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.

Highly recommend!
Very thorough and knowledgeable.

Fast & Efficient!
Dr. Harwood removed 4 areas of concern and froze 2 others in less than 30-minutes! Despite the speed his examination was much more thorough than my last two dermatologists. He is fast, efficient and very professional; most highly recommended, A+

You can trust Dr. Harwood, I certainly do!
Been seeing Dr. Harwood for at least 8 years and he has always helped me and always been accurate in his diagnosis'. He took the time again to listen and then decide a course of treatment and as always, my issues were resolved within the treatment time expected.

Caring Physician
Dr. Harwood is an excellent physician who goes above and beyond to care for his patients. I was misdiagnosed by my primary care doctor this past holiday season. Dr. Harwood found the cause of my illness right away and put me on the correct medication. He also gave me a number to call him on Christmas Eve if I needed him. He truly cares about his patients.

Both the nurse and doctor were very kind, and listened to and addressed my concerns thoroughly. The office is clean and the staff is friendly. I only waited a few minutes before being seen, and had no trouble in setting up my next appointment. I would highly recommend Dr. Harwood to others.
