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.

Mastectomy
From the front desk all the way to the medical assistance the whole entire medical office staff is nothing but compassion and a caring atmosphere from beginning to end. Dr Harper and his team are truly God sent to me they are very personable compassionate caring and you feel their authenticity and that they are truly there for you. They explain every detail of what’s going to happen in surgery and why. They are very encouraging and utterly understanding to your needs I hve never met doc like them. God hand picked these doctors I am feeling blessed to have had them do my surgery. There is so much more I could say but I’ll just say God I pray for your continued blessing your protection over doctor harper and his team guide their hands as they do the job you have called them to do. Amen

Amazingly great surgeries. Dr Harper did remove a cyst from my lower back and performed a hemorrhoidectomy on me the same day. I had expected major pain but I suffered none. I felt like Dr Harper had not removed anything inside me, because it was such a breeze! Only during the removal of the stitches one week after surgery, for a brief moment. I was able to cancel my pain killer medication! Dr Harper is the Michel Angelo of hemorrhoidectomies! He is attentive to his patients, polite, nice to talk to, and very competent. I highly recommend him!
