I have heard so many horror stories of painful and botched operations for rotator cuffs ! Well let me tell you, they didn't have my doctor , Dr. Michael Hartman. I tore my rotator cuff in HALF ! He didn't lie to me, he told me it would be a painful ordeal & a lengthy recovery , and with the extent of the tear he wasn't sure if I'd get 80 % of use back but promised to do his best . After a 6 hr operation, he kept his promise & did his best ! 3 mths after the operation , I have full motion of arm , and looking at a 100% recovery after a some strengthening therapy, to build the musles back up . Being a hyperactive person , this injury was devastating to me ! Thank God I found Doc Hartman , he has restored, not just my shoulder but, my way of life. I recommend Doc.Hartman to Anyone with this type injury ! If you listen his advise , you will prevail ! Thank you Doc Hartman , from the bottom of my heart TY ! Elizabeth Doud

My mother's femur bone broke or near the 'neck of the femur bone' and Dr. Hartman operated on my mother at 10:00 p.m. the same day. He explained what his goal was for the outcome of the surgery, but not making any promises and stated my mother may never walk again. After the surgery and eight weeks of therapy, my mother has been walking ever since and that was three years ago. I had no problems making follow up appointments and felt he gave my mom and myself his complete attention and time answering any questions we had. I do and would recommend Dr. Hartman to everyone. My mom just celebrated her 89th birthday and is doing wonderful thanks to Dr. Hartman.
