Corey Hatfield's Online Review Report Card

Unfortunately not particularly a good fit for me. I’m sure he is very knowledgeable but had difficulty connecting with in regard to my questions and getting answers.

I honestly wish I could give Dr. Hatfield a 0/5 review. Had my first appt with him on Thur. as an initial evaluation for rheumatoid arthritis or other conditions. Dr. Hatfield was condescending, intimidating and has a poor disposition to be in his chosen profession. After telling him I prefer to avoid long-term pharmaceuticals as a treatment choice, he became combative and asked why I was wasting his and my own time to be evaluated, told me there was little he could do to help. All of this BEFORE running any tests and barely doing a physical exam. Needless to say, I've called my GP this morning to get a referral to a new rheumatology practice.

I had initial eval for rheumatoid conditions with Dr. Hatfield last week. I found him to be condescending, rude and unprofessional. His demeanor is entirely unsuited for his chosen profession! His physical "exam" included random/unannounced grabbing of my arms, legs and buttocks in several places to presumably(?) get a reaction of pain from me. After telling him I prefer to avoid long-term pharmaceuticals as a treatment solution, he was condescending and asked why I wasted his/my own time to be seen. All of this BEFORE running diagnostics and after the aforementioned physical "exam." He stated during exam that test results come back in 7-10 days, yet he instructed his office staff to schedule a follow up in 2 mos. Needless to say, I've called my GP to request a referral to a different practice.

Terrible experience. Waited over an hour in the examining room. This was my first appointment, so when he came in he acted like he was pissed off that I was there. He said” I see Dr. “so and so” has been treating you so what do you want ME to do for you? It was downhill from there. Every question I asked was like a opportunity for him to try and make me look small and stupid. For instance I asked if my condition would keep getting worse or would it stabilize. He gave me a lecture about how he was a Christian and that even HE couldn’t predict what the outcome was. He gives Christians and doctors a bad name.

Dr Hatfield treated me for a year for an autoimmune disease. He explained clearly about what was wrong, the treatment plan and followed through with me every step of the way. I had a few issues and had to call his office. His staff consulted with Dr. Hatfield and got back to me right away. He was very active in my care. I would highly recommend him.

Dr. Hatfield does not have the disposition needed for his line of medical care. He is dismissive and arrogant. I would not recommend seeing him as a rheumatologist.

would not recommend this Dr to anyone

Hatfield doesn't even deserve to have Dr beside his name. When my wife first saw him in 2014, she had been on a steroid, due to pain, for several years. Her prior doctor had moved and his is who ACL put her with. On our very first visit, he started bullying her and stripped her of her steroid without weaning her off. This sent her into her first major lupus flare, which required hospitalization. The flare caused scarring in her lungs and she was discharged from the hospital on oxygen. She never recovered and came off oxygen because of him. His own colleagues came to visit my wife in the hospital and told us he was wrong for stripping instead of weaning. I wanted to sue but my wife said no. Now that she is gone, I want everyone to know what a jerk he is.

Dr. Hatfield has done more harm than good with my sister’s RA diagnosis! She was recently diagnosed and referred to this facility for further care and treatment. She has not been able to walk or stand for any length of time. Some days her hands have been so sore and inflamed she could not drive. Her job requires much standing and walking and she has not been able to perform those duties. She requested short-term disability through her employer and it was granted. Now, because Dr Hatfield does not believe in nor will he sign her disability paperwork, she may not receive the disability pay. So this has caused additional stress for her and stress exacerbates the inflammation raging in her joints! What has happened to Dr’s that take care of the “whole” person? She would most definitely have not chosen Dr. Hatfield if she had known his stance on signing disability paperwork. Please, please be careful when booking Dr Hatfield for care. Praise God she has a new Dr. in a different practice that has treated her like a person and is more aggressively working to gain control of her RA! This practice and Dr. Hatfield will never be recommended by my sister or any one she knows. Completely the worst care and experience I have ever been a part of.

He spent about 5 minutes with me, most of that time he was typing on the computer. He poked me in 4 spots, seemed to take it personally that I could not tolerate methotrexate, sent in an rx then rushed me out while I was still trying to ask questions about RA. I was almost in tears when I left.
