This guy is legit. I've spoken to a few people who have had different things done, and it seems like he is good at pretty much everything ortho. Quality.

What a wonderful young man. Obviously its important to be a reputable physician, but I was more drawn to his authentic sincerity and genuine desire to make me better.

There is something about this guy that is different than most docs, in a good way. I think it is good combination of common sense, being nice, and being normal. I highly recommend him.

I usually don't go on websites or social media, but I wanted to let people know that there are actually doctors that care for you out there. Dr. Hartshorn is a different type of doctor. I would say he is more like a "care giver" that a "surgeon" in that he cares about all of you and not just the surgery part.
