I’m nearly 70 and I’ve never had a doctor as rude and utterly unhelpful as this one. He acted like there was something wrong with me for being there. He was antagonistic and hostile from the start. He interrupted almost immediately every time I started to speak. After I described my symptoms, he said something like “Well that would be the most atypical presentation ever,” and then stared accusingly at me. When I said the results of two injections I'd had were inconclusive, he said that was “wishy-washy.” I don’t know what he meant; I just described how the results were unclear. He mocked me for wearing shoes (sandals) that I chose because they would be easy to get off and on in the foot doctor’s office, where you have to take your shoes off and put them back on. As I was trying to absorb all he’d said, and to figure out what to ask that might clarify things, he got up and immediately left the room without saying a single word. It’s the most bizarre medical appointment I’ve ever had.
Dr. Hatic is always calm and gentle. He is kind and expresses concern for my comfort. I have complete confidence in Dr. Hatic’s skills and care that he provides me. Thank you.
I would highly recommend Dr. Hatic. He is personable, detailed, and takes time to explain all images and reports.
Excellent doctor. Great bedside manner.
Very thorough, professional, nice, punctual, great team.
I maintain a high degree of confidence in Dr. Hatic’s training and ability to help me manage my health issue. To date, he has helped me overcome much discomfort where other Miami Valley Orthopedic surgeon’s have let me down.
