Patient Reviews
Aug 14, 2024
My experience with Dr Hawthorne for over fifteen years has been wonderful. I will no longer be going to her clinic as the admin staff is totally unhelpful in dealing with issues involving insurance and Medicare. Their basic position is it is the patient's problem. No interest in being helpful. I'll be looking for a new eye doctor now.
