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.

Unprofessional and intimidating
During my meeting he took a personal phone call as I sat there, he could not figure out how to use his computer? He demanded cash for payment. I tried to use a credit card he decided to tack on a fee. He was intimidating, did not explain anything and wish I would have read reviews before wasting my time. I would never recommend this so-called professional.

I was a lttle worried after reading some bad reviews - but could see through them and thought I'd give him a shot since it is very conventint location. Right from the start the office staff and nurse were very friendly and helpful. Dr. Hafner was full of information and answered all of my questions. I would recommend him and will continue to go there.

Terrible bedside matter is an understatement. This doctor uses threats and intimidation to ensure that patients follow his policies to the letter. He told me in his exact words... "you're going to die" on one occasion.. and also said things like "your life is a mess" and "you don't make any money" when referring to my job. The best advice I could give anyone.. Stay away from this miserable man.

While he does not have the best bedside manner, he is probably the best in the area for diagnosing your problem.
