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.

He is trustworthy, compassionate and proactive.

Best Dr I have ever had!
I have been with Dr. Harlan for a few years! He listens to what I say and gives me his best opinion and treatment. My husband now goes to him and thinks he is awesome. Hopefully the rest of my family will join us. He is going to tell you the truth wether you ready to here it or not. I was reading the other reviews and ran across a woman who left one star. Something about the Dr. supposedly told her husband he shouldn’t have to stop drinking. Maybe the Dr knew what his wife was like and that’s why he told him he shouldn’t stop. Drinking and depression go hand in hand with a difficult relationship. Just saying Love Dr. Harlan! He is the best!

I've been a patient of Dr. Harlan's for roughly one year now. He's fantastic. Doesn't pull punches. Gives it to you straight. His suggestions are always incredibly on the nose, and he has the best interest of the patient at heart. Really listens to me and understands. I appreciate that.

Dr. Harlan is a top-tier provider
I saw Dr. Harlan at his previous office for more than 10 years. I followed him when he moved to Meritas and pay extra to do so because he is such a good doc. He is a great diagnostician, keeps up on his literature and has an entertaining bedside manner. I liked him so much that I then took my sons to him. They still see him. I recommended him to my ex-wife, who still sees him. Now my wife sees him, too. He and his crew solve any problems with meds and pharmacies quickly. Once I brought our youngest into him following a diving accident. Although the kid was symptom-free, the second that we walked into the room he said "that kid's got a concussion" (he did). Harlan has been very available and accessible the entire time we've known him. Now my stepkids see him. I wouldn't send my children to someone I didn't trust. I have some serious and ongoing health challenges. Dr. Harlan has helped me to navigate them, keeping me in the work force and earning for my family. He's a great doctor.

Caring, Practical, Respected, Great Doctor
I have known Dr. Harlan for over 13 years. When my doctor retired about 10 years ago, I was so happy he was accepting new patients. I have great confidence in him and he always listens and never makes me feel that my concerns are not worth his time. He is very practical and straight forward while remaining caring.

He is a Great Doc
Dr. Harlan had been my doc for 9 plus years. He has always been engaged and caring and concerned as appropriate and usually doing so with a student in-tow. I am a Disabled Veteran and have a number of different issues, and he is always knowledgeable and gets to the bottom of what is happening. He is a great doc.

Great Family Doctor
Dr. Harlan has been our family physician for years. His care and concern for our family has been amazing. We were so sad when he left Encompass Medical Group, but might just follow him if insurance allows. He's knowledgeable, kind, and it's evident he loves what he does.

Best family Dr. in the northland
My family has been seeing Dr. Harlan for over 15yrs now. He has taken outstanding care of us. My daughters and I have a lot of medical problems, so I/we have had quite a bit of experience with different doctors and Dr. Harlan is top rate! My daughters are well into adulthood at 33 and 29, and still are loyal to Dr. Harlan as well as myself and my husband. Thank you for the years of great care to my family Dr. Harlan!

Cares more about what's good for himself instead of what's best for his patients. Plus the facility is outdated.
