Very good
Wonderful bedside manner, yeats of experience AND he listens!
I’ve been going to dr. Harbaugh for 19 years now, and has been nothing but kind to my whole family. I’m so sad I’m nearing aging out of this office because I don’t believe I will ever find another doctor quite as caring and devoted as him.
We’ve been seeing Dr. Harbaugh at Children’s Medical Group since the birth of our son, who recently had his 4-year-old annual check-up—and we continue to be so grateful for his care. Dr. Harbaugh is pragmatic, personable, and truly trustworthy. Always takes the time to explain things thoroughly, easing our concerns and making sure we feel confident in our children’s health and care plan.Our 7-year-old daughter has also been under the care of CMG since birth, and we’ve consistently received excellent attention—from routine wellness visits to quick and accurate treatment of infections. We’ve also appreciated the proactive approach when it comes to referrals for ENT, X-rays, and labs whenever there’s a concern, no matter how small. It gives us tremendous peace of mind as parents. We recommend Dr. Harbaugh and CMG to all of our friends looking for a trusted pediatrician for their littles. Without fail, they’ve all had wonderful experiences and thanked us after their first visit!
Very thorough and kind!
They don’t get any better than Dr. Harbaugh!
So kind and caring. Dr. Harbaugh was very attentive to our 3 year old daughter, and I felt he really cared. He had a peaceful demeanor. I recommend him.
