involvement - and the nature of the injections which, if successful, could offer significant relief over time. My first treatment injections by Dr. Hattin offered miraculous relief with beneficial effects which lasted over one year. His knowledge and skills are at the top of his field, but even more impressive is the time and detail he spends with each of his patients. Top marks.

ALWAYS, every single time, great service!! I adore what Dr. Hattin does for me and my Back! His expertise allows me to live life without pain pills. And he explains EXACTLY what he will be doing and WHY, along with what results I can expect. Other Dr.s have suggested operating and continued drug use, but not Dr. Hattin. He is confident in his work. One word of caution, he speaks very quickly, so ASK him to slow down so you can understand him. He also has a wildly fun sense of humor which helps to dispel any anxiety you may have. He is simply the best and I will not allow anyone else to work on my back, as long as possible, he will be my Dr. of choice for my back. He has given me 4 different series of injections over the years, so I really hope he NEVER retires. Thanks Dr. Hattin for everything! I am profoundly grateful.

Dr. Hattin AND HIS TEAM of exceptional nurses are Superstars. I saw him for spinal epidural injections to treat severe nerve pain in my hip and knee. His explanation of treatment and competence in reading and interpreting radiology (MRI results) is excellent. He is (and should be) a highly trusted and caring practitioner and is a consummate professional.

My very good Spine Dr. referred me to Dr. Hattin for a diagnostic/therapeutic Steriod shot for L4 / L5 degenerative disc disease, causing chronic pain for the past 25 years. Initially, I was not impressed with his office staff in terms of actually getting the orders and scheduling the apt. and I almost cancelled the apt. due to such poor customer service. The procedure, care and attention I received from Dr. Hattin and his staff was EXCELLENT & I have had ZERO pain for 3 weeks. TOP NOTCH.

With two visits, epidural for severe spine pain and cortisone shots for spine pain - Dr. Hattin made me feel that I was being treated with the best care I could get anywhere.

He has taken care of me through 3 surgeries, of which I have a nerve disorder, and he has had to also do blocks to keep it from spreading. I never had any problems. An a very nice man.
