Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Harriman took out my gallbladder in 2009. Procedure went very well. Was pleased with the outcome. Then, 2013 my primary doctor sent me to him for a biopsy after I found a lump in my left breast. Unfortunately, the finding was breast cancer. Dr. Harriman took time and patiently explained the process to us. After chemo, he removed both breasts and thanks to God and a great team of doctors, I am here today. I will always consider him as one of the best doctors that I've ever had.

The staff was very friendly and caring. Office was clean and looked nice. The real star was Dr. Harriman. I've been in the medical field for almost 25 yrs. It is rare to find a surgeon who is so warm, friendly, and empathetic. He explained everything thoroughly and took time to answer my questions patiently. He even personally wrote down what to expect afterwards. I couldn't have asked for a better experience.

Dr. Harriman removed my gallbladder in Jan. 2013. A few months later I had an adhesion show up on my abdominal wall near the middle surgical site where my scar was. The adhesion was in no way the doc's fault at all, he had done an AMAZING job, it was likely caused by another health issue I have & some people just get them for no real reason. But it was no problem for Dr. Harriman, he simply had me come in, gave me a shot at the site and it went away in a few weeks, he didn't even charge me!

Dr. Harriman is so amazing. From the first time I met with him, he interacted with me and my husband as if we had known each other for years. He always know me and just a spectacular person. He explains everything in plain ole English, not just medical terms. He does not have that holier than thou attitude that most doctors have. His bedside manner is impeccable. We love Dr. Harriman!
