Dr. Anne Hardart, MD

I visited Dr. Hardart in August 2020 when I suspected I needed surgery to remove my fibroids. Without even looking at MRIs she told me I'd needed surgery. This was immediately a red flag, because why was she discussing surgery in my first appointment especially because all she had was a report from my ultrasound--not even the images! She insisted to do a vaginal exam on me, so I agreed. I told her in my appointment that I usually only bleed for about 10-14 days, but it's extremely light after 7 days. She prescribed me a medication that is for people who bleed heavily, I never picked up the prescription. I bled from my vagina heavily for 18 days after this exam--this has NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. I did go to the ER and when I told the ER gynecologist what happened and the prescription Dr. Hardart prescribed, even the gynecologist thought Dr. Hardart sounded shady. I don't know what Dr. Hardart did during my exam to make me bleed that much and for so long, but I never went back to her.

This was truly one of worst medical experiences I have had. When I finally got an appointment to see Dr. Hardart, I had been having urological issues for nearly a month and a half. I was an otherwise healthy 23 year old with no previous medical history, so my sudden overactive bladder issues were very stressful and concerning to me, especially given the nature of my job. I had originally been seen by a doctor at Cornell, but he specializes in men’s health and just kept putting me on antibiotics when it was clear I didn’t have a UTI. It is very difficult to find a doctor that focuses on urological issues for women, even in NYC, so I was really hopeful that Dr. Hardart would be able to help me. After waiting for over an hour, I was finally seen. She chalked the whole thing up to anxiety and said I should consider seeking mental health counseling and going on anxiety medication. Even given that I am young, this dismissal was especially dissapointing given that she is a female doctor. Whil

Excellent gynecologist with specialty beyond general. I like her no nonsense practical approach. She does not prescribe medicine if not needed. She should have asked a few more personal questions but I followed her advice and had good results in less than l day. She is knowledgeable and kind. Very glad to continue to keep her as my gynecologist.

Unless you have lots of time and patience, don't waste your time. I can't tell you if she's a good doctor because I finally walked out after waiting 1:51 min. I kept asking how much longer and the front desk kept telling me a "few more minutes, she's running behind". Meanwhile, people who came in after me got to see her! Since I was a first time patient I was told it would take me longer and she was just going to "quickly talk" to the other patient. 1:51 mins! Many good doctors in NYC.

I visited this Dr with high hopes for treatment of my adhesions due to previous surgeries for endometriosis. My expectation was that she would perform an exploratory laparoscopy (last one was 10 years ago) to search for and ablate adhesions in my abdomenand/or pelvis.) She was dismissive of my complaint and suggestion. Instead, she recommended a 10 week physical therapy of rectal and vaginal manipulation via insertion of of fingers to manipulate these orifices manually. I rejected that therapy.
