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.

I have always been very pleased with Dr. Harmless and his staff. Never have had to wait more than a few minutes in the waiting room. He has taken very good care of me for many years now.

Elmo Grubb's death was no accident. Harkless wrote another BAD PRESCRIPTION. Antibiotics are not intended for heart disease.

The only thing that Harkless knows how to doctor is his medical records to cover up for his prescription screw-ups.

Dr. Harkless found that I had a rib out on my annual exam. I went to see him because I was experiencing symptoms that I thought might be heart related. He does chiropractic and he adjusted me. I feel like a new person!
