Mary Elizabeth Hartnett, MD, holds the Calvin S. and JeNeal N. Hatch Presidential Endowed Chair in Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences and is a Distinguished Professor at the University of Utah. She is an adjunct professor at the University of Utah departments of Neurobiology, Anatomy, and Pediatrics. Dr. Hartnett is the founder and director of Pediatric Retina at the John A. Moran Eye Center and principal investigator of the Retinal Angiogenesis Laboratory.

As director of Moran's Pediatric Retina Center, Dr. Hartnett is one of a few pediatric retina specialists internationally trained to diagnose and treat pediatric retina disorders, which disrupt the healthy development of the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye. There are dozens of conditions that cause retinal blindness in infants and children, but most are rare. She is one of only a handful of pediatric retina specialists in the United States offering complete care for these challenging conditions. She also practices as a vitreoretinal surgeon, providing treatment to patients throughout the Mountain West. She performs surgery at both the Moran Eye Center and Primary Children's Hospital.

Her mission is to deliver the best possible care and education while conducting critical research to make future advances in pediatric retina care.

She created the first-ever academic textbook on the subject, Pediatric Retina, currently in the second edition, which has proven to be an invaluable resource for residents and ophthalmologists internationally. She is a director of the Advances in Pediatric Retina meeting held every two years, most recently in 2019 at the University of Utah, serving to provide training in established and new methods to manage pediatric retinal conditions and to incite collaborations in research in pediatric retina.

Dr. Hartnett has received numerous awards, including the Physician-Scientist Merit Award from Research to Prevent Blindness; the Honorary Lecture Award and Scientific Contribution Award from Women in Ophthalmology; the Macula Society's Paul Henkind Award and Arnall Patz Medal; the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology's (ARVO) Weisenfeld Award; and the Paul Kayser/RRF Global Award. She is an ARVO Gold Fellow.

Dr. Hartnett's prolific publication record includes more than 200 articles in peer-reviewed journals and 36 book chapters. She has delivered numerous national and international invited lectures. Her long list of professional committee work includes serving as chair of the Publications Committee of ARVO, and as a mentor for the ARVO Leadership Development Program. She reviews manuscripts for more than 20 eye and science journals and serves on the editorial boards of PlosOne, Molecular Vision, and the Journal of the American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus. Dr. Hartnett is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons (FACS) and a Silver and Gold Fellow of Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (FARVO).

She received her BS-MD from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and Albany Medical College, as part of a six-year biomedical program, and performed retinal fellowships in adult and pediatric retina at Schepens Retina Associates. Dr. Hartnett completed post-doctoral training at Harvard University/Schepens Eye Research Institute in retinal cell and molecular biology in the laboratory of Patricia D'Amore and then in GTPases and molecular cell biology at the University of North Carolina with Keith Burridge. She has served as Retinal Director for the residencies at State University of New York at Buffalo and Louisiana State University.

Dr. Hartnett is incredible. She has a terrific bedside manner and really cares about [NAME REMOVED]. She spent a few minutes reviewing previous procedures and talking about the planned surgery. She then followed up after anesthesia was administered to notify us of the surgical item necessary for [NAME REMOVED] healing. We were involved 100% of the time.

Dr. Hartnett is monitoring an ongoing condition with my left retina. She clearly explains her observations regarding progression, and next steps (continue to monitor, possible surgery). She takes time to answer questions and answers clearly and completely.

This was the first time in a long period of time that I actually meant with my primary care doctor and it was quite helpful. Normally she reviews photos taken and makes the decision for when a needed appointment needs to take place but this time she went over my pictures and explained what was taking place with my eyes. It was a nice experience.

I think Dr Harnett is great. She is thorough and straightforward. I read other bad reviews about bedside behavior before our visit and both times we've seen her, she has been kind, patient and straightforward. I think the ones who wrote those reviews were probably sensitive. She is great and I will continue to have my son see her.

Dr Hartnet was caring and very concerned about the macular hole. She was very thorough about what needed to be done to repair it. She listened as I discussed my negative experinces with my last surgery with another care provider. She didn't disparage the other provider, but she was firm in what she felt was the correct and ost successful way to handle the surgery and aftercare.

Dr Hartnett is a fabulous, caring, highly skilled doctor which is the reason I sought her out. She is overbooked and unable to give the attention she needs to each patient. We were never seen by her again after an additional test she requested to answer our questions. We left frustrated and highly disappointed after waiting almost two months to have an appointment.

UofU Patient June 30, 2018

she is one of the best docs ever. she always explains everything to me. she is very skilled and I have total confidence in her

UofU Patient June 26, 2018

Dr. Hartnett was very personable with my son during his visit. She was very thorough at explaining information and procedures. She was great to work with!

UofU Patient June 22, 2018

I felt like she answered my specific questions briefly, but wasn't thorough with any explanation on this disease beyond my questions and stood next to the door, holding the handle as if she was in a hurry to get on to the next patient.

UofU Patient May 14, 2018

Dr Hartnett showed great concern and caution in analyzing and exploring a side effect of my condition. She brought in additional resources to assess it and explored alternative solutions.

UofU Patient April 30, 2018

Dr. Hartnett has always been extremely friendly and courteous. She explains everything very well and we have always been impressed with her care for our son ______.

UofU Patient March 20, 2018

The PA that saw us first was very kind and patient with my two-year-old which I sincerely appreciate and was very impressed. Anyone with children know that toddlers do not have a long attention span or hold still. I wish I could remember this gentleman's name, but I can't. (He has red hair :0) I would give him high ratings as he worked very well with my young patient and was genuine and sincere. Our experience with the doctor was different. Although she was courteous, she was less than patient with my two-year-old. I recognize that the majority of patients are probably not that young, but still...After a toddler has been waiting for sometime while eyes are dilated and already having been seen by the PA, it would be difficult for a toddler to focus and hold still. Her lack of patience was evident. I felt the doctor's time was short and impersonal. I was expected to know everything about my child's condition already and my questions/concerns about upcoming procedures were not fully addressed. Our last visit was six months prior. I can't say that I remember or even know all those medical terms. More time spent in explaining my child's situation would have been helpful. More patience and understanding towards young patients would have made our experience a more positive one.

UofU Patient March 10, 2018

she was very busy. she offered for us to Saturday after clinic to answer any questions. we chose not to. she was upfront and honest

UofU Patient March 04, 2018

I feel like this app was an outlier however I am not happy with the visit, wait time and not being informed.

UofU Patient February 17, 2018

Patients at Moran are most fortunate to be under the care of Dr. Hartnett and her staff.

UofU Patient January 26, 2018

You are superstars in my opinion!

UofU Patient January 18, 2018

This is our second visit with Dr. Hartnet, our first appt went very well. At this appt she was extremely short with her MA and when giving instructions to my child. The whole appt was very uncomfortable and she seemed very unprofessional.

UofU Patient January 17, 2018

After waiting with our 4 month old and 3 year old for 1.5 hours, we were finally seen. We were placed into the procedure room, which seemed more like a storage room with old Starbucks beverages in the room. After the exam, it seemed as though there was no need for us to be in that room (maybe our children were being too loud)? The doctor came in and looked over the referral from the pediatric opthomologist that we saw in Rexburg, ID. The doctor then examined our daughter's eyes and did seem to get a good look at them. After that, she proceeded to type on her computer for approximately 2-3 minutes without saying a word or prompting us with any information as to why. She then diagnosed our daughter with a bilateral coloboma, which we were already aware of from the previous opthomologist we saw. After that, the disorganization and floodgates of information started flowing. I felt as though information was provided in spurts and I had to piece things together to try to understand. I felt as though I was being talked over and not provided with information that I understood. I also felt as though I was being provided with all the clinical research about this issue, and nothing personalized to my daughter. It would've been nice to be asked a question like "What do you see at home?" I am confident that the provider made all the necessary referrals and I am happy that the rest of the Moran Eye Center staff figured the rest out for us. Dr. Ricks stepped in and gave us great assistance

UofU Patient December 11, 2017

We will always come here now. we have already told our friends and family.

UofU Patient December 10, 2017

Dr. Hartnett is extremely compassionate and professional. greeting with a handshake is really nice. she always listens attentively and with genuine concern. I had to wait an hour to see her, but I guess that's okay because I truly value her expertise.

UofU Patient December 05, 2017

The doctor seemed insensitive, clumsy, and hurried.

UofU Patient November 09, 2017

it was a pleasure being there

UofU Patient November 05, 2017

Dr. Hartnett is superb.

UofU Patient October 23, 2017

Both the doctor and her assistant took the time to make sure that my concerns were addressed and I was put at ease over them.

UofU Patient September 29, 2017

I would recommend Moran as well as Dr. Hartnett to anyone and everyone.

UofU Patient August 09, 2017

All excellent.

UofU Patient July 24, 2017

I appreciate the openness and honesty of Dr. Hartnett and her expertise. She ultimately gave us the decision on how to proceed but we trust her expert opinion and feel comfortable following her recommendations.

UofU Patient July 15, 2017

Doctor Hartnett is wonderful. Before she came in, another doctor with a student named Juliann (I think?) examined my eye and drew Juliann's attention to things she should notice about my eye. The light was bright -- in fact, quite painfully bright. It further reminded me of how wonderful Doctor Hartnett is. She seems to dial back the intensity of the examination light to where I'm really not in much pain at all. (Same with Doctor Churgin). She really is wonderful and I'm so glad that she is in charge of treating my detached retinal condition.

UofU Patient June 28, 2017

Due to the urgency of my injury, the providers spent a good deal of time making sure they got a good diagnosis and making sure I understood all of the steps toward recovery.

UofU Patient June 25, 2017

I did not feel rushed. Dr. Hartnett is most professional and very compassiionate.

UofU Patient June 15, 2017

We love Dr. Hartnett and Dr. Churgin (Churkin?)No medications after this visit.

UofU Patient June 15, 2017

On Saturday, Dr., uh, Wellington, I think? Anyway, he was super nice and I think he answered all of _________'s (my wife) questions to her satisfaction.Also, before the surgery, I was still holding out hope that my eye was responding well enough to the earlier cryogenic treatment (I'm self pay, and was hoping to minimize costs). Dr. Hartnett was so sweet and had Dr. Churgin (Spelling?) take one last evaluation before doing the surgery. I really appreciated her doing that.

UofU Patient June 06, 2017

the doctor did not speak with me after my surgery my husband contacted the doctor and asked several questions as to my aftercare and what he was supposed to do to get the adhesive off of my eyes so I could open my eyelids. We did not know that we had a appointment the next day the doctor informed my husband of this appointment on the phone.

UofU Patient June 04, 2017

I felt secure in the decision to delay my diagnosis for 6 weeks because they took the time to explain this decision until I understood it. They understood I was very tired, my eyes were hurting and tired, but they were very patient with me. I appreciated this more than I can say.

UofU Patient May 04, 2017

Dr Hartnett is excellent, you feel confident you are in good hands and she is also very calming

UofU Patient March 19, 2017

UofU Patient February 09, 2017

I like Dr. Hartnett very much. I think she is extremely capable.

UofU Patient December 27, 2016

We assumed that the doctor meant for us to continue with the eyedrops that our son was taking, but she didn't say so. We remembered to ask on our way out and had a surprisingly hard time getting an answer. From there began a saga that took several days to resolve (a prescription finally called in but for a different drug and with no explanation, etc.). A little bit of communication could have saved a lot of frustration.

UofU Patient December 23, 2016

you are always recomanded

UofU Patient October 28, 2016

UofU Patient October 25, 2016

I had a very bad experience with medical care 23 yrs ago when I lived in San Diego,Ca. I told myself I would never have any kind of surgery again unless my life depended on it. You folks are fantastic, from the receptionist to Dr Hartnett, everyone was truly wonderful and you changed my attitude towards medical providers, THANK YOU !

Just want to have this problem that seems to have stumped the doctors here at Moran. I wish they would reach out to other specialists perhaps at other great care Facilities for specific eye problems similar and perhaps other treatment options. I would be willing to travel anywhere to find some answers As to if my issue is permanent or a reasonable treatment available

UofU Patient February 25, 2016

Excellent experience

UofU Patient January 26, 2016

She's one of the best, most careful and most competent MD's I've ever known. She truly cares about her patients! Thank you Dr. Hartnett!

UofU Patient January 22, 2016

After waiting 55 minutes in the waiting room, and another 15 in the exam room before we were seen, it was EXTREMELY frustrating and disheartening that we were told she only had a couple minutes before she had to run off to some other appointment that was obviously much more important than we were. We understand that things get behind, but the lack of respect that we were shown, the interest in answering our questions, and making sure we felt comfortable with what was happening, and what was to happen until the next appointment was awful!! Our time is just as important; and to be discarded like we felt we were is simply unacceptable!

UofU Patient November 09, 2015

Dr. Hartnett always treats me courteously and answers questions. I was pleasantly surprised by her resident Dr. James (W?) who loved his work and was GREAT about providing information. I'm sorry I can't quite remember his last name.

UofU Patient July 26, 2015

Dr. Hartnett is conscientious, concerned, caring, and I have full trust in her surgical skills, judgement, and expertise.

UofU Patient July 26, 2015

Dr. Hartnett did speak over my head frequently, I had to use my daughter who is my caregiver and nurse to translate everything for me later on. Though Dr. Hartnett did address all of my concerns I did feel that she was rushing through to move on to her next patient.

UofU Patient July 16, 2015

Both Dr Teske and Dr. Hartnett have been thorough and knowledgeable in my care of my two conditions. The system failure occurred through the failure of your phone system in forwarding my two calls to the on call physician when I experienced encroaching blindness of my left eye visual field.

UofU Patient July 01, 2015

Dr, Hartnett spent a good amount of time explaining what was going on within my eye. I felt very reassured about the treatment. I felt she knew exactly what she was talking about and this put me at ease.

UofU Patient July 01, 2015

Dr. Hartnett was absolutely amazing. She explained everything to me in laymen's terms and made sure I understand what needed to happen. Her manner was kind, confident and I felt she was personally concerned with what was happening to me.

UofU Patient May 25, 2015

Dr. Hartnett was not able to answer some of my questions during my first appointment, so this time I brought a list. She is a very capable, kind human being, who was actually pleased that I brought a list of questions. She explained my issues very well. I would recommend her highly as a physician, and yet I am frustrated by the wait time I have experienced at Moran/University of Utah hospital. Yes, I want patients ahead of me to receive good health care also, and I want their issues to be resolved. At the same time, my visit is not enhanced by waiting in a stuffy dark room wondering what is going on. I think the U needs to seriously evaluate this scheduling problem.

UofU Patient April 13, 2015

I like Mary Hartnett and have faith in her.

UofU Patient February 09, 2015

Just a great facility and staff.

As stated before it would be nice to get an update from the doctor on how she felt my eyes was responding to the treatment.

UofU Patient May 25, 2014

I was very impressed with doctors I saw, made a frightening experience not bad at all.

Could have been better if physician and fellow examined at same time so I wouldn't have to have discomfort of lights twice.

UofU Patient March 17, 2014

Doctor Hartnet is very professional and caring with patients--she includes me in decisions--I credit her with saving my sight in my right eye---she is an excellent physican----

UofU Patient February 12, 2014

The care that I receive from Dr Hartnett is very good and she explains things well. However the assistant that dilated my eyes when they should not have been was not good at all.

UofU Patient December 22, 2013

Dr. Hartnet was always very caring, engaged and helpful. A couple of her assistants/fellows (?) were less so and maybe even a little rough during exam of retinal tear (however, that may have been absolutely necessary. Dr. Hartnet was more gentle in her approach).

UofU Patient November 28, 2013

I am usually seen by Dr. Hobbs and then by Dr. Hartnett. Both are very professional, and have done a wonderful job with my complicated case.

UofU Patient November 18, 2013

Excellent.

UofU Patient November 18, 2013

We would recommend Dr. Hartnett but the wait time was excessive. Also we were sent out to the reception waiting room and then called back into an exam room to schedule a procedure. We had to wait again for the person scheduling the procedure. It just seemed like the flow of how things ran there needed some work.

UofU Patient November 11, 2013

Dr. B was awesome. He was straight forward explaining the situation to me abt what was happening and might happen with my retina. Too bad he couldn't/didn't need to stay longer and visit. I like him.

UofU Patient October 21, 2013

I never saw the physician, just her fellow.

UofU Patient October 14, 2013

I am always thankful for specialists. They have worked hard for their knowledge.

UofU Patient October 07, 2013

Dr. Hartnett is clearly a consummate professional who is willing to explain and discuss my condition and the possible need for further treatment.

UofU Patient October 07, 2013

Dr. Hartnett has been fantastic. She has done everything possible to deal with my difficult case with the best possible outcome.

UofU Patient September 09, 2013

I have a problem with hearing when I can't see. Another thing I have a problem with is that by the time they actual DR comes in I am so dilated that I can't see the Dr.'s face. I don't know what she looks like.

UofU Patient September 09, 2013

We drive 4 hours in order to see Dr. Lenahan, she is incredible to work with. I wouldn't want to see another provider even if they were "in-network"!

UofU Patient September 02, 2013

okay. Primary Doctors time with us was limited

UofU Patient August 08, 2013

Good

UofU Patient July 15, 2013

I think there is a disconnect between me and the care provider. The care provider seems to be focusing her attention on my good eye where I really am still concerned with my bad eye. I could really use some help in knowing what I can do to minimize the symptoms or resolve the problem. I feel lost. I cannot describe the difficulties i've had in trying to cope with this and yet I feel like i'm left on my own to try and figure it out.

UofU Patient June 05, 2013

I was unable to see the doctor - my contact lenses were out. But he was terrific. Very competent and patient.

UofU Patient June 04, 2013

thanks to dr harnet my son can see!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

UofU Patient April 01, 2013

everything was excellent except for the LONG wait.

UofU Patient February 26, 2013

I am extremely impressed with the way doctor hartnett, and shokor(spelled wrong) diagnosed my problem. I've never been shown that kind and that much attention to any of my problems ever. Dr. Hartnett even came back after emergency surgery to make sure I was seen and looked at. I really felt like they cared and they wanted to make sure I was diagnosed correctly. My problem I know is a difficult one to diagnose, but I know they will find out what the problem is and help me. I would highly recommend others to go to the Moran eye center.

UofU Patient February 18, 2013

Dr. Hartnet and the other doctor were very nice and thorough

UofU Patient November 12, 2012

dr hartnet is the best pediatric retna specialist. she has a great bedside manner

UofU Patient November 06, 2012

I have a serious retinal condition and these guys/gals knew what they were doing/talking about. Excellent facility.

UofU Patient November 05, 2012

Dr. Hartnett pays such close attention my description of symptoms, and my physical exam is so meticulous. Her analysis of the situation is transparent which I appreciate.

Mary Elizabeth Hartnett, MD, holds the Calvin S. and JeNeal N. Hatch Presidential Endowed Chair in Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences and is a Distinguished Professor at the University of Utah. She is an adjunct professor at the University of Utah departments of Neurobiology, Anatomy, and Pediatrics. Dr. Hartnett is the founder and director of Pediatric Retina at the John A. Moran Eye Center and principal investigator of the Retinal Angiogenesis Laboratory.

As director of Moran's Pediatric Retina Center, Dr. Hartnett is one of a few pediatric retina specialists internationally trained to diagnose and treat pediatric retina disorders, which disrupt the healthy development of the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye. There are dozens of conditions that cause retinal blindness in infants and children, but most are rare. She is one of only a handful of pediatric retina specialists in the United States offering complete care for these challenging conditions. She also practices as a vitreoretinal surgeon, providing treatment to patients throughout the Mountain West. She performs surgery at both the Moran Eye Center and Primary Children's Hospital.

Her mission is to deliver the best possible care and education while conducting critical research to make future advances in pediatric retina care.

She created the first-ever academic textbook on the subject, Pediatric Retina, currently in the second edition, which has proven to be an invaluable resource for residents and ophthalmologists internationally. She is a director of the Advances in Pediatric Retina meeting held every two years, most recently in 2019 at the University of Utah, serving to provide training in established and new methods to manage pediatric retinal conditions and to incite collaborations in research in pediatric retina.

Dr. Hartnett has received numerous awards, including the Physician-Scientist Merit Award from Research to Prevent Blindness; the Honorary Lecture Award and Scientific Contribution Award from Women in Ophthalmology; the Macula Society's Paul Henkind Award and Arnall Patz Medal; the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology's (ARVO) Weisenfeld Award; and the Paul Kayser/RRF Global Award. She is an ARVO Gold Fellow.

Dr. Hartnett's prolific publication record includes more than 200 articles in peer-reviewed journals and 36 book chapters. She has delivered numerous national and international invited lectures. Her long list of professional committee work includes serving as chair of the Publications Committee of ARVO, and as a mentor for the ARVO Leadership Development Program. She reviews manuscripts for more than 20 eye and science journals and serves on the editorial boards of PlosOne, Molecular Vision, and the Journal of the American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus. Dr. Hartnett is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons (FACS) and a Silver and Gold Fellow of Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (FARVO).

She received her BS-MD from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and Albany Medical College, as part of a six-year biomedical program, and performed retinal fellowships in adult and pediatric retina at Schepens Retina Associates. Dr. Hartnett completed post-doctoral training at Harvard University/Schepens Eye Research Institute in retinal cell and molecular biology in the laboratory of Patricia D'Amore and then in GTPases and molecular cell biology at the University of North Carolina with Keith Burridge. She has served as Retinal Director for the residencies at State University of New York at Buffalo and Louisiana State University.
