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. HARTLEY. HE is kind. he listens to your concerns. he has your interest in mind when talking to you.

let my health slip through the cracks almost died
mast visit with hartley did a MRI took didn't get the results after ten days i called numerous times was told hartley hadn't sign off on results so they won't release them i could feel myself getting very weak. so i switch doctors at memorial switched cardiologist apparently the switch was informed i was switching doctor from hartley shortly thereafter I got a letter in my memorial portal from hartley stating he " let me health slip through the cracks". days later I had TAVR procedure to replace Aortic valve. I should have been told MUCH earlier that the last MRI showed it was time to have the TARV, i was told that my heart was so weak it stopped during the procedure i was informed by truly professional doctors. also, there was no apology in the portal message from hartley for letting my health SLIP THROUGH THE CRACKS very unprofessional treatment i received. stay away from here is you are a proud black male.

My pharmacy has been trying to get my scripts refilled for a week. Staff isn’t doing their job, surely receptionists can do something, always passing the buck.
