Following his father’s terminal battle with cancer, David turned to the medical field as he was inspired by the empathy he saw modeled by his father’s medical team. He earned his doctor of medicine degree from Drexel University in Philadelphia, PA, graduating from the medical honor society Alpha Omega Alpha and magna cum laude. He then completed his residency training in Manhattan at the New York Eye & Ear Infirmary, one of the premier facial plastic training programs in America.

Dr. Hartman is certified by both the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, and the American Board of Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery. He is a fellow of the American College of Surgeons (FACS), and his other professional memberships include the American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery and the American Medical Association.

When he is not practicing medicine, Dr. Hartman enjoys spending time with his wife, Melissa, and two children, Lucy and Jonas. David’s hobbies include working on their small farm of orchard trees, fish pond, and hiking trails. Four dogs, a cat, “Gus” the goat, and a miniature horse named “Farmer” keep things lively. He also enjoys performing in comedy skits at his church, furniture making, and restoring old oil paintings. His office is a gallery of his painting restorations – here is some of his work.
