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.

Does not listen to patients concerns
I originally went to her because my primary care doctor was unavailable and I was having some chronic issues. I brought this to her attention and she immediately dismissed me saying that based on my bloodwork I was fine and refused to provide any sort of treatment. When I wanted to discuss further she became condescending and irate. Dozens of labs and tests later I was finally diagnosed by a neurologist with the exact thing I had come to her with concerns about that she had so casually dismissed.

Did not care about chronic issues
Dr. Hariston was dismissive of my chronic issues. My appointment with her was 15 minutes and I didn't even get to address half of my health concerns. I waited over one year for an appointment with her.

I have been seeing Dr. Hairston since I was 16 years old and I'm 47 years old now and still my Doctor. She's wonderful I will never see nobody else besides her. She always washed her hands, when she walks in the room and before she examines me. Very nice never rude.

She is extremely rude and dismissive. She audibly sighs when you mention that you have additional concerns that you would like to speak to her about. I have seen her twice and will never request her again.

The doctor dismissed be because I arrived 15 minutes late (on a morning when it was snowing and there were school closings and backed up traffic). Told me she would see all the patients that arrived on time first and even if she could squeeze me in, she wouldn't give me a physical anymore. No explanation of how many were ahead of me or how long I'd have to wait (it was 8:30am so there couldn't be many). She clearly wanted to get rid of patients. So I'm doing her a favor and never coming back.
