Dr. Hart was very warm, asked great questions and made me very comfortable..
I would highly recommend her as a primary care physician..
June 19, 2014Theresa R.Verified patient
I always find Dr. Hart attentive and wonderful to meet with. I wish she had more help so that she did not have to carry so many hats, but despite that she is always pleasant and takes the time needed with her patients. It is because of her investment in all patients that I count it a privilege to be one of her patients.

Dr Hart is great, but wait time too long every visit. Probably need to re-think spacing appointments.

Schedules patients within 15 intervals, wait time was well over an hour for each of the visits with exception of the first which was for a.m. and the Receptionist didn't have it booked. They didn't seem to be clued into Zoc Doc. Receptionist worked me in.
Doctor Hart seemed impatient because I had questions and of course my 15 minutes was up after she had gone through my test results.
She seemed offended when I mentioned the wait times.
Not aftewards I received a letter stating that she was dropping me as a patient.
July 23, 2015Catherine B.Verified patient
I waited in a dark, dreary waiting room for an hour and a half. Dr. hart had Horrible bedside manner. She was Very condescending. Asked all of the wrong questions. I would not recommend her to my worst enemy.

I waited for an hour and a half before being called in by Dr. Hart's assistant. Her assistant gave me my flu shot and did not know where the bio disposal bin was or where the band aids were located. Everything about it felt off.
I originally went for a check-up and only saw Dr. Hart for about 5 minutes (after an almost 2 hour wait). I'm sure Dr. Hart is a capable doctor, but she's running a faulty clinic. Will definitely be on the look out for a different primary care doctor.

Like all appointments, Dr. Hart provides very personalized patient care. However, we always have to wait 75 - 90 minutes before the actual visit takes place.
February 26, 2014Wilbur E.Verified patient
I just adore Dr. Hart. I love that she takes the time to listen and also explain (in laymans terms at times) what we/I/the patient need to understand. She is warm and personable.

I recently visited Dr Hart for some sensitive issues. She was extremely caring and compassionate. She made a few recommendations and was proactive in the nexts steps to take. She took her time to ask questions and understand the entire situation. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a doctor who takes her time and cares for her patients.

Dr. Hart is an excellent doctor. Although, she can be a bit rude at times, she is thorough and compassionate when it comes to the care of her patients. Dr. Hart has proven to be a great find and I'm glad that I chose her as my Primary Care Physician.
May 10, 2013Latrisha C.Verified patient
Dr. Hart is a God doctor. She is sometimes stretched thin with all of her patients but she is thorough and caring. She takes time to discuss patients conditions and makes sure patients get the care they deserve. She is an all around good practitioner but she needs more availability in her schedule for urgent needs. Thank you Dr. Hart.
More than 1 year agoLatrisha C.Verified patient
As an RN I am pretty picky about my medical care. I went to see Dr Hart on an introductory visit because I was looking for a new Family Physician that was available to me when I needed to see her. I was impressed with her thouroughness, her demeanor and her relaxed attitude with me. No rushing, no clock watching, a terrific evening and weekend coverage schedule and a professional and competent attitude.

She was amazing. I didn't feel like I was just and office visit. She took time to really talk to me and find the root of the problem.

Dr Hart was obviously busy but she took the time to talk with me about my health and planned out a path to help me. Not your usual, too busy.

Dr. Hart actually listens to you. Being a female, she knows exactly what you are experiencing when it comes to female issues. Although she is always busy and I expect to wait to see her, she is worth it!!

My previous visits were excellent. Dr. Hart is very thorough and she is concerned about my overall health. She made sure that I had all of my checkups done for my heart and colon, and she sent me to the appropriate specialist to make sure these areas were checked out.
