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.

Brilliant and caring
Dr. Harb is compassionate, thorough, and brilliant. He inspires confidence and hope. He looks you in the eye, makes sure to answer all of your questions, and never feels rushed.

Appreciate the time spent
Dr Harb took the time to go step by step, providing detailed explanations of my test results, answered all of my questions, and outlined what my next steps would be. He made me feel much more comfortable with my upcoming surgery.

The office attitude at Harb is extremely poor. There are often very long wait times, and they frequently fail to answer phone calls. The office needs better supervision, as mistakes are common and tasks often need to be redone multiple times.

Would Recommend
Very polite and respectful. Immaculately clean office, large lobby. Con: although the lobby time wait is short, the time waiting in the exam room is much longer.

I'm in the BEST hands with Dr. Harb
Dr Harb is Amazing! His calmness and professionalism is like none I've ever known! I couldn't wish for a better man along with his tremendous staff to help me through this frightening time. He is so attentive and is so focused and explains every detail in words I understand. Cancer is scary Dr Harb has helped put my mind at ease. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Dr. Harb saved my life...
Prior to my diagnosis of stage 4 non-Hopkins Lymphoma, things were moving slowly. Dr. Harb saw me immediately and got things moving fast. He didn't waste any time, and treated my cancer with the urgency I thought it should have been treated with from the beginning. Within days, I had a bone marrow extraction, CT scan, heart MUGA scan, and a chest portal implanted. By the end of the week, I had my first of six chemo treatments scheduled.Dr. Harb was my advocate. He fought for me the entire time. He and his staff made me feel like I was more than a number. I've been in remission for just over a year. Dr. Harb has me go for a CT scan and MUGA scan every six months for follow-up. He always makes me feel like I am his only patient and never makes me feel like he is rushed or has someone more important in the next room. If you get Dr. Harb as your doctor, you are in good hands.
