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.

Most Compassionate Doctor
Although I did not look forward to whipple surgery, Dr. Hardacre was the best surgeon you could ask for. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable, but his bedside manner caring for me afterwards was phenomenal! I cannot recommend him enough if you need this type of surgeon.

Surgical Oncologist @ University Hospital
I received unexpected news and was referred to Dr Hardacre. Our overall experience with him was fantastic, he was very direct and honest about what needed to be done. I was very impressed that he personally visited me multiple times while hospitalized. Due to wound issues, I had multiple follow up visits, in which he was so informative and helpful to us through my healing process. We are so grateful to have been referred to someone that we feel is the best at what he does, and his awesome bedside manner was definitely a bonus.

Surgeon
Dr. Hardacre remove a Sarcoma from my abdomen. He was exceptional. He was so kind, wonderful bedside manner. He explained everything he needed to do. His expertise allowed me to only be in the hospital 3 days after surgery. I have recovered amazingly. It has been 6 weeks since my surgery, I am already out walking on a nice day, and doing inside exercises with a video program. I am 81 years old. I am so grateful to Dr. Hardacre. He has given me more years to live my life.

Great care, concerned surgeon
Dr. Hardacre performed my Whipple surgery in July 2024. All of my appts with him (pre-surgery, in the hospital, post-surgery) were helpful and informative. He really takes the time to listen to your concerns and make sure your questions are answered. I'm so happy he was my doctor!

Worldclass surgeon with personal care
Dr. Hardacre performed a Whipple procedure. His bedside manner was amazingly personal. He followed up on reports immediately on the weekend, from the tarmac of a runway, and minutes after a CT scan. The surgery was without significant complication and healed well. Would highly recommend.

Excellent care
I was in his office within 3 days of DX of pancreatic cancer and scheduled for first part of surgery and mediport placement the following week. After 6 rounds of chemotherapy he did a whipple and everything went great. He has a great bedside manner and explains everything even draws pictures so you understand what’s going on. so happy I did the research and found him during our difficult time. I am still under his care. I couldn’t be more pleased with a doctor like him.

I had exploratory pancreatic surgery done by Dr. Hardacre a couple of months ago. Pre surgery appointments were helpful, the surgery was done as scheduled, results were communicated, and follow up so far has been helpful.

Dr. Hardacre saved my life.
Dr. Hardacre is a very caring physician. He is an exceptional surgeon. I had no complications after my Whipple surgery and he was with me every step of the way. He was also my surgeon 15 years ago for a gastrointestinal stromal tumor and I had the exact same experience. UH, University Hospitals, is very lucky to have him as UH Cancer Surgeon .

Dr Jeffrey Hardacre was my husband's surgeon for his pancreatic surgery in January 2024. Dr Hardacre explained the surgery ahead of time and answered all our questions. He did an excellent job removing all my husband's cancer. We highly recommend Dr Hardacre.

I would and have already recommended Dr. Hardacre
I had a tumor on my pancreas and other areas that were removed by Dr. Hardacher. He was a great presence that calmed me in his explanations and drawings of my procedure. His visits in the hospital were straight forward in telling me what was next in my care, he answered my questions. His team was great and also saw me everyday. I had visits in the office until released.

I immediately took on a sense of confidence and security on my initial meeting with Dr. Hardacre. He immediately described my condition and with diagrams and explanations that were easy to understand, he suggested how he would go about the surgery, risks and concerns and recovery. His spirit, body language and response to questions instilled in me a comfort and assurance. His follow through with appointments became more and more enlightening so that when I went in for surgery, I went in with no fears or doubts. His follow up after surgery reaffirmed further convinced me that I was in the hands of a very capable doctor. Without reservation I would recommend Dr. Jeffrey Hardacre to anyone seeking the services I found in him.

Scary diagnosis
From the first meeting I felt I would be in excellent hands. Dr Hardacre explained everything using drawings. He made sure I had time to ask any questions. I am a nurse with almost 40 years experience. I had my list of questions prepared. There may have been one that he didn’t answer before I could even ask. He and his team took amazing care of me pre, in-hospital, and post hospitalization. I can’t say enough about his demeanor, and the respect I was shown in all aspects of my care.
