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. Harrell did my laparoscopic Inguinal hernia repair on 10 May 2024. He and his staff are truly professional and friendly and explain all that will happen during the surgery and after. They ensure you have all the information and answer anything that you questions about which puts you at ease. Hls skills are well developed and his concern shows thru out the process. You could not ask for a better doctor to take care of you should you need his skills. He is truly a wonderful and caring person that shows his concern during your visit. I would definitely use him again, if the need arises.

10 STARS !!! GREAT DOCTOR/SURGEON!!!!
A friend told me that she had a very positive experience with Dr. Robert Harrell as her surgeon and recommended him highly. After meeting him and his staff I knew I would get the best care possible. The staff is responsive, caring and so helpful which is rare these days. Dr. Harrell is knowledgeable, gifted, patient, caring and genuinely concerned about his patients. He willingly took the time to explain the procedure, answer any questions and fully prepare me regarding what to expect. When I arrived at the hospital for the procedure, the hospital staff had great things to say about Dr. Harrell and assured me that I was in the best hands. And I was. I would not hesitate to call Dr. Robert Harrell again if I need surgery. And I have no hesitation recommending him to anyone that needs his skills. Dr. Robert Harrell is the real deal! If I could give him 10 stars, I would. Thank You Dr. Harrell. You are a blessing!

I've heard good things.
I was not able to see the doctor.. When I arrived at my appointment time I was told that he had an emergency and was not in. I was told that someone attempted to reach me but the number was no longer valid. The number they called was 10 years old and from an old file from a different doctor that happen to work in the same office. I am rescheduling and looking forward to meeting Dr. Harrell.

Highly Recommend!
I saw Dr. Harrell when I needed to have my gallbladder removed. His office staff was super friendly, and got me in to see Dr. Harrell the next day. He was very warm and had a great bedside manner. He explained everything thoroughly and I felt very comfortable with him right away. I was able to get my surgery scheduled the very next week and the procedure was quick and downtime was only a couple of weeks. I highly recommend Dr. Harrell for all of your general surgery needs. He seems like he genuinely cares for his patients and never seems rushed when he is with you. He seems well liked by other patients, his office staff, and even the surgery staff spoke very highly of him! A+++ for Dr. Harrell!
