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.
I cannot recommend Dr. Hafner highly enough. She shepherded me through my breast cancer diagnosis and surgery. She is patient and reassuring. She made a stressful time seem routine. She is the best!

Dr. Hafner is amazing!!! She takes her time and you never feel like she’s rushed. She answers all your questions and goes above and beyond to make sure you feel comfortable with everything going on. She’s very knowledgeable, compassionate and empathetic. So glad I’ve come a crossed her on my breast cancer journey.

Dr hafner, despite being a surgeon, doesn’t want to operate on a person unless she is sure that surgery will help them. I found that very refreshing. She is kind and will spend as much time with you as needed to answer all your questions. That being said, she is often running behind on appts, so be prepared to wait unless you get an early morning appt. the wait is worth it tho, and she will spend as much time with you as needed. She also did an excellent job removing my gallbladder!

My favorite Dr. Hafner story is that she called me on her cell phone while running up stairs. "I'm sorry I'm out of breath, but I knew you'd want to know your results." She understood that a 70 year-old woman, new to the area, had placed her full trust in her, and she never let me down. I can't say enough about her competence and caring. I recommend her and her team with infinite gold stars. She told me breast cancer was a bump in the road, and thanks to her, it was.

Amazing, kind and very knowledgeable. Quick to get results back from her, not an assistant, but Dr. Hafner called herself. That was helpful so when I had questions she could answer now and not make me wait for a returned call.

At a time when I felt I had important decisions to make, Dr. Hafner was available to see me and give me a clear picture of what my best options were. She was thorough, knowledgeable, professional, and explained everything well. She doesn't rush through your consultation time, but is very concerned about you, the patient, and wants to make sure all your questions are answered. Her post-op follow up was excellent as well. I would highly recommend her to others.

I dont think there is enough wonderful things to say about Dr. Hafner! I am so bless that i was referred to her. If i had my pick of all of the surgeons i still would have picked her. She explains things in such a way that i could understand. Her bedside manner is the best I've seen from any physician. You can tell she loves what she does and it shows in her work.

Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Hafner?
Dr. Hafner came highly recommended to me by medical professionals. From initial consultation to surgery follow up she was great. It took me two visits with other surgeons and a trip to holland to find this gem of a surgeon. She stressed that my gallbladder be removed even though symptoms had silenced a bit. Other surgeons said “no symptoms no problems.” Come to find out pathology report showed precancerous cells. Now I know why she was recommended to me, she’s wonderful.

After the shock of being diagnosed with Breast Cancer, my anxiety was quickly eased by Dr. Hafner on my first visit with her. Her very positive and clear description of what my journey back to good health would be was so important for me and my family to understand. After my lumpectomy, my recovery was incredibly smooth with surprisingly with no pain. Dr. Hafner came highly recommended to me and I now add my name to her long list of very satisfied patients.

I could not ask for more. Dr. Hafner is patient, kind, upbeat, compassionate, and incredibly smart. She stays up on the latest in breast surgery and is willing to consult with others to offer the best possible care. Truly an advocate for her patients. She made a very difficult situation far less so.

Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Hafner?
Very kind, nice surgeon. She was informative up front but unfortunately, she put my son's peg tube through his colon and then into his stomach which wasn't discovered until 7 weeks later when he almost died, despite our continued trips to the ER with tube problems and insistence that there was something wrong with his tube. She did not call to check on our son once her office was informed of his failing state at Spectrum Hospital. Very disappointing.
