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.

Everyone provides a positive, friendly atmosphere. Dr Harker presents as a competent, knowledgeable doctor.

I have every confidence in Dr. Harker and would recommend him without hesitation to anyone who asked me. His manner is very professional but still personal. He listens and gives his answers and opinions in a caring manner. Having moved to this area recently I feel fortunate to have him for my PCP. The Office and other Staff are always very friendly and accommodating. I appreciate the "call back" after my appointments with any Lab results or just checking in.

I was a new patient and wasn’t feeling well. He actually waited for me on a late Friday afternoon to see me. Very professional, very caring and generally a great guy. His staff is top notch... They are caring and kind. Dr. Harker and the staff at Appledore are the ones to go to.

My visit was one scheduled at the last minute due discomfort. It was the first time I had an appointment with him. Dr Harker was thorough, kind, caring, spent a lot of time with me, was extremely easy to talk to & listened to everything I said & answered everything I asked. I highly recommend him. The staff at Appledore was wonderful to deal with in all aspects.

Dr Harker is my PCP. We are new to the practice. I’ve been there three times and have received fantastic care, from the front desk, nurse staff, Dr Harker, and easy check out process. Dr Harker listens, thinks, communicates well, and most importantly, I know he cares.

Dr. P. Harker is always very attentive, courteous and professional. He both listens to and addresses my concerns in a way that makes me feel comfortable. My infant son also sees Dr. Harker instead of a pediatrician because he’s a general practitioner. I would highly recommend him, as he’s definitely the best doctor I’ve had in a long time.
