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. Harwin replaced my left knee in September 2019 and my right knee in December 2019, and I couldn't be happier. Because I have some other health conditions, I had trouble finding a doctor that would operate on me, but Dr. Harwin and his entire staff were very professional and welcoming. It's amazing to walk without pain!

Overall great. Warm and empathetic team. Responsive to telephone calls. I am making a good recovery, better than I had expected. Pay attention to the pain management information, and do not be afraid to call if you have forgotten or gotten overwhelmed in the middle of recovery. They will get you on the path you want to be on.

I have had Harwin and his team do 4 joints on me. Every time a great experience. Yes, there is pain but they work very hard to make it as comfortable as possible. I just finished with my second knee and recovery was so much better than a couple of years ago. Dr. Harwin is always moving forward to give his patients the best possible experience.

My right hip replacement with Dr Harwin, was extremely straightforward, simple, and painless with extraordinary results. The lack of pain, the available range of motion post op, made for a very easy recovery. Dr. Harwin showed me a great deal of compassion before during and after surgery.
