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.
Dr. Harries is the worst doctor I have ever visited. He didn't listen or care one bit about me as a patient. I had an MRI and when I went back for his evaluation, Dr Harries never mentioned the results but on my paperwork he wrote that he explained all the results with me. He lied to receive VA money and he is a horrible human being! I visited him twice but I will never go back to him again! Do not waste your time or money.

I was discharged from this dr for a urine test that was 2 months prior from discharge. The test came back that I had alcohol in my system, which is false because I am diabetic and I do not drink. They refused to restest or even discuss the issue and I believe that things were handled very unprofessional!

I saw Dr. Harries last week for the consult. I will go back next week for an epidural and pain shot. Then after another two weeks, I will go back for a different treatment for a totally different issue. He was thorough with his explanation of what to expect. Thus far, I am impressed with Dr. Harries and his staff.

Dr. Harries has put a SCS in me, I was referred to him from another pain management Dr. He is a very good doctor seems very good at what he does. His staff are still trying to learn his ways. He has only been with Deaconess a short time. Other than that very good doctor.

I had an excellent experience with Dr. Harries. He is direct, efficient and provided accurate information for me to make good health decisions. Since I was unfamiliar with back related situations and treatment options, I naturally have many questions. He and his staff have helped me through a very difficult herniated disc without dangerous, addictive pain medication. Thanks to you and your staff. I hope never to return. Should I have to, though, I know you will help me through it, again.

Truly sad how Dr. Harries handled the situation with my Mom's appointment. They are the most unprofessional team I've ever spoken to. I work in the medical field and shocked how they spoke to me. Trying to help you and I got a "you can give it but Dr. Harries will not call the VA." I'll do you a favor Dr. Harries, I will do my best to get you off the VA list and then you won't have to say the VA is a joke ever again. I'm sorry for the Vets who have been sent to you. You are the joke sir.

This man has no regard for patient rights. He has no business working with humans. He is disrespectful, rude. I did everything he asked and rather than be grateful, he treated me as if I was some sort of lazy blob who deserved to be in pain. You cannot have a calm, rational conversation with him. He will explode in anger, throwing his pen down and storm off. He will ignore you the whole time and then when you express any type of emotion, he gets angry. Seriously, he should be reported to

I've been a patient of Dr. Harries since June of 2014. After a series of tests and procedures, I have gone from a very high dose of pain medication 4 times per day to the lowest dose, 1 time per day.
Dr, Harries will be honest and straightforward with his patients, focusing on those who are in genuine pain, not those looking for a handout of pills. I have come to respect Dr. Harries very much.

I was touched by the compassion Dr. Harries had toward my husband. We had a bad experience with a drug and Dr. Harries helped my husband to get off this drug. We didn't realize the effect the drug had on us. Addiction is awful, we never want to let anything control our bodies ever again.

Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Harries?
I was referred to Dr. Harries for pain management in 2006 by a very competent specialist after I underwent surgery for a severe Lisfranc dislocation fracture. Dr. Harries was able to reduce my pain medication because of his extensive knowledge of studies in the treatment of RSD. He prescribed blood pressure patches to be applied externally to my foot, which increased the blood flow and decreased the neuropathic pain. He puts the welfare of his patients first, and I trust him with my care.

I recently suffered a back injury in an auto accident. Dr. Harries was awesome, took time to explain my options and listened to my concerns. He worked with me to plan my care instead of ignoring my input. If you're a drug seeker go elsewhere, he honestly wants to help you with your suffering not fuel your addiction. I recommend Dr. Harries to anyone honestly seeking lasting relief and a return of their quality of life.

I have been a patient of Dr Harries since the early part of 2000. He genuinely cared about my illness and took the time to answer all my questions and concerns. He has continued to impress me by wanting to address the root cause of my pain instead of throwing a bunch of pills at me. He has consistently treated me with respect and professionally for many years. I have recommended Dr Harries to family and friends as well. I will continue recommend him in the future.

Bringing my elderly mother to Hamburg Pain renewed my faith in the medical profession and their ability to diagnose and effectively treat chronic pain. Dr. Harries and his staff are compassionate and truly caring. They understand that chronic pain is complex and that multiple treatments may be necessary, and that quick fixes are not the solution. I would highly recommend Hamburg Pain to anyone suffering from chronic pain.

Dr. Harries is a very good doctor. He has lots of knowledge. The office is very comfortable and you get in and out usually in less than 1/2 hour. I have to mention this, they have the most comfortable chairs of any place I have ever been. You are not in them long but you hate to get up after sitting down. I see Dr. Harries at the Lexington office. If you are simply shopping around for pills, this is not the doctor for you. Everything is completely above board so don't waste your or there time.

Have been seeing him since 2008 and he knows his stuff. Would recommend him to anyone and I do alot. If your just looking for pills he is not the Dr to go see. If you want help with your pain he is the one. He will do everything he can to help you (Except throw pain meds at you). Have talked to many many people coming and going there over the years and it is amazing to hear all the people he has helped. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
