He was great and very knowledgeable!
Even though he couldn’t help me, it was beyond his control. You did a nice job. I wish he could’ve helped your pain or he could not.
Dr. Harper has brought me great relief with my shoulder injections. He is quick with the procedure. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of joint pain relief.
Great doctor, very informative on the subjects related to my injury
I had come in thinking my hips were bad. I’ve had pain for 21+ years and have been through numerous techniques; chiropractic, massage, physical therapy, only to have the pain return over and over again. I came in yesterday thinking it was my hips that were bad but they were fine! It was scoliosis in my lower spine. Thank you Dr Harper for taking the time to see me and offering to help to alleviate possibly some of the pain!

Very personable and knowledgeable.
Staff is wonderful, kind, personable & caring.
Immediate pain relief. After a thorough and patient conversation, Dr. Harper gave me each of the options and let me decide. His bedside manner was impeccable and I'm so impressed with how immediate the relief was. I went in for a consult and came out pain free. Totally recommend!! The only regret I have is waiting so long to schedule.
Thanks for fitting me in
