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.

Left Shin, punch biopsy done without numbing site.
I do not know of anyone that has received a 'punch biopsy' of the lower shin without first receiving a local anesthetic to numb the area prior to having the punch pushed into my leg to extract the biopsy. I have mentioned this fact to other physicians, and not one has ever heard of this being done.

Soft-Tissue Sarcoma Cancer Surgeries, (4).
I have had four separate myxofibrosarcoma surgical procedures performed by Dr. Harrington. The first surgery removed the tumor's positive margins in February 2021, the second surgical procedure was a flap/graft later that month. On November 07, 2022 I requested Dr. Harrington review new growth on my shin that was adjacent to my skin graft. During the clinic Dr. Harrington performed a punch biopsy of the growth area, and sent the sample to the pathology lab at Moffitt. Three days later, pathology called me to inform me that my cancer had reoccurred. The third surgery as scheduled for December 6th at Moffitt McKinley. The cancer was removed and I received pathology report of clear margins. On January 3rd, 2023 i had my last procedure of a second skin graft that was adjacent to the original graft. I will see Dr. Harrington this coming Monday, April 24, 2023 at Moffitt McKinley for a follow-up visit to check the graft site's healing.

Great physician, great person
Dr Harrington has taken care of two skin cancers for me with the greatest of care and invisible scars. As a retired OR nurse I wouldn’t consider going to any other plastic surgeon.

Dr. Harrington is an excellent and caring surgeon. I had to have surgery on my face and was self conscious about the potential results. Dr. Harrington reassured me that he and his team would do their best to eliminate the cancerous area and keep the scarring minimal. Just a couple months after the surgery, the results are amazing and the scar is pretty much non-existant. As scary as it is to think about having to be a Moffitt patient, Dr. Harrington and his team made it a positive experience by providing excellent surgical skills as well as addressing all of my concerns with kindness and compassion.

I saw Dr Harrington for a BA and had my reservations. He was absolutely wonderful and listened and addressed my concerns thoroughly. I am extremely happy with the results and would go back to him in the future. What is also remarkable is I overheard other patients talking about the high level of care they received from Dr Harrington as well.

Patients need to ask whether or not the doctor will actually be performing their surgery. My surgery was performed by an intern, which was not clearly disclosed to me beforehand.

I recently had Basal Cell Carcinoma surgery performed on my face by Dr. Harrington. The day before the surgery he called and spoke about his considerations. You don't find too many doctors who call you the day before surgery or after surgery. He is first of all, very intelligent, remembers your conversation with points of interests. He is patient, a good listener, has impeccable manners, and makes you feel at ease with what seems like the worst outcome ever. What a great doctor!
