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.

Gallbladder Surgery
Dr. Harney did an excellent job on my Gallbladder surgery. I was in bad shape and he did a wonderful job. He has an excellent bedside manner and makes sure you feel comfortable every step of the way. Would highly recommend.

Let me tell you, Dr. Tyler Harney is a very caring doctor. I could not have asked for a more attentive doctor. In today's world you don't find a doctor who takes time with their patients, due to insurance mandates. Thank you Dr. Tyler Harney.

I was leaving a review, the site would let me complete it. In short he doesn't seem to care if his patients get well or not, he's doesn't change treatment when the one he's using hasn't worked in over a yr, he's to busy to take care of the patients he has, late getting to the office all the time. I don't know about other patients but has never been in my room over ten minutes, pushes back your appointment mean while your getting worse, I can't afford to run to the er and waste my day waiting to be seen because they don't do anything to help your wounds, unless there highly infected. That's all I got to say, I couldn't in good conscience even give a one star rating A concern patient

He starts out pretty well but you seem to get forgotten some where in his overly busy schedule, your condition worsens like you are doing it, when it is neglect from him. Don't expect pain medication, he will tell you your doctor will provide that, if you don't have a doctor it's your own fault. You will have to suffer though the pain. This is all based on my experience yours my be different. God I do hope it is.
