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.

If I could leave zero stars I would! I was referred to her for dizziness, facial numbness and other issues. She proceeded to tell me that it was migraines and even though my MRI showed multiple lesions on my brain and the report said MS she said she was going to treat it as migraines because too many people come in and are diagnosed with MS who don’t actually have it and get on disability. She also said because I was born premature that that is why I had the lesions. I’m a twin and she doesn’t have lesions or the same problems. I decided to see another doctor there after my symptoms continued. While I was in the room waiting for the other doctor she comes and snatched my chart off the door and proceeds to scream at this doctor and tell him that nothing is wrong with me that I was born prematurely. I have never been so humiliated in my life. I am still having the same symptoms and even new symptoms. Never see this lady especially if you have been born prematurely!!

She came across as uncaring and not very knowledgable. I left with all the same questions I arrived with. I had a 10:20 appt and wasn't seen until 12. She then spent 20 minutes with me.

Please review all doctors in this clinic before making an appointment. They will not let you change doctors in this office if you don’t like the one you originally gave an appointment with. This is completely ridiculous and inconsiderate of their patients care and trust with feeling comfortable with their doctor and THANKFULLY I have NEVER encountered this anywhere else in any other doctor office. Personally, I would not recommend Dr. Harrington & they won’t give patients any choice to change.

I wouldn't refer anyone to this "doctor" & NMMC shouldn't refer patients to her! She was unprofessional & seemed incompetent. I had the first appointment of the day & still waited about an hour for her to get there. She came into the exam room with wet hair. She acted like she was high & oblivious to what she was supposed to be doing. She didn't examine me or offer any neurological testing. She was unable to answer my questions & seemed to struggle to simply respond to me in conversation.

This is by far the worst doctors office I have ever been too. We have been here a total of 4 times and every time we sit in the waiting room for at least an hour past our scheduled appointment. Sometimes upwards of an hour and a half. We then sit in a room waiting on Dr. Harrington for another hour or so. This visit our appointment time was 2:20pm and we were called back at 3:39. We are now sitting in a room waiting on Dr. Harrington. It'll probably be another 30 minutes before we will see here.

She should no longer be practicing medicine. Most likely, she will send you off for tests that she can not interpret, relying on the consulting physician to provide any advice. While it's very sad that she no longer has the mental capacity to serve as any "doctor" at all, it's extremely sad that she continues to be referred to by family practitioners. Do NOT trust your loved one to this "doctor". All she specializes in is sending you out for tests she can not interpret.

I have found her to be fair doctor. I think she needs to get over her reluctance to prescribe adequate pain relief for her patients. I find her to be friendly, personable, and easer to try to help.

Does not introduce self, does not listen, performs inadequate neuro assessment. Her demeanor made me question her qualifications.
