Led by an ABWM-Certified Wound Specialist Physician (CWSP), our office provides advanced wound management and comprehensive podiatric services — all without the inconvenience of visiting a wound center.
A Grand Rapids native, he received his undergraduate degree from Grand Valley State University, and completed medical school at Midwestern University’s College of Podiatric Medicine in Glendale, AZ. Following medical school, Dr. Hartger completed a residency in podiatric medicine and surgery, with an emphasis on reconstructive rearfoot/ankle surgery, at Beaumont Hospital in Farmington Hills, MI.
Dr. Hartger has extensive experience treating a wide array of conditions of the foot and ankle and has spent his time post-residency in private practice, while also working as a wound care specialist for Trinity Health Wound Care, in Grand Haven, MI.
Outside of the office, you can find Dr. Hartger spending time with his wife, Ashlee, and their two young children. He’s a diehard Tigers fan (even though it’s been hard lately), and enjoys Saturday morning golf, West Michigan craft beer, and honing his culinary skills in the kitchen or behind the grill.
Dr. Hartger believes in a patient-centered approach to medicine. His philosophy is rooted in taking the time to understand a patient’s background and needs, while working alongside them to create a treatment plan tailored to their specific goals. He enjoys every opportunity to build lasting and trusted relationships with patients.
