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.

Above & Beyond
Dr. Harb was amazing to say the least. I had a minor procedure with him & I was terrified before I walked into his clinic. He informed me more about why he wanted to do this procedure & made me feel more at ease. He also explained throughout the procedure what he was doing before continuing. Thankfully, I did not feel a thing. I'm very thankful I went to Dr. Harb!

Dr. Harb is one of the most OUTSTANDING doctor's I've ever had. He was recommended to me by so many people and I can truly see why. I'm due with my first baby in November and you can tell he honestly loves what he does and has a passion for helping his patients. He is quick to answer any questions you may have, he is thorough, kind, and overall a fantastic doctor. I never thought I would adore a male OBGYN as much as Dr. Harb, but he truly is unbeatable.

I highly recommend Dr. Harb as he is kind, compassionate, and highly skilled in caring for his patients. I had complications after delivery, but knew I was in good hands with Dr. Harb. Throughout the process he offered several treatment options, and explained everything thoroughly with care and concern. I hope I will have the opportunity to have Dr. Harb as my physician for a future pregnancy.

Doctor Harb is the most compassionate, loving, caring doctor who treats you as if you were his own family. He truly loves his patients and you can really tell. He delivered my healthy baby boy and followed every request. I have since then referred many friends of mine to him who are expecting and they all have the same thing to say about him. If you are looking for someone to deliver your baby, go to doctor Harb! You will not regret it.

Dr. Harb is the most amazing physician. I am a surrogate and he was fully supportive of our ideas and inclusive of the intended parents from the very beginning. I had complications after delivery and he stopped by everyday, if not more to see me. He was never hesitant to call in other physicians that specialized in other areas if he felt it was beneficial. I really can't say enough wonderful things about Dr or the staff he works with at the hospital or at the Roscoe location.

Dr. Harb delivered my first baby. He was there to support from the very beginning and stopped by each day after delivery. He truly cares about his patients and is just a cool/ funny guy in general! I wish he could be my doctor for everything.

I cannot speak highly enough of Dr Harb, I truly feel blessed to have him in my life as my physician. He removed my ovarian cysts and diagnosed me with endometriosis 6 years ago. Now, he has diagnosed me with PCOS, assisted me with fertility management and treatment with Clomid and will be removing another ovarian cyst in the coming months. I have always felt at ease with him and he goes ABOVE AND BEYOND any physician I have ever had. I work in the medical field and have encountered probably over 100 physicians over the years and NONE have I met or worked with that genuinely care as much about their patients and treats them as much like their family as Dr. Harb. He gave me his personal cell phone to call anytime I'm in need of anything, and when I see him now he offers a hug and warm smile. He has encouraged me throughout my fertility process and answers all of my questions thoroughly. I will always have him as my gyne/OB even if I have to change insurance and pay more out of pocket!

Dr Harb is by far the most professional and trust worthy doctor I have ever encountered. I have seen him since I was a young teen and he has since delivered my two beautiful sons. My second child was a preemie in the NICU and he was sure to stop in almost daily and visit and see how he and i were doing. He performed my D&C and was extremely compassionate. I'm now pregnant with my third and final child and am ecstatic to have him as OBGYN once again.

I first met dr harb when I went in to the office with incredibly high pain only to find out my first pregnancy was ectopic. He made me feel as though he was deeply saddened by my loss too and that really spoke volumes about how much he cares for his patients. He did my surgery the next morning as I had a burst Fallopian tube, and after that I couldn’t imagine seeing another doctor. He helped me learn more about my fertility and I was able to conceive again very quickly.

I started seeing Dr. Tarek Harb this year at the start of my first pregnancy. He is the most kind, caring, and compassionate doctor I have ever met. He is focused on your needs and the health of the baby and never pushed me to do anything I wasn't comfortable with. He spends time with you and actually listens and answers any questions. He was also amazing during labor and delivery! I couldn't have asked for a better OBGYN! He will definitely be my doctor for future pregnancies!

I could not say enough good things about both Dr. Harb and his nurse I met with today at the Roscoe IL Stateline Clinic. I greatly appreciate them making me feel at ease and so personable! This was my first appointment with him and I just had outstanding service which feels great because I did not care for my last OB that is why I switched!

Dr. Harb truly cares about his patients and gives the best treatment based on individual needs. I went to Dr. Harb for care during my pregnancy and always felt that he gave me his undivided attention and best advice while I was there. I had some health issues at the end of my pregnancy and he did everything possible to care for my health as well as my baby's in the last weeks of my pregnancy. He did everything possible to ensure I had a safe labor and delivery & encouraged me the whole way.

He is amazing. I am glad I was referred to him to treat my endometriosis but Instead I found out I was pregnant and he delivered my beautiful baby girl. He really put me at ease from the beginning and to the final moments of my pregnancy. As a first time mother he was able to put me at ease with every concern I had. I wish more doctors would be like him.
