Biography
In "Stewie Loves Lois", he gives Peter Griffin a prostate exam. Peter mistakes the exam as rape, sues him, and the ensuing court case strips him of his license. Peter's victory becomes bittersweet afterwards, when frequent urination turns into a cancer scare. He asks Hartman to check him out, and turns out Peter is fine. Hartman's medical license is reinstated at the end of the episode.
In "New Kidney in Town", he gets a shoutout from Peter when Peter was a contestant on The Price is Right. He also returns from vacation in Cancun with a tan. Dr. Hartman comments about creating a man-sized hostile chicken but this is glossed-over during Peter's concern about getting a kidney transplant. He becomes Peter's kidney donor. He also attends the James Woods Regional High School essay contest assembly.
He is an alcoholic, participating in Alcoholics Anonymous meetings Peter attends in "Friends of Peter G". He admitted to once giving someone a back adjustment after drinking which he wasn't skilled to do, having not attended the weekend of class that was required.
In "The Education of Elmer T. Bags", Dr. Hartman lost his job because he never graduated middle school. So, he started going to James Woods Regional High School with Chris and Meg to get his qualifications for his back.
In "I'll Be the Judge of That", a man accuses Dr. Hartman of raping him because he gave him a prostate exam, the same way Peter did in "Stewie Loves Lois". Peter was working as the judge in that episode and found Dr. Hartman guilty on all charges.
In "Hefty Shades of Gray", he mentioned that he was engaged to a guy, known only as Mr. Ramirez.
