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. Hart is always very thorough and caring with me. I always get all of my questions answered. I feel like she cares about what happens to me. I recently had a virtual visit with her and got the same attention as an in person exam.

Dr. Hart really cares about her patients. She is very thorough, caring, explaining and wants the best for her patient. Lately I’ve head several virtual visits with her and again she is very concerned about her patient’s well being, explains medications and course of action. Great doctor! The only negative is during office visits she sometimes runs behind a little too much.

I went for my annual Medicare vsiit. The office has set up a separate room for "well' patients. Dr Hart and her staff are always very professional and courteous and friendly. Dr Hart is very thorough in her interview and very caring and spends whatever time is necessary to review lab results and answer all of my questions/concerns. I am very happy with the care I receive form her and the staff at TPMG and I highly recommend her.

Dr. Hart is one of the best doctors I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. She is very thorough, compassionate and has great listening skills. I’ve been searching for a new PCP and I am so glad I found her!! The office staff was really nice as well! Dr Hart is the type of doctor that is hard to come by.

TW in VA – Nov 07, 2018

The front desk is the worst. They leave you on hold forever. If you voice a concern after they do come back, they get an attitude with you. If you leave a message with one of the receptionists, no one can find any messages left there. If you have notes faxed to their office, they never can find them and say they didn't receive them. Dr. Hart is a good doctor but if you mention your concerns about the front desk, she gets mad ! I do trust her decisions though.

Called for an appointment as a new patient. After being put on hold by the receptionist for 10 minutes ("I am assisting a patient") she took my information and said the "office manager" would call me back. After waiting two days I called again and was told that she has no record of my call and Dr hart does not accept new patients for two month. I am sick and they waisted my time.
