Dr. Hyman lacks empathy for his patients pain/lacks medical knowledge and his office staff is rude. Dr. Hyman lacks empathy which is fundamental for effective communication and efficient treatment. He only relies on diagnostic imaging and has no consideration for the patients input regarding their conditions. In my opinion he is a subpar healthcare professional because he diminishes the patient input during office visits and only basis his medical opinions on technology and imaging. During office visit he is always pushed for quicker consultations by his medical assistants, all in all his clinical empathy is dwarfed by his need for efficiency to move on to the next patient. The fact that Dr. Hyman doesn't even follow through on his own medical findings and objective medical opinions, as he communicates them with his patients, I would definitely not recommend him to others. He is blatantly negligent of his patient conditions, he does not properly explain what is wrong and how to proceed forward and does not layout a clear plan for treatment, he regularly during office visits he sits there dictating/typing into a machine or his computer during the medical appointment, without first talking to the patient about their medical issue and in my case always expected me to continually remind him of my treatment history while under his care. As a result of his negligence, after being under his medical care for years, now that I have moved my treatment over to another medical professional at another medical facility, I have now finally been diagnosed with conditions that way the underlying reason for my pain and am now being treated for problems and my pain which I had regularly been reporting to Dr. Hyman, which he chose to ignore as he could not diagnose them due to an obvious lack of knowledge in his area of medical expertise as a Physiatrist. The above coupled with the fact that his office manager Laura Cassidy is very rude, yells at the office staff and even patients in the reception area. Consider this review a fair warning from a patient, do not be fooled by his smiling face and the good reviews online, and what looks like a professional outlook of this facility. Stay away from Dr. Garrett Hyman and find yourself a better physician.

Dr Hyman smiles yet he doesn't seem to listen. I would NOTrecommend him to anyone. He smiles most of the time, he and his staff are friendly but again, I would not recommend him.

Dr. Hyman found a cause behind my debilitating pain after 3 other doctors turned me away. I am very grateful for his compassion and willingness to help me. For the first time in the last 5 years I have had hope. My condition is rare but he researched the protocols that many use to treat this condition and will refer me to the appropriate specialists as needed. He has a very thorough in is approach and I feel like no stone is going to be unturned. I am looking forward to the quality of life that I can have after my pain gets under control! Thank you, Dr. Hyman

I've seen Dr Hyman b/w 2007 and 2011. He is friendly, greets me with a smile, looks me in the eye, etc, but is very rushed and doesn't have time to discuss my concerns. To signal the end of the appt, he shuttles me into the reception area and we continue discussing my case in front other people (NOT COOL). He doesn't have time to discuss all off my tests/scans which is why we end up continuing the conversation in reception. One time he took several phone calls during my appt. Lately I've been reading up on my condition(s), and I've realized that I am very poorly informed. As far as Dr Hyman's knowledge...I'm in my third round of physical therapy (the first 2 made me worse) and he seems to think that the recent and near constant numbness in my foot is not in-of-itself a reason to have surgery, although he has referred me to a surgeon just in case. Also, I tend play an annoying phone message tag when trying to make an appt.

I saw Dr Hyman for neck and shoulder pain, and I was very pleased with the treatment and results. He listened to my all my concerns, answered my questions, and seems very knowledgeable. The pain has completely gone away.
