Dr. Joseph Hegarty, MD

I have always been treated very well, every visit. Dr Hagerty and his staff are amazing and very compassionate. I'd highly recommend them to everyone.

Dr Hegarty is awesome. He is very understanding, friendly, & compassionate. He explains everything he is doing. Dr Hegarty is very down to earth to the point you feel you are speaking to a friend instead of your doctor. The entire staff is so nice, friendly, & compassionate as well. I feel they are family.

I am a retired R.N. with 20 yr. of chronic pain and have been treated by many practitioners. My referral to Dr. Hegarty was to explore a different plan for addressing my poor quality of life since there had not been any medication changes during the two decades of living with unrelenting upper thoracic,shoulder & neck pain. He was a good listener, very knowledgeable and gave me sound options to try. Follow up visits to further work toward the best efficacy have been just as pleasing. I must confess that it broke my heart to be treated with so much dignity and compassion. I will be forever grateful for that, alone.

Always concerned about my pain level and my over all health. I highly recommend Dr. Hagarty to any and every one experiencing chronic pain.

Each person I interacted with was so professional and kind. Felt cared for as one should at such a difficult time. Chronic pain can be exhausting. I felt they were each capable took the time to explain each procedure before that appointment. Dr. Hegarty and his PA, Scott were caring and able to address my pinched nerve precisely. I just felt like I mattered to them. You can't put a price on competency and kindness in one practice. Thank you to the entire staff!

I have had a myriad of issues and 7 orthopedic SX for the 7 years I’ve been his patient. The one issue never resolved is extreme low back pain for 7 years. Dr. Hegarty never gave up on the low back pain. When one diagnosis and the respective tests and procedures failed, we moved to a different one in effort to determine the source. I lay awake at night hurting and have researched extensively during my wakefulness to put a name on my condition that isn’t THERE’S NOTHING WRONG WITH YOU that I have heard from other doctors for years. I finally have been able to diagnose myself with Bertolotti’s syndrome, which is controversial, and eventually also hypermobility Elher’s Danlos syndrome. I took this self-diagnosis to him. He said let’s try. I was most impressed that he thoughtfully listened and made me feel like we were a team. He was open to procedures to try to confirm my self-diagnosis. He wasn’t prideful and arrogant like most doctors and wave off a patient’s self-diagnosis. Go see him.

Dr. Hagerty is so attentive when he is not available Scott is available which is also extremely attentive. I never have to ask them twice to take a look at my x-rays that is done before showing up for my appointment. I have the greatest greatest doctor and PA I could ever ask for!!!!!! I am a very, very lucky woman to have found Dr Haggerty, and Scott!!!

I'm a scaredy cat, when it comes to going to any Dr. (White coat syndrome) but Dr. Hegarty was super nice. He is a great listener, was very impressed with him!

Dr. Hegarty was highly recommended and is experienced , knowledgeable , and kind ! I felt at ease to ask questions and was very satisfied with the results of my treatment ! He is a great doctor!

I am an older female who often has A LOT of anxiety. I have been a patient of Dr. Hegarty for over 4 years. He has ALWAYS taken the time to explain what is going on with my back and completely explains what my treatment options are. He is not the first pain management specialist I’ve seen, but he is definitely the best.

He is very informative about the medicine...what to expect, the pros and cons. Cares about the patient and their well being.

Excellent & very knowledgeable & compassionate . Also Step by step explained exactly what was causing my problems & painAnswered my questions and also gave me additional knowledge of what I should do to help avoid pain

Love this doctor would definitely recommend him.

Dr. Hegarty is very compassionate. He listens quietly and then tells you what needs to be done to decrease the pain. He's professional, very knowledgeable about the body and pain. He explains everything well enough to be understood. The people of Savannah are so very blessed to have Dr. Hegarty.

Dr. Hegarty is very caring when it comes to his patients health. I need surgery and I don't have a primary care provider, but Dr. Hegarty told me to go to the urgent care center and let them do a checkup and get my clearance in a timely manner. He does all he can to help his patients .

We felt like everyone cared about my pain!

Service by the staff and Dr Haggerty was excellent
