Dr Harnden was very thorough polite understanding and able to truly explain several areas that I have been very concerned about. He was able to address key areas and come up with a treatment plan. Even though I am of a significant weight and knew that weight loss would be a treatment goal. He treated me with respect and did not make me feel like the need to lose weight was the be all end all Solution.

One of the best Gastroenterologist i have seen. Very good bedside manner, he explains everything to you in terms you understand. Caught my Colon cancer at stage 1 which was very hard to see. He took care of my needs as a high risk LYNCH SYNDROME patient. Including all scans. I would highly recommend him 100%

Don’t waste your time. He only wants to send you away with more medicine and has no desire to get to the cause of the problem. More medicine and more office visits means more money for him. Go elsewhere.
