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.

I will miss Dr Hatfield as she relocates to be closer to family. Best wishes to her. She has provided excellent care over the years.

Oh my gosh- I don't have enough good things to say about Dr. Hatfield! She was absolutely wonderful. She made me feel so incredibly at ease and was patient and kind. Typically I feel like doctors visits feel rushed, but she didn't make me feel that way at all. Couldn't recommend her enough and will absolutely have her be my go to doctor!

Terrible OBGYN
Very cold, unfriendly and no bedside manner. She’s also very lazy. Her and her team severely lag on paperwork and now because of her I won’t be receiving disability for my leave. Extremely judgmental and rude. Ask for a new doctor if referred to her.

Be careful with the billing. My daughter visited the Dr. Hatfield in 2018, I never got a bill or a phone call, and then I got a letter from a collection agency in March 2020. It took many call to get it addressed and now I don't even know if it was reported to a credit agency or not.

I am honestly shocked to read the negative reviews above. I have been seeing Dr. Hatfield off and on (due to moves out of state and back) for 5 years. She always remembers who I am and is very friendly. She is warm and makes me feel extremely comfortable. I was seeing her regularly when I had several abnormal paps, a LEEP and follow ups. She successfully removed all the abnormal cells during the LEEP and always made me feel taken care of.

Heard she is a great surgeon, but no bedside manner and I had to wait 50 minutes after my ultrasound to see her. I told her I wasn't quite ready to make a decision regarding the news she had told me, which clearly annoyed her. She then called me to mention two things she had noticed on the U/S that she had missed before, and recommended a D+C. Still haven't had it done, and won't be having with her no matter how technically proficient she is

She might be a good practitioner, but she seems very unfriendly. She doesn't do anything to make you feel comfortable and at ease. She never smiles and overall seems very cold. It took way too long to get my test results after a biopsy looking for cancer - that's unacceptable.
