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.

Caring physician
Dr. Harrold is a very attentive, caring physician. I am a retired physician. We retired physicians can be challenging and sometimes intimidating patients for our primary physicians. Dr. Harrold provides me medical care in an expert but casual manner, listening to me, questioning me and formulating treatment plans with me, but not asking me to dictate my care. She takes charge as appropriate, something I genuinely value. I want to be the patient, not my own physician. I appreciate her respect for my medical knowledge while she (not me) guides my primary care.

Dr Harrold is the best!
Dr. Harrold truly makes an effort to get to know her patients. She is supportive and makes helpful suggestions without being judgy. Her appointments are punctual, thorough, and as pleasant of an experience as going to the doctor can be. I feel lucky to be one of her patients!

Best Primary Care Doctor Ever
It is hard to find the words to express the appreciation and love I feel for Dr. Harrold. For over a decade, she has stood by both my wife and myself through ordinary, mundane health situations. But more importantly, she has walked with us through the darkest, loneliest, most painful chapters of our lives. As far as we are concerned, she is family. She listens better than any physician we've ever known. She thinks, researches, and connects dots to arrive at thoughtful solutions. She never hesitates to tell us she doesn't know something. She feels our pain, empathizes, and takes action. She has a wonderful sense of humor, a kindness in her eyes and mannerisms, and a passion to help. Her staff, especially Maddie and Deb are spectacular as well. My wife and I are currently navigating a terrible health crisis. We count Dr. Harrold as one of the blessings God gave us in this fight. Thank you Dr. Harrold and staff!

Dr. Harrold is always on time with my appointments. She asked good questions about my condition and listens. I think it what it really comes down to is that she really cares about her patients.

Great PCP
Dr. Harold and her staff are kind, caring, and knowledgeable. We always feel welcome at her practice, I would definitely recommend her to others looking for a primary care physician. We get all of our questions answered to our satisfaction. My mom has been going to Dr. Harrold for over a decade and we feel blessed to have found her.

Dr Melissa Harrold has been my father’s primary care physician for many years. Dr Harrold listens to my father and his primary care taker during appointments. She cares about patients and follows up on all questions and concerns about dad’s health. Yes, I would recommend Dr Harrold to a friend, family member or co-worker. She’s a competent and caring physician.
