Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Great doctor and great care!
I started seeing Dr. Hauser about five years ago and since they I have referred many family members and friends to her office. She is the most thorough doctor I have ever been to and she is able to take care of my complex medical problems. Her front desk staff is efficient and gets tests prior authorizations done and tests scheduled very quickly. I am so grateful I found this doctor.

Attentive and highly recommend
My family has been patients of Dr. Hauser for over 15 years. She knowledgable and takes the time to interact with you and understand the reason for the visit be it routine or due to an illness. The staff is accomidating over the phone and in person with the scheduling of appointments. I am glad she now accepts credit cards so we can easily use our flexspend card. We recommend her to familiy and friends.

Rude staff and long wait times
Dr Hauser is nice and acceptable as a doctor. But didn’t remember important things that I was following up for. She is always running late up to 45 min even when I was the first patient of the day she was 15 late. The front desk receptionist is the rudest medical person I’ve ever dealt with (and I’m an RN.) The office and the doctor make it impossible to follow up in a timely matter on urgent issues. And I no longer trust them to provide safe care.

Highly Reccomend
Having received medical care at Dr. Hauser's office for some years, we have cause to be grateful for the excellent care provided by her and the staff at the front desk. Jennifer, the woman at the front desk, schedules appointments quickly (often on the same day) and handles all external scheduling and referrals with efficiency and care. Dr. Hauser truly listens to the reporting of symptoms and includes our contributions in making a feasible and medically appropriate treatment plan. Questions are always answered in understandable ways and not rushed; the doctor relates to us as patients and people. We have been served well in two life-threatening medical crises by both women's efforts to get us what was needed. Dr. Hauser and her staff are an excellent medical team. I recommend them heartily

Highly recommended!
My family and I have been patients of Dr. Hauser for about ten years. She is insightful and always takes our preferences for treatment into account. Same day emergency appointments are always available. The phone is answered by a helpful person and not a machine. The office is calm and runs smoothly. There is a waiting are for kids with books and toys. I highly recommend this office!

Dr. Hauser has been our family's primary care doctor and our pediatrician for many years. She is smart, personable, listens carefully, always available and never rushes us through our appointments. Our children are grown now, and have moved out of the area, but they still stay in touch with Dr. Hauser, even after all these years. Thank you Dr. Hauser for having taken such good care of us.

I have been seeing Dr. Hauser for four years. I have several complex medical problems and she is always able to address my concerns. If I have to see her for an acute problem she will see me the same day. Her staff is extremely diligent and will work hard to get prior authorizations approved and tests and referrals set up. It is an overall fantastic office! I have referred family members and coworkers to her.

The secretary whose taking appointment for Dr. Hauser is very rude and doesn't seem to know what she is talking about. Tried to schedule 1st appt for my husband, but then she started dictating me, with upleAsant tone on her voice, about HIPPA rules. I happened to work at medical billing field and quite familiar with such guidelines. And setting up an appt for a person that I'm taking care for- doesn't fall into HIPPA rules category. She's full of air. I will not recommend this Dr office.

Dr. Hauser does not seem very knowledgeable. She gives the impression of being very hesitant and unsure when presented with various symptoms or complaints. I always have to wait 45 minutes or more past my scheduled appointment time, but once I get in to see the doctor, she never spends more than 15 minutes with me. I would not recommend this doctor.
