Dr. Hathaway and his team are amazing. I am thankful he was there when I needed him. The only reason I wouldn't want to see him again is because it would mean me or my family needed surgery. But there is no doubt he would be exactly who we will go to if we need anything else done. I told my husband to spread the word. On this earth he is the man you want to be in the care of should you need surgery! We are telling anyone who will listen what a GREAT surgeon Dr Hathaway is!! We appreciate him very much!

Very Happy with Pre & Post Op Care! Very Happy with My Surgeon & The Outcome! Not Happy with The Time it Took (2 Days) to get the Post Op Attention of Dr Hathaway OR One of His Associates via Phone Re Unexpected Abd Bloating & Gas Pain & Re Additional Pain Med. Dr Hathaway had only given me 12 low dose Pain Pills Post Op. It seems as though Pre Operatively a Surgeons Office is Much Obliged to Help BUT It's Actually Post Op When a Patient Desperately Needs Access to Their Dr for Answers & For Solutions.

Dr. Gary Hathaway is very patient. He listens. He explains everything thoroughly. His office mannerisms are just top-notch. No matter what profession he was in or would be in, he would be successful just by his mannerisms. And I felt calm and relaxed from day one, and the trust factor was there. And I am so glad that he was my attending physician for the surgery and all follow-up care. So if I ever had to have any type of surgical procedure going forward, I would certainly go out of my way to locate him for any endeavors, anything like that. But he's a gem. He's the best at what he does. I really appreciate him.
