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.

Look No Further!
Dr. Hartl is everything you will want in a Neurosurgeon. Brilliant, knowledgeable, World-class-Yes!Also, warm, kind, caring and compassionate!What a winning combination!Dr. Hartl and his team took the very best care of me. And, my case was very challenging.My cervical spine was severely degenerated due to a MVA 39 years ago, and two surgeries prior.So much so that it looked like I had Osteoporosis, which I do not. But, this made for a very risky surgery.Dr. Hartl was still willing to take my case and devised a genius and an intricate plan to help me regain functioning and get me out of unmanageable pain.It worked! I am symptom and pain free!Not only that, but I'm an athlete and am back to working out daily and am stronger than ever!I am also back to working without accommodations.There are no words!I am forever indebted to Dr. Hartl and his team.I recommend them without reservation!

Excellent surgical results
Dr. Hartl performed extensive cervical spine laminectomy and fusion on me three months ago. My care and recovery on the Spine floor of NY Presbyterian Hospital was wonderful. I received valuable support and immediate response from his office staff through his portal, to all of my questions and needs. I am now pain free. I have highly recommended Dr. Hartl to friends and family.

Dr Hartl and his team are world class. I have had
It was simply incredible. The process was seamless. Clearly I had the best minimally invasive spine surgery available in the United States not only is the technique world class, but Dr. Hartle is a professor and innovator of this surgical process. I have had four procedures at HSS hospital special surgery over the last six years And they are fantastic and are voted the best orthopedic hospital in the US for 14 years However, for spine surgery, there is only one place to go Presbyterian Cornell Sanford Weill And Dr. Hartle‘s team. Sincerely, Mark Ohrstrom.
