Not recommended. Locals call her 'Doctor Heartless'. If you're not 100% compliant (i.e. you have a toothache that makes you a little jumpy, or if you have a gag reflex of any kind), she stops the appointment and tells you that she can't help you. She leans the chairs back farther than any other dentist I've ever been to (I've worked with several), and if you don't like it, you're invited never to return.
If the x-rays do not turn out 100% perfect on the first try, she has her assistants continue to retake them until they are. This often means 4 or 5 films of the same tooth, which means you're getting MUCH more radiation than is recommended. She instructs her employees to lie and tell patients that they're getting "about a hundredth of the radiation used in the old process, so it's okay" -- even though that's an outright lie (it's actually 1/2 the dose of radiation, but if she's taking 4 or 5 films, that means it's a lot more).
If you're not already a patient in good standing, she won't schedule you for an emergency appointment within a couple days, even if they has openings. I think it's a way to punish people who don't have regular exams.
She requires same-day payments, and if she thinks you look poor or come in for an emergency visit, she asks for payment in advance, before the appointment begins. She never offers financing or assistance -- if you can't pay, she won't help you.
How do I know all of this? I used to work for her. Worst dental office I've ever worked for.

Dr. Hartman's office has been nothing but problems. Little ones, like getting 3 reminder calls (a week, a day, and 15 minutes before the appointment) and ALWAYS having to pay twice because they charge more than my insurance thinks
is fair (so I have to go back and cover the difference), and big ones like coming in with one simple cavity and not being able to get it fixed. When I went in she found 3 other things she said would be a problem "some day", had me make 2 appointments. At the first one she fixed the OTHER things, not the tooth that actually hurt. She tried to fix it at the 2nd appt, but left a bump that needed another visit to grind down, and the same tooth is really starting to hurt again after less than a year (and I just had a regular checkup). Time to find a new dentist.
