Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Gave me my life back!
Dr Harms performed my S pouch surgery. Before my surgery I was on the couch with severe pain and nausea at least 5-6 days out of the week. I was only able to eat 2-3 different things and many times even those would send me in to horrible pain, urgency, etc. Dr Harms did such a great job with my surgery that I now am able to eat pretty much what I want. I am able to play with my grandson and enjoy watching him grow up. Thank you to Dr Bruce Harms for giving me my life back!

Had a serious hemmroidectomy surgery performed by Dr. Harms July 31 2019. He's the best you're going to get when it comes to this type of procedure. I'm 100% cured of my issue and the surgery itself was extremely effective.
