It’s a good thing she settled here with her family, not just for her sake and interest in enjoying all of the above but for her patients’ too! Just ask, and they’ll tell you how happy they are to have her as a part of the VPFW family.

“I have been going to VPFW with Dr. Hartle for years and I couldn’t imagine a better experience. From the friendly office staff to the “stirrup-side” manner of Dr. Hartle they really do make this as enjoyable as possible. Dr. Hartle is so thorough in her explanation of things whether it is a test or other options. I look forward to staying with VPFW and Dr. Hartle for many years to come!” – Chelsea G.
