Dr. John C. Hart Jr's Online Review Report Card

Dr. Hart was combative and an absolute nightmare to deal with when it came to my issues of early onset cataracts. I needed help with a previous surgery and he told me it was the “best it was going to get” and the issues I was experiencing were just expected. I can happily say now that after finding a retina specialist, that was able to properly diagnose and treat, I can finally see clearly after 10 years of issues. This practitioner is the quintessential example as to why Being your own advocate is a requirement in the american healthcare system. Dr. Hart if you would like to reach out, please do. You have my number in my medical record.

He seems to have an issue with answering questions. Once, (10/2021) while attempting to get a better understanding regarding a condition, he stood and proceeded to exit the examining room. Last week, rather than explain with detail my concerns regarding the nature of my visit he began talking about “dry eyes.” Then, further informed me about having tear plugs inserted. As I continued to ask questions about the procedure he became annoyed and snapped “you don’t have to get them, it’s up to you.” No, I definitely don’t recommend him. I was originally Dr. Shepherd’s patient, he retired and I will be looking for another doctor.

While Dr. Hart's associates are FINE. HE was not. Never in my life had I have a Physician laugh at me (when I was NOT telling a joke or being self-effacing.) I am NOT a thin skinned person. Dr.Hart perceived that I was arguing about having to wear readers and glasses for driving when in fact I was questioning his recommendation of ALSO wearing a pair of INTERMEDIATE GLASSES. He asked what level my readers were, I said "300"...he immediately guffawed, said to his associate "Did you hear that? She wears 300!! And they only make them up to 350!!!!" I was humiliated, angry, embarrassed and have never had a physician behave in such an unprofessional manner. I only went to his practice because I could not get in to see my usual doctor until 2022. You can rest assured I will NOT be returning to Dr.Hart at any point in the foreseeable (pun intended), future. I do NOT need to be laughed at and humiliated by a physician when I am NOT making the joke myself.

I had a 50 year old traumatic cataract from a childhood injury that Dr. Hart skillfully removed when other specialist refused to even consider the surgery due to the risk. Dr. Hart and his team literally recovered a great deal of sight in the injured eye and I cannot say enough about what a fine doctor he is. His bedside manner was phenomenal. His abilities as a doctor are exceptional. FIVE STARS FROM ME.

Dr. Hart was very mean and short. You can clearly tell that he does not want to be here...

Dr. Hart did surgery on my eye and helped to save my vision. He is a great doctor and came highly recommended by other doctors I worked with. He also did lasix surgery on my son who was amazed at how good he could see right after surgery. His office staff is very friendly and professional. I would highly recommend him.

Time to retire! Dr. hart is miserable. Terrible bedside manner. He was in and out in less than 5 minutes. Didn't even look me in the eye. Not Engaged or concerned, rushed. Assistant did his job. Been coming here, but I'm done. And I'm not the only one. Time to wake up.

My wife recently had cataract surgery by Dr Hart. I’ve been a practicing physician for over forty years. In all that time as a professional, I have never encountered such poor bedside manner. His surgical skills are not at issue but the coldness and indifference that my wife was treated to was unprecedented. There’s no reason that a doctor shouldn’t be a good surgeon AND a compassionate one. Good luck finding that combination in Dr Hart.

Had been seeing Dr. Hart for several years. Was satisfied with how I was treated until today. I was there for yearly exam but not refraction. I see an optometrist for that as that is their expertise. I was there for 2.5 hours for what last year took about a little over an hour. Testing rooms were not readily available so I had to wait and I was willing to wait. In the exam room Dr. Hart came in with a medical student and he mainly gave all of his attention to her throughout the exam which was the briefest part of my time there. If I didn't interrupt with questions the only info I would have received is from his conversation with her. He needs to wake up. I am not saying that he should not have talked to the medical student, but THE PATIENT IS THE CUSTOMER WHO BRINGS REVENUE INTO THE PRACTICE, WHICH IS A BUSINESS. PATIENTS ARE CUSTOMERS. They need to be treated as such. I am taking my business elsewhere.

Disappointed in the service that was provided had to get my glasses made up twice and they were still not correct. Found the office staff not to empathic to my concerns. Overall, would not return their for any services or recommend this practice to others.
