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.

Dr Harrington is top notch
Dr Harrington is an amazing PCP. He always takes the time to listen to what you're coming in for, provides his thoughts, analysis and offers his thoughts and potential follow up/next steps. You never get the sense that he's trying to rush you out and gives you as much time to talk, ask questions, etc. He is very thorough and seems to always play it safe with the patient, not hesitant to order tests if one wishes to do so, but will advise when he thinks its just an extra precaution.

Dr. Harrington is excellent. He is kind, caring and always takes the time to listen to you and answer your questions. He is very thorough in his explanations and is good at judging your level of understanding so that you get what he is saying. He really feels like a partner in my health.

He was an hour late for the appointment which would have been fine if he had been polite to me. It was immediately evident that he thought I was wasting his time. I had not requested a referral but was given one by my PCP who told me there would be a procedure. During the brief meeting with Harrington, he couldn't answer my questions. That only seemed to annoyed him more. Dr. Harrington, you shouldn't blame the patient for making an appointment which was requested by the PCP.
