Only that I never saw my Dr in person before I had surgery or after surgery. It gives u a sense of security but I do understand he is extremely busy. The nurse that was with me was excellent and the Dr did an excellent procedure .

I was well taking care of !! I'm thankful for the support and encouragement to go through this process!
August 21, 2025
The doctor needs to work on his bedside manners to the patients, the whole time he seemed annoyed by the questions I had and it made me feel like he did not care at all for me. Looked like he didn't want to be there at all and like he was doing me a favor just by being there. I would not recommend Dr. Haggerty or be seeing him again.

Dr Haggerty operated on my hernia several months ago. I developed groin pain several days ago and my PCP wanted me to see Dr. Haggety to make sure it was not related to my hernia.dr. Haggerty saw me the SAME DAY to reassuree me it was unrelated. He is very caring and I would recommend him to any one!He also gave me a name of a pain specialist and had his nurse follow through.To me, that is a doctor that has gone far beyond what he neede to do. I am deeply appreciative.

Dr. Steven H is god sent! I had been waiting for over three weeks about information on my tests, a surgery date and a follow up. When I scheduled a visit with Dr. Steven H he was willing to see me as soon as I needed. Looked over my file, explained my charts, what happened. What I needed. And was even willing to become my surgeon. He had such a great bedside manner a great attitude and willing to educate his new patients. I am so grateful to have met Dr. Steven H.
