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. Hargrave is amazing!! He listened to my needs. He truly cares about his patients and clearly has a passion for what he does. I am 100% satisfied with my results!!

Dr. Hargrave has removed several Basal cell carcinoma from my face and his work has been fantastic. Having a local anesthesia administered to your face is not pleasant, but Dr. Hargrave makes the experience as pain free as possible. He takes his time with injections and with his surgery. He is also a very nice man who left me as relaxed as I have ever been during a medical procedure. You will not regret choosing Dr. Hargrave.

Dr. Hargrave performed my belt lipectomy and I could not be happier with the care I was given by the surgeon and his staff.

Finally addressing a bad experience from 2007 (closure?). Something shifted after rhinoplasty and my nose healed very crookedly. The worst part is how Dr. Hargrave handled it afterwards. He told me to put tape on my face to straighten it! When he finally agreed to a corrective procedure, he just shaved off a part of a bone that was protruding, but did not correct the problem - still crooked. I wish he owned up and was honest about the extent of the problem, and that 2nd rhinoplasty was needed.

We took my son to see Dr. Hargrave in early July for a growth on his arm. We then scheduled a follow-up appointment in August. He has cancelled and rescheduled twice. My son was in tears when we told him his appointments had been rescheduled. No legitimate reason was given for the cancellations. Very unprofessional.

Excellent surgeon! Not only does he answer your questions thoroughly but he genuinely cares about his patients and makes that apparent in every visit. He takes pride in his work and wants you to be nothing less than ecstatic with your results! I recommend him to everyone I know, and if I ever choose to have another procedure, I will be going back to him!

I was sent to Dr Hargrave because of a very bad trigger finger injury. The finger had been compromised for years, and was waking me in the night during my gardening season. It hurt terribly. He found a 'shredded' tendon in that finger and repaired it as best he could. After surgery and physical therapy, the finger is now quite straight and the pain is GONE. Dr Hargrave has a wonderful manner with patients and is a lovely man. After 2 surgeries with him, I highly recommend his care.
