Safet Hatic's Online Review Report Card

Dr. Hatic repaired my foot. I hadn't been able to do any exercising, including walking for almost 3 years. Dr. Hatic worked a miracle as far as I am concerned. It has only been a little over 6 months and I am back to 4 exercise classes a week. I feel so much better to be able to have a life again. I am so grateful.

Another review described him as arrogant. They are correct. Dr. Hatic II seemed obsessed with disputing the notes from the Urgent Care doctor. He said to immediately practice a hard standing stretch of my ankle to stretch the muscle. For me, this agitated my ankle, prevented the healing process. Other specialists confirmed I should have been letting my ankle recover before even attempting to walk. This suggestion was frivolous and detrimental to my specific care. During the five follow-ups, he gave several incredibly specific diagnoses that were disproven with the following MRI and CAT SCAN. Each session had significantly long wait times. My final follow-up visit, he forcefully twisted my swollen ankle hard without any warning. The pain was immense, akin to shaking a broken bone. This agitation left me limping out afterwards. I can only assume it was to see my reaction, as during the same session he plainly accused me of trying to seek/abuse pain medication. What an arrogant person.

Unbelievably bad experience! DISREGARD MY PREVIOUS GOOD REVIEW. I will never recommend Dr. Hatic to anyone after my second appointment with him. He was extremely disrespectful and upset that I sought another opinion after his initial diagnosis and recommended treatment didn’t seem to be correct. My pain had worsened and his office refused to let me come back before my scheduled 6-week follow-up, so I scheduled an interim appointment elsewhere. When I finally got back in to see Dr. Hatic, he was highly annoyed that I had gone to another Dr. He was beyond RUDE. I’ve never been treated so poorly by anyone, but especially a medical professional, in 50+ yrs. STAY AWAY. His office clearly doesn’t care about their patients.

Dr. Hatic is an amazing doctor, the best ortho I've seen in 15 years!! He listened to the issue I am having with my foot; examined it thoroughly and gave instructions for a physical therapy regimen I can do at home. I did not feel rushed at all. I have already started recommending him to family members who have problems with their feet and knees

ALWAYS read the reviews first and follow your gut.

Dr. Hatic removed a piece of foreign matter out of my mother's foot this morning. Very kind and considerate Dr. Answered all questions asked. Very thorough Dr. If you have anything wrong with your feet and ankles orthopedically, this is the Dr. You want!!!!

He did surgery on my son's ankle. He took his time to explain everything that occurred and what steps were going to be taken to both me and my son. Wonderful and compassionate doctor.

Dr. Hatic is a very skilled, talented, innovative surgeon who is thorough in his examination and explanation of all possibilities of potential surgery. His technical skills, bedside manner, and follow up care cannot be matched. He is an excellent choice for someone who has had former ankle replacements that have deteriorated over time.

Dr Hatic is amazing. He did an ankle replacement on me 2 years ago & I am so thankful for the skills this man has. He’s a great surgeon!

I highly recommend Dr Hatik. I had ORIF surgery and I have no residual pain one year after the surgery. The recovery after surgery consists of not being weight bearing for six weeks. This sounds a little extreme; but if you follow what he says, you will have a good outcome also.
