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.

Very caring
I’ve been seeing Dr.Hnat for 10 years. When I started I wasn’t receiving much care for my Lupus. Over the years we’ve put together my entire journey and have had some success. We’ve kept a close eye and she explains everything and asks for my input. I have severe photosensitivity, inflammation and other issues. There’s not much we can do for the photosensitivity, at 57 I’m mostly regulated to indoor. The inflammation everywhere we use everything from sliver to infusions. She doesn’t give up. She listens intently, and works with me, keeping me informed. She’s flexible with treatment and works hard to help my pain. It’s tricky but she treats individually each issue rather than just saying this is your only option. With her 10 years has improved my quality of life. She’s the best

I have never met such a nice, caring, and professional doctor like Dr. Hnat. From the minute I walked in to the lobby I felt comfortable. The staff was very nice and professional. There was almost no wait time. Dr. Hang was so comforting and caring. She went above and beyond what I expected. She took her time and listened to everything I had to say. She didn’t rush through any question or concern I had and I had a lot. She seen I was nervous and worried and she put my mind at ease right away. She had the best bed side manner I have ever experienced. Almost like a mother speaking to her child. She did a full and thorough examination from head to toe. She ordered multiple test for what I was there for and for other things that I told her I discussed with my PCP that had nothing to do with my visit with her that day that my PCP should have done but didn’t for some reason. Dr. Hnat is one of a kind. I wish all doctors were like her

I suffered for a very long with unexplained pains, fevers and malais. Kaiser was finally smart enough to refer me to Dr.Hnat and within a very short she and looking specifically at advance DNA testing she was able to properly diagnose that I had Lupus. At last something tangible that could be addressed. While I am not cured, my symptoms are manageable. What a kind caring humanbeing that happens to be a great doctor. Thank you.
