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.

Dr Harding was very caring and easy to understand. I appreciate the time she took to explain my condition and what she was going to do to fix it. I look forward to the rest of my recovery.

Great dr.
I haven’t seen Dr. Harding in years but she did my carpal tunnel surgery on both hands, trigger thumb and repaired tendons in both arms. I have not had any trouble since. I would highly recommend her.

I called for an appt upon referral from my doctor. 2 months out for a new patient or 1 month with PA. I am self pay and was put off when i was asked to pay the 150 appointment fee now, on the phone to "reserve" an appt. I was actually speechless as no other doctor that I or my husband has ever gone to ever asked for payment to reserve an appt ! Maybe they only really want patients with insurance so they can pad the bill. Either way if they don't trust me to show up i certainly have a bad taste in ny mouth and dont trust them.

Dr. Harding did surgery on my finger. She did an excellent job and she was extremely nice and very down to earth. She was very easy to talk to and made my experience very pleasant. She has an awesome staff and they are like a family. It was a pleasure being in an office where everyone was kind and caring. Loved the dogs as well. Sandie Kime The Villages. Jan. 7, 2021

As a musician, Dr Harding is the only one I trust to care for my hands. She also saved my wife’s right hand by grafting and repairing severed & ruptured tendons caused by a previous accident.

Dr. Harding is a caring considerate physician. She gave me the information I needed to make an informed decision in a clear and easy to understanding manner. Dr hading gave as much time to the appointment that I needed it. I never felt rushed. Both Dr. Harding and her staff go out of the way to ease any anxiety. The surgery went well and I have complete recovery.

I fell and injured my right wrist. So I had it ex-rayed at urgent care. They put on a half cast and advised me to see an orthopedic doctor. I called Dr. Harding because of several people’s recommendations. However I couldn’t get an appointment for 5 months. So I couldn’t tell you if she is a good doctor or not. But it’s nearly impossible to get an appointment.

Dr. Harding treated me for trigger finger. I found her to be gracious and extremely considerate. Her demeanor surprised me; she was down to earth and easy to talk to. She fixed my finger; she is, in my opinion, very genuine, very kind. She listens. And just a footnote, loved the dogs.

Where do I start? Dog chewed my glasses which I was told to put on the chair. Dog licking my pant leg before consultation. Stepping over dogs in the hallway to have my stitches removed. Waiting half hour for first patient of the day. Operation for dupuytrens contracture unsuccessful, therapy for 7 weeks, 3 days a week unsuccessful. Don't go to this doctor!!

As I approached the front desk I saw a sign posted. If you are allergic to dogs please advise us immediately. When I inquired about the sign I was told Dr. Harding brings her Shar-Pei's to work. Wow a surgeon with pet hair in the office. The office reaped of the dog odor and was dirty, not to mention a decorated Christmas tree in Aug. I ran as fast as I could.

I don't know how to rate Dr. Harding. Jim Chapman had Xiaflex injection for the treatment of Dupuytren's Contracture. The injection was done in Feb and we had a 2 week follow up & Dr. Harding said everything was good. The procedure was done in FL, we made her aware that we lived in Mi & were leaving 3/1. Since returning home he has had a great deal of issues with his hand. I called her office to speak to her regarding side effects and was told she would NOT talk to me & didn't have email.

Dr. Harding operated on my right hand and I ended up on antibiotics for 4 weeks after Surgery. Not only that but hand was worst. Had a nerve study done prior to surgery and then again 17 months after and test showed that nerves were worse after surgery. Also do not care for dogs freely roaming the office.

Dr. Harding treated my husband's Dupreyens and for the first time in years, he had no pain and could straighten his finger. He is about to have a second treatment on another part of his hand. Dr. Harding immediately diagnosed his problem, told us the history of the disease and gave him options of treatment. We would enthusiastically recommend anyone with hand issues to her.

I went to Dr.Harding for a second opinion before considering surgery on my hand. The pain has been increasing over the past several months. My visit was very enlightening, she was able to show me exactly where the problem lies, and then she showed me what she could do to repair the problem. She answered every question, gave me a lot more information than I had when I got there, and was very pleased with the care received. I was extremely impressed and will return.
