Patient Reviews
Nov 23, 2021
Dr. Hartel takes expert care of patients, knows ophthalmology better than anyone we’ve ever consulted ~ with neuro and ocular plastics background as well, has vast experience, and has extremely high standards - checks everything very carefully and cares about his patients’ health and well-being as though they’re part of his family. He is one of the most thoughtful, dedicated, tactful & caring physicians we have met … and we have had the great privilege of being helped by some absolutely great physicians. Dr. Hartel is certainly one of THE VERY BEST of THE VERY BEST!
