Patient Reviews
May 23, 2023
I had such a wonderful experience with this doctor. I was sent to doctor Harnsburger after having a painful, embarrassing chronic condition that my primary physician could not solve. Dr Harnsburger was kind and sympathetic to my pain and was able to quickly diagnose the problem and offer real, permanent solutions. She ended up performing a surgery that literally changed my quality of life for the better forever. I no longer have to deal with daily excruciating pain thanks to this doctor and her work. I do have to mention that the nurse for my appointments, Andrea, was terrible. Before even meeting with the doctor this nurse made me feel belittled, shamed and responsible for my condition. I almost left before seeing the doctor, I was so hurt and upset. I really don't understand why such an amazing doctor would work with someone like that. If you can deal with this curse of a nurse, the doctor is great.
