Dr. Bruce Hartwig, MD

Went to see Doctor Hartwig for a nerve conduction study (EMG). The front desk staff was very nice. Scott was polite, professional and put me at ease. He explained everything about the test beforehand so I would know what to expect. Doctor Hartwig was nice, polite and professional. I do not understand all of the negative comments. I had a great experience with everyone!

THIS DOCTOR FOUND THE REASON WHY , I WILL ALWAYS COME BACK TO MR. HARTWIG WHEN I HAVE OTHER PROBLEMS I JUST DONT UNDER HE FOUND IT OUT RIGHT AWAY AND THE STAFF TREATED ME KINDNESS SEPT 05, 2024 FROM DEC 23, 2023 TO SUFFER FROM MORE PAIN IS NOT GOOD , THANK YOU BRUCE YES YOU ARE THE MAN ,

Well, I woke up having a lacunar stroke. Verified by CT and MRI. Went to Dr Hartwig after discharge because he was the 1st Neurologist with an opening for new patient. He asked me what symptoms I had at stroke. I told him I tingled all over and could barely see, also some numbness in my lower legs. He asked me if I was sure I didn't just have a panic attack.....I was floored. I answered that I didn't think a panic attack (which I've never had) would wake me up from a dead sleep, and that I didn't think a panic attack would show up on tests as a stroke. If you need help, folks, look somewhere else. Waste of insurance money to go here for help.

I have cancer, a traumatic brain injury and a brain aneurysm. And he wants to clean the crystals out of my ears. They might cause dizziness. And he said……”you don’t really have anything seriously wrong”.

This guy needs to retire.

NO INTEGRITY!!! Dr Hartwig wrote a review on my health without ever touching me through an examine he never did in less than five minutes and that includes walking down the hall to his office. I would never see him again and I use to work with many doctors. It's all about money in his packet.

The Ultimate WORSE Dr every, and I’m using the term Dr loosely. As I’m working on my new patient paperwork, get to the second page, I see he walking out his previous patient. Cool beans, so I’m starting the sheet regards symptoms in the last 3 months. I get called and he tells me to go straight back to the right. We enter his office, he asked me why was I there, explained it to him. He asked when did the injury happen I said November. So he’s like, you're just now seeking treatment remark. He tells me he’s going to send me for PT. I asked what if that doesn’t work, what is the plan. He shouts I’m not doing surgery on you, that’s NOT WHAT I ASKED SIR. So I asked you want me to go the PT in sever pain, he shouts, IM NOT GIVING NARCOTICS, ok that’s find I need some to to keep me comfortable at work, him once again I AM NOT TAKING YOU OUT OF WORK. So I guess he does not offer other treatment options with someone 3 herniated discs, 2 bulging discs, a ligament tear with bone spurs.

Would not recommend this doctor. He made snide remarks about the tests that my orthopedic doctor had ordered in that he wished "they" had allowed him to do the testing and said that apparently everything was fine according to those results. Kept asking questions, but did not listen to my response. Most of my time (8 of the 10 minutes I was actually there) was spent in his personal office, not in the exam room. He did not do an exam, only asked more questions. It's almost as if he didn't believe that there was an issue. He gave me a prescription for muscle spasms even though he had already corrected me when I called them spasms and said that's not what what I am experiencing, and said for me to call him in two days. When I asked what they were for, he said, "I am treating the symptoms". I don't want symptoms treated, I want a diagnosis for the root cause. I will not be taking the meds and will not be calling him back. I will however, be seeking a referral to a different doctor.

In and out in under 2 minutes. Writes a prescription and sends you on your way. I don't recommend him.

I'm a 52 year old disabled Veteran of 20 years. I have seen my share of doctors. This guy was the most rude doctor I've had the pleasure to meet. The guy just comes in demanding answers and when I tried to explain my case, he didn't want to hear about it. The guy never explained what any procedure was until I felt a sting in my leg and I jerked it away and he said to lay still so he can stick me. To this day, I still don't know why he stuck me 3 times with a needle. The guy is a jerk and has been reported to workers comp and BBB.

I would give 0 starts if able to. I went with my husband to his appointment. He was sent to Dr. Hartwig by his workman's compensation specialist. He took us to his office and never examined my husband. As my husband asked questions the doctor did not listen. He already had a response ready before the question was even asked. When my husband drew attention to that fact the doctor became defensive. He told him that there was nothing that he could do for him. That he was not going to take him out from work. My husband never asked to be removed from work. On the contrary, he wants to be at work and wants to be 100%. This man is condescending and rude. It got to the point that I actually said don't waste your breath on him. The most unprofessional doctor I have ever come across. Do not go to him. He should not be allowed to practice with that bedside manner.

I was referred to Dr. Hartwig by my primary Dr. on 1/3/2020 because he was in my network and he’s supposed to be a specialist in treating migraines. After completing all the paperwork that was required of me, I was taken in to see him. The first thing he asked me was why I was there and I told him because I suffer from migraines. His response was I’ll make the decision on rather or not you are sick. This doctor was very RUDE and unprofessional. All he wanted to do was write me a prescription for medications without even examining me or diagnosing what was wrong with me, but yet he’s supposed to be the specialist. When I advised him that I already had medication for my migraines from my primary Dr., he said well continue to take that and come back in a week to see him. That’s not going to happen. Why would I go back? He did nothing for me accept insult me. I walked out of his office upset, disgusted and disappointed. This is the worst Dr. I have ever been to.

I am 21 years old & didn't have much experience with Dr.'s, in fact I was afraid of them. Dr. Hartwig kept me calm & ran some tests on me & diagnosed what was causing my problems. He took the time to explain it to me so that I could understand. He put me on medication that made me feel worse, so I contacted him & he immediately changed the medication & the dosage. What a difference he has made in the quality of my life for the past 2 years! I would highly recommend him to friends & family!

I saw Dr Hartwig and he talked to me across his desk. He did not even complete a neurological eval. I hadnt completed my paperwork so I took it back with me but he never asked for it. He was condesvending and dismissive. He wrote a prescription for me that a team of neurologists at a well-respected hospital said I shouldn’t take because it put me at risk for a potentially life-threatening condition if combined with other meds I am taking. But he would not offer anything else.

Find another doctor. He has serious medical record issues & bills insurance for time not spent w you. No care provided. Run.

If sent there by VA run. His letter was dated the day before my appt. Described me as black man . Im as white as can be! Doesnt listen ,did not report my work history accurately.

Said Hello, Never introduced himself, Never smiled, said he would send results to my Dr, then walked out.
