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.

Such a great and endearing doctor
Dr. Harms is by far my favorite doctor I’ve had (as an adult). Wish I started seeing him years ago. He is so down to earth, genuine and really listens to what you have to say. I’ve never once felt like he was rushing through our appointments. He just has this vibe to him that makes you feel at ease, almost like you are hanging out with a buddy. I’m glad I chose him as my Primary and hope he stays at this LB location for many years to come.

Refused to provide care
Dr Harms was covering for a colleague who was on vacation and refused to provide care to her patient that suffers from a progressively debilitating and incurable disease- Multiple Sclerosis. I would NEVER trust a DO! He did not read the chart to determine what was appropriate and just denied care.

Dr. Harms is great. I had a medical issue that I was worried about and he was able to see me quickly after I contacted him. I’m thankful for the nurse and staff there who checked in and asked if I was anxious as well. It seems like they really care about their patients here and Dr. Harms always offers excellent medical care.
