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.

Wonderful experience
Seeing an oncologist is so stressful and she really set my mind at ease. Positive, detail oriented, optimistic and data-driven, she is what everyone needs in an oncologist.

Horrible person and doctor
This horrible person almost killed me and my unborn child. She forced chemo and didn’t bother to come down and even see me when I kept saying something was wrong during the infusion. I went into preterm labor because of her. She’s a terrible doctor and I would not recommend her to even non pregnant women. She didn’t even have the courtesy to apologize or ask about me and my baby. She should not be a physician.

Dr. Harden takes the time to understand everything about your diagnosis. I appreciated the time she took to review other studies and consult with a panel of oncologists about my case before meeting with me. I liked her overall approach bc she provided options instead of telling me this is the only path forward as a previous oncologist did to me. I appreciate that she didn’t just focus on treating me with medications/treatment but also focused on what life style changes I need to do to help prevent reoccurrence. She is friendly and explains what I need to know in terms I can understand. She has a very good bedside manner which is important when you’re dealing with the unknown. I can’t say enough positive things about Dr Harden. I am happy she is my doctor.

I did not have a positive experience with Dr. Harnden. She did not have answers for why she recommended one cancer medication over another. Particularly after having painful side effects. Perhaps it was a personality conflict or just me...Yes, I ask a lot of questions, and I expect my provider to be prepared to answer them, or at least follow up with an answer later. This is my health and I should have confidence in my provider. She was not a good fit for me. If you like “doctor driven” care, you’ll probably like her. But if you want to make decisions about your healthcare WITH your doctor as I team, you may be disappointed.

Dr. Garden has been my medical oncologist as I get myself through breast cancer and a lumpectomy. She has been so helpful listening to me and explaining things to me with very clear pictures and notes from our discussion. She has helped me understand my diagnosis, treatment and road ahead. I look forward to my next visit with her next week. I highly recommend Dr. Harnden.
