As a

his
testimony

are
used
to
regulate
Ophthalmologists
within
California,
often
specifically
in
regards
to
refractive
surgery.
At the
federal
level,
Dr.
Hartman
has
aided
in
establishing
national
benchmarks
for
ophthalmic
standard
of
care
as it
pertains
to the
United

Medicare
system.
At the
local
level,
his
leadership
responsibilities
include
being
Chief
of
Staff
and
Chairman

Regional
Medical
Center,
as
well
as a
member
of the

Executive
Committee
at Los
Alamitos
Medical
Center.
Dr.

surgery
and
neuro-ophthalmology
to
other
physicians,
and
actively
proctors
newly
trained
surgeons
at a
number
of
institutions.
A
particular

Dr. Hartman grew up
locally and graduated
from Lakewood High
School. He then attended
the University of
Southern California,
graduating with honors
with a Bachelor of
Science in the
Biological Sciences. In
1982, Dr. Hartman moved
to Chicago, where he
received his Doctor of
Medicine from Chicago
Medical School. A full
Internal Medicine
internship was completed
at UC Irvine in 1987.
Dr. Hartman completed
his residency in
Ophthalmology at UC
Irvine and served as
Chief Resident during
his final year. He
passed the Boards in
Ophthalmology with
honors immediately upon
conclusion of his
residency and accepted a
position on the clinical
staff at UC Irvine.
Married since 1987 to
Elise, Dr. Hartman
enjoys family, friends,
music, athletics and
tropical gardening.
Aside from his gardens,
where he propagates and
grows over 200 species
of palms and cycads and
which have been featured
in Sunset magazine, Dr.
Hartman’s pride and
joy is his daughter,
Shelby. Dr. Hartman is a
long distance runner,
avid tennis player,
scuba diver and
“extreme downhill
skier.” He plays
trombone in a swing band
and a German-American
brass band.
According to Dr. Carl,
“Helping my
patients achieve their
visual and cosmetic
goals in a caring,
friendly environment is
my primary concern. It
gives me great joy when
I hear that a patient
found my practice
through a friend or
family member that was
happy with our care and
service.”
