Dr Hathaway is the best!!

October 10, 2026

Even at my advanced age, Dr. Hathaway is one of the best medical professionals I've encountered. He answered all my questions, did a thorough examination, and explained the procedure professionally in a way i understood.

Dr Hathaway is very attentive, considerate, informative, and has an awesome bedside manner. I'm absolutely thrilled to have him as my doctor/surgeon.

September 26, 2026

Yes, Dr. Hathaway was an excellent doctor. He took good care of my husband. He explained everything and his bedside manner is just on real. He's great. Thank you.

September 20, 2026

There is no documentation in MyChart about the visit. Dr. Did not get prescription into pharmacy, had to call and ask for it to be done. Unable to start the meds the day I saw the doctor because of this delay.

Dr. Hathaway and his team are incredibly responsive and thorough. I felt in good hands.

August 23, 2026

5

While it sounds crazy, Dr. Hathaway was good natured, which for me, is huge. It makes me feel more comfortable. He explained it all way more than I personally needed, but I'm sure others want that so I'm not complaining. The best thing about the interaction, he had a sense of humor, it made him feel more like a human to me, made me feel more like a human instead of a 'patient.' I've seen 5 doctors in the past 2 months not one has smiled besides Dr.Hathaway. That alone is remarkable to me. Also I hope i spelt his name correctly.

Hi, waiting an hour before I was seen was a little bit long, but the doctor was incredible. I think he's a very knowledgeable, professional, upbeat positive guy. I also believe that his explanation of everything was very detailed and he demands and is awarded a lot of respect and confidence.

There is no documentation in MyChart about the visit. Dr. Did not get prescription into pharmacy, had to call and ask for it to be done. Unable to start the meds the day I saw the doctor because of this delay.
