As our doctor, Dr. Hart took care of me and my wife, Tina, for many years. He was always so kind and caring as both a doctor and a person. We have shed tears upon learning of his passing and extend our prayers to his family and friends. The world was a better place with the kind of compassionate, caring person like him in it.....I know he will be sorely missed by all who knew him.

21 years ago, after being told for 5 years that nothing could be done about my meniere's disease, God brought Dr. Hart into my life. He assured me that he could perform a surgery on my balance nerves so I could continue to live a normal life. Dec 24, 1998, Dr. Hart performed that 7 hour surgery, and I haven't had a dizzy spell since. Sad that he has left this earth without being able to enjoy retirement, but thankful that he deeply cared for each and all of his patients. RIP Dr. Hart.

Thank you Dr. Hart for going above and beyond taking such wonderful care of our twins, especially Nicole. You truly cared for our girls like they were your own kiddos. We enjoyed his stories of his family, trips, the phone calls to follow up and his love of music for more than 20 years. You will be greatly missed. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. ❤

My thoughts and prayers go to Dr. Hart's family and co-workers. Dr. Hart and others performed an over 12 hour surgery on me in 1998 and recently performed surgery on my 90 year old mother. Thank you for saving our lives and being such a kind and caring Dr. You will always be remembered in our family.

You will truly be missed! You were a pleasure to work with in the Operating Room and it was always evident how much you cared about your patients. -Karin H.

When we first met Dr Hart I had no idea how much this man would change our lives. He put peronalization and compassion back into medicine. He performed a very complicated, difficult procedure on my son and afterwards followed us through every second of recovery, even showing up to his office on a Sunday afternoon! Dr Hart help make you comfortable by short snippets his life story and memories, he had a heck of a good take on life and events. This man truely cared not only about his patients but the family too. My deepest sympathy goes out to his family on the loss of this wonderful man!

Mike and all of his family members have my prayers and sympathy. He was a great cousin and, as others have said, a devoted father and dedicated doctor. He will be deeply missed.

Dr. Hart was the most considerate Dr around. He would do anything to make your life easier. He totally enjoyed his kids and would do anything to help them. He paid for their colleges and living expenses while in college. AS a doctor he was the greatest there was. He was an excellent person overall. he will be greatly missed by all that knew him.

he was the best ENT ever with a very generous and kind heart. He worked only for his patient and would keep in contact with them at all times. He was a great doctor to work for and was extremely family orientated - dearly loved his kids.
