Review for Dr. Harrod
Dr Harrod reviewed my X-rays before coming into the exam room. He knew exactly what was wrong. He told he how long it would take my foot to heal and what the process would be.

Review for Dr. Harrod
Dr Harrod did not rush in and out. He took time to make a diagnosis and develop a treatment plan while throughly explaining all steps. He was face to face the entire visit-no computer.
