My wife and I have been patients of Dr. Hartman since 2018. He is, by far, one of the most thorough and thoughtful physicians I have ever experienced. His willingness to dig down to identify and treat the causes of our issues is greatly appreciated. He routinely thinks out of the box, and explores alternative therapies to treat what ails us. What we also appreciate is his willingness to take time with us and not rush through our appointments. Our health has improved significantly since we have joined his practice. I have met with Dr. Jodi his nurse practitioner, several times. She is friendly and thorough. All of his staff make us feel welcome every time we are there. It is wonderful to have a physician and staff that we trust completely!

Excellent care. RIFM strives to treat the cause rather than address the symptoms.

Dr. Hartman has helped me and my family for several years. He is a great integrative and functional medicine doctor, and has a wealth of knowledge on how to address chronic health conditions. I highly recommend Dr. Hartman.

If you have an inflammatory, autoimmune or post viral illness, this is the place to go. The complexity of these “mystery” illnesses requires time that normal doctors are’t going to take. Nor are they trained to do so. With proper testing, they will discover what is triggering your illness and then treat it. It’s going to take time to heal and they are right there with you all of the way. All of the staff are friendly and knowledgable. Its a different kind of healthcare and yes, its worth the cost.

Having been in the medical field coming up on 3 decades, I unfortunately found myself on the other side of the fence. After almost 2 years of being sick, going from one specialist to another, and no one could tell me why. My health continued to decline, until I came to see Dr. Hartman. He has this gift, an amazing ability to put all the pieces together and connect all the dots. I am grateful that he has chosen to share his gift in such a way that others can benefit from it. Not only did he figure out what was wrong, but is treating it and helping to restore me back as much as possible to where i was before I got sick. Once you seek this level of care, you will never look back. Thank you so much Dr. Hartman, I am forever grateful to you and your wonderful staff!
