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.

The best healthcare I've ever recieved
I have had multiple surgeries to attempt to fix my knee after multiple sports related injuries. I figured I would always have pain. It wasn't until I met doctor Harrell who was able to evaluate, diagnose, and treat me in a hand full of visits. I have now been a year pain free and am extremely grateful for him and his team.

Dr. Harrell is AMAZING!! His PA however is possibly the worst human I’ve actually ever met on the face of this planet… I can actually imagine him reading this and “rolling his eyes with a smirk” like a previous commenter said… I don’t understand how someone as compassionate and caring like Dr. Harrell can have someone like Timothy Savoie work along side him.. I’m pretty sure PA Timothy Savoie kisses up so much that it doesn’t even sound like him when Dr. Harrell is told these stories… Savoie just seems like one of those kiss butt type people and then uses people like “uneducated / poor patients “ to make himself feel better about the who he is…. But you CANNOT go wrong with Dr. Harrell, he’s a Godsend!!!!! UNFORTUNATELY THO YOU WILL HAVE TO ENDURE THE WORST PA ON THE FACE OF THIS PLANET!!!! TIMOTHY SAVOIE-100 stars!!!

I seen Dr. Harrell a year ago for shoulder pain. He was great and discussed everything with me. Received a injection in my shoulder which helped a little bit but pain came back which he figured it would and said he does not recommend getting another injection after seeing my Xrays. Jump forward to today I had an appt. I thought was to get new Xrays and schedule surgery after speaking with the nurse that made the appt. because the pain is constant now. I get there Dr. Harrell did not come in the room and the PA wants to do an injection which I told him I don't feel comfortable with an injection since Dr.Harrell had already advised me he wouldn't do any more last time. PA and nurse very rude when I was questioning the injection and Pa rolling his eyes, nobody acted like they like their job. needless to say I had to go to work, Left without seeing a DOCTOR.
