I broke my wrist in a fall. Dr. Hartman and staff got me right in - scheduled me for surgery next day at the Lake George Surgical Center - very impressed with the center. I found Dr. Hartman to be very informative and has his patients well being for most. His NP - Jamie is very good also. She explains things and listens to you and genuinely cares about her patients.

I went to see Dr. Hartman. I got to see his NP after a long wait. Signs in the office say if you want Rx called in there is a charge, are you kidding? The office is cold, staff wore jackets. I wasted a lot of time. After I was seen, I decided to see another physician, and asked for my records to be sent. They stated that it could take 30 days or so to send them. The new doctor gave me a copy of my records. It was amazing what they say they did and said to me, that were in my chart and they never said. Beware of this office.

The best surgery experience I have ever had. I was very apprehensive not knowing how I would come out of the surery. I worked hard and did everything they told me to do. Dr. Hartmen set up the best in home care and the best rehab after surgery. I would recommend him to anyone. Although surgery went great the care at Cameron Hospital in Angola was something to be desired. I am not sure they now how to care for patients with knee replacements.

One of the best doctors, I've have ever been to. If you want someone that will not only tell you what's wrong, in a clear sense, but also care enough about you, to be honest and respectful, this is the guy to see.... Great doctor...
