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.

Exceptional care
I’ve been a patient of Dr. Harrington’s for more than five years, and he and his associates and staff are always thorough, thoughtful, and empathetic regarding all aspects of my health and health care. Several years after being diagnosed with hip osteoarthritis, it became obvious that I should have hip replacement surgery; I was easily able to schedule it with Dr. Harrington’s staff months in advance. It took place at Baylor College of Medicine’s orthopedic surgery center which, from my experience, is a great facility. Waking up from that procedure and no longer having the hip and thigh pain that I felt prior to surgery was such a relief then, and now. I’ve also seen Dr. H for knee pain, which, thanks to his recommendations, improved quickly and resolved itself (I’m grateful not to have needed surgery). For anyone seeking the expertise and care of a doctor who specializes in knees and hips, and who’s very personable and has a great sense of humor, don’t hesitate to see Dr. Harrington.

Wish He Had Stayed in Chicagp
Best orthopedic surgeon of my 61 years as an ortho patient. I've had 8 hip surgeries including three replacements. The only surgery without problems was the hip replacement Dr Harrington did.

Dr. Harrington is an amazing surgeon and doctor. I had a TKR that failed, he fixed what I was told was unfixable. My father fell and broke his hip 2 days ago, and he was able to get my father transferred and operated on during this pandemic. He goes above and beyond for his patients, responding to emails, communicating, and being an overall amazing man. I highly recommend this surgeon to ANYONE who isn’t sure where to go.
