June 2025

I have now seen Dr. Hartnick for two of my children for laryngomalacia. And not only do I think that he is a fantastically informed doctor, he also still very much remembers what it means to be a human. And I appreciate his help. Thank you. Take care.

Amazing practice!


June 2025

Always so helpful, professional, easy and accommodating. Staff is friendly! Even though appointments had to be canceled several times, they still did what they could to help me align hearing test with visit.


June 2025

He seemed very knowledgeable and listened to our concerns, but he appeared to be rushed. [redacted]


May 2025

Dr. Hartnick is excellent, period. We've seen him twice and the wait time both times was over an hour and a half, period. Is there anything that can be done to make the wait times less long, period?"


April 2025

They were kind, knowledgeable, and efficient. I had to repeat things said to others before and felt it was for consistency and accuracy. Very happy with them.


April 2025

The wait time this day was much longer than the other visits we've had. We waited nearly an hour in the waiting room. All staff including the Dr were excellent

We appreciate that took the time to review our daughter's chart prior to meeting with us.
