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.

Excellent
I love the fact that he listens to what you have to say, he cares, and he pushes you to give a little bit more for the next visit. Excellent bedside manners!!!

I would definitely recommend Dr. Hartford Jr.
Dr. Hartzog explained my mri & x-ray results thoroughly to me. My cortisone shot to my shoulder was far less painful than my friend said it would be. Thank you Dr. Hartzog!
