My first visit with Mary. Have always seen Dr Bhat since 2011 with one exception. She was very pleasant, had done her research on my past history and current issue. Answered my questions/concerns. Asked me good questions. Spent probably more time than normally allotted, etc. Definitely cared about me and my situation. I’ve seen improvement since our visit with medication change she made. Scheduled to see her again in 3 months. Had heard very good things about her prior to our visit from several other folks who see her. They were right.

This was my first visit with Mary Hackbarth, ARNP, and I left feeling both seen and supported. She met me exactly where I am—physically, emotionally, and medically. Her communication was clear, thoughtful, and affirming. She asked detailed questions with genuine curiosity, never judgment. I felt safe being fully honest with her, which is not always easy for patients navigating chronic health concerns.
