Patient Reviews
Jul 07, 2016
Dr. Harkins is really one of the best doctors out there. My son had a scary and rare eye problem and he saw him very quickly and went out of his way to do extra research for us and explained everything to ease our minds. He did extra leg work to arrange a hospital stay and necessary tests for my son and I absolutely recommend him. He was definitely sent to us by God in our time of need last summer!
