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.

Dr Hearnsberger LISTENED!
Dr Hearnsberger listened to us and worked my son in due to a problem that could’ve gotten worse quickly. He’s now doing great. Thank you so much!

The staff is friendly enough. Dr. Hearnsberger is a pompous, ignorant, untrustworthy, soulless scoundrel. He doesn’t listen, and will attempt to get you to believe his spin! Seek a 2nd, 3rd, or 4th opinion if necessary! Also, if you’re not palm-colored.. RUNNNNNN, don’t walk!!!!

So glad I found Dr. Hearnsberger!
I came to Dr. Hearnsberger seeking a second option for severe tonsillitis (I am 34). Not only did the first doctor I saw not believe me that I had four rounds of strep back to back and severely abscessed tonsils but refused to listen as I pleaded for a tonsillectomy. Dr. Hearnsberger was extremely professional and kind and right off the bat asked me what I wanted to do. He validated every symptom and had much compassion for my suffering (I was pretty desperate at this point). He scheduled me for an immediate tonsillectomy and my quality of life has improved so much since. Thank you Hearnsberger for your compassion and thorough consultation, I would recommend him to anyone!

I have used Dr Hearnsberger for more than 30 years for my whole family. No matter how long it’s been since I saw him he knows exactly who I am and my history. He has figured out things my pcp has missed. He’s an excellent diagnostician and is so very kind and caring. I’ve never had an issue getting in to see him. I absolutely love him! You could not be in better hands.

Dr. Hearnsberger & his whole team are wonderful. Got my son in super quick for a really bad ear infection & into the OR 2 days later. Benefits of owning his own surgery center! He truly cares for his patients & has a great bedside manner which means a lot to me being a mother. Would definitely recommend him to anyone.

Dr. Hearnsberger has been my ENT for many years. He is an exceptional diagnostician and is very conservative in his approach to patients with Ear, Nose and Throat diseases and disorders. He is kind and caring and a genuinely good human being. He has a fabulous staff who go over and above to welcome and accommodate their patients. If you are looking for a Doctor who truly loves helping others, I highly recommend Dr. Graves Hearnsberger.

Hearnsberger is such a cool doctor! We are so thankful to him. From diagnose to complete the procedure, took him under 5 minutes! It ended my daughter's 5 days suffering from painful peritonsillar abscess. She felt a instant relief right after and was be able to eat, drink, talk, laugh, breathe!
