David Hartman, MD, FACS
More than a decade in New York City and Los Angeles found David acting in commercials, film, and daytime television, earning his membership in the Screen Actors Guild. During that time, he also designed and built exquisite furniture collections for top producers, directors, and actors in Hollywood.
These artistic experiences honed David’s ability to work with his hands and developed his eye for beauty, proportion, and detail.
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.
