A little too quick otherwise very informative
Very competent and informative
Me and my wife liked him. Very direct and to the point also thorough. Easy to talk to and simple and quick to get next step scheduled.
Dr Harper reviewed my case and had immediate recommendations and explained everything. I originally saw him seeking an opinion but now am doing my surgical procedure with him. He is outstanding.
He gave me hope that there may be a solution to deal with the debilitating pain that has destroyed me after a car accident 14 months ago. I will give him a 5 or higher if it happens. Personable.
