Dr. Harnish is just the absolute best. His knowledge, care, bedside manner, patience, and responsiveness are off the charts exemplary. He always goes the extra mile. He is the primary care provider for our entire family and has taken care of is for over 20 years. We are very sad that he is retiring but also very happy for him. He is like a member of our family. We will miss him.

Dr. Harnish made me feel comfortable and he was genuinely interested in my health history. He also provided some good suggestions for my care moving forward. I was a little concerned with losing my previous primary care provider but now I look forward to working with Dr. Harnish.

Dr Harnish remembers his patients and made a connection. Despite my appointment not turning out as expected he worked with staff to make sure that the procedure was taken care of.
