I totally have confidence in Dr. Hilty. He is the best. Unfortunately, I doubt anyone ever reads the survey results. I did a survey last year when I saw a PA and it was a terrible experience. I NEVER want to see this PA again. He is listed on My Chart as one of my providers! I was so upset with this PA I even considered moving from CONE heart care. However, I didn't want to leave the care of Dr. Hilty.

The care I had during my visit from each of the persons I encountered was most appreciated. The options, risks, benefits, etc. That may transpire with the use of the given medication was explained in detail.

Very short visit so I wouldn't be able to recommend provider based on this one short visit. I agreed with the course of action taken at this time.

Confident in Dr. Hilty
March 12, 2026
We love Dr. Hilty, we tell everyone about him. But that is a good and a bad thing, lol. Everyone loves him so much, it takes awhile to get to see him. (Can you clone him?)
March 11, 2026
As always, Dr. Kenneth Hilty was very good. He cares about my condition and treats me with respect.

Dr. Hilty is awesome. He cares about your health and is easy to talk to and understand.
March 01, 2026
Dr. Hilty is awesome. He provides through information and answers all questions related to your care.
February 15, 2026
Dr Hilty took time to find out about my current health conditions and listened. He suggested we go ahead & schedule an ECHO, making sure we have no other issues with the mitral valve.
January 25, 2026
He was very dismissive, never asked me about my family history and what brought me here. I felt as if I was a number. He kept saying I need to go to a neurologist. I felt he wasn't listening to me. He had his mind made up and that was it. I will not be returning. I was referred to him from the cardiologist.
January 19, 2026
Dr. Hilty is very knowledgeable, caring, and thoughtful. He listens and always has good advice.
January 19, 2026
See my prior comment, but again I found Dr. Hilty extremely knowledgeable and very good at explaining detailed and technical information. He listened and addresses all my concerns and questions and we came up with a plan to treat my cholesterol levels that makes sense to me.
January 14, 2026
I had a great experience with everyone
December 27, 2025
Dr. Hilty seemed a bit rushed this appointment. Not a big deal, but unlike previous visits. We all have off days and perhaps (this being a year after my stent) I had more questions/concerns than usual.
