Dr. Harbold is very concise and thorough on exams. He offers various options and techniques and explains them well. He and his staff are the best I’ve had the opportunity to meet and interact with. I have recommended him to many friends and family.

As someone with a host of health issues, I was blown away that Dr. Harbold offered to wear a mask when he saw me wearing one. The most positive experience I've had in years. Thank you so much for caring for your patients.
