Front desk personnel was cordial and courteous. The room was clean and the Nurse that attended to me was like friendly. Dr. Hapner was very professional and knowledgeable. Communicate clearly on the issue why I was there. Explain all options available and applied what was best in my case. Highly recommend Dr, Hapner to all friends and family.
June 27, 2025Roland M.Verified patient
I scheduled an appointment through ZocDoc as they were listed as in-network. But given doctors can’t be trusted to update such things, I stated in the notes that my insurance was xyz and to call me if any issues. I also called the office directly to cover all bases and asked if everything was ready to go for my appointment, and the woman literally said, “Yes, we have all your information including insurance. See you soon.” I arrived over an hour’s drive later (60 miles) and they turned me away, taking no responsibility for what I had been told. Maybe these docs and office staff are brilliant in other ways to make up for this logistical nightmare, but… not for me! It was a complete waste of time and wear and tear on my car.

The doctor was friendly, clear and attentive. The front desk was efficient and helpful. The prep person was not as welcoming as I would expect. However, I would definitely recommend Dr. Hafner.

Great doctor experience. Staff was great. I was in and out in about 25 min. Doc did not push anything on me (eg surgery, custom orthotics). Easy A+ recommendation in Manassas.

Dr Hafner was great! I procrastinated with some toenail issues that were really causing me some discomfort and he took care of the
Short term needs In minutes and gave me long term treatment options as well. Exactly what I was hoping for! Highly recommend!

Good manner. Thorough explanation of my injury
May 11, 2023Janice B.Verified patient
I have had toe bail problems for about 1 1/2 years. I saw a podiatrist last year and he did nothing, said was not a fungus just look like the nail bed was damaged. Here the doctor cut away the damaged nail, sent to a laboratory and put me on anti fungle medicine. I have another appointment to check on progress. I sm hopeful that I can finally get this cleared up.
May 3, 2023Laura L.Verified patient
dr.hafner was very thorough, saw what needed doing, dealt with it very efficiently, and directed xrays be made to be sure there were no other problems needing fixing. i felt very good about how he treated the problem.
January 25, 2023Guy S.Verified patient
I brought my daughter in for in-grown toenail pain. The front desk staff and the nurse were very efficient and friendly. Dr Hafner was fantastic! He listened to my daughter's concerns and gave her a few options. We opted for removal of both in-grown nails. He was very kind and kept checking that she was okay. He put a cloth over the table so she didn't have to see the procedure. He then thoroughly explained the after care instructions. Overall, we couldn't be happier with the service we received and would recommend Dr Hafner and this location without reservation.
