This patient had a phenomenal experience with Dr. Hart, our colon and re**al surgeon! Check out the full review: "Most of my experience with Drs. and hospitals has been in a large nationally known medical center in my area. As a nurse/employee and for medical care. I was hesitant to deal with my recent cancer diagnosis/treatment closer to home. But Dr. Hart inspired confidence in me in her ability and knowledge right from the start. We are working toward surgical treatment and her thoroughness and willingness to go the extra mile have been comforting."
