Dr Harper and Cassandra are absolutely AMAZING at what they do. They are so warm, compassionate and helpful. I'm so thankful for them both! Dr Harper figured out what no other doctor would. He never gave up on me and for that, I am eternally grateful!

He is great but I had to wait a couple of months while I was in terrible pain. When we met he spent about ten minutes with me. Maybe a surgeon needs emergency hours for patients in need.
