Very good bedside manners, he treated us like family. He didn't immediately rush to perform surgery. He explained everything to us regarding my husbands situation and answered all of our questions.

Best decision ever! it's been a year and I feel great, 100 pounds lost. Dr Harold explains everything and is honest, very professional. I had 2 C-sections and a gallbladder removal and my recovery was a walk in the park compare to the other surgeries I has in the past.

He is very unprofessional and thinks he's God. Does not like family members in the room while talking to patient.We lost a family member because he did not do anything. Our loved one was sick for 6 weeks. One simple procedure that should have been done that this man did not do and our loved one would still be with us. There are many better Dr's. Ones that care and know what needs to be done. Not let someone suffer for weeks.

Most memorable. ....was his unprofessionalism, lackof Information, acts as if he was God...n He is our savior. Rude, needs mannerisms, speaks as though You DO AS I SAY OR I'LL. ..DROP YOU... Which is what he did. WORST MISTAKE WE EVER MADE ALLOWING HIM TO PERFORM SURGERY, my wife is WORSE off now than when she went in. Medical Board WILL BE NOTIFIED. Trying to give him a ZERO but it would not allow me.

I had a hernia repair surgery when I was 17 by Dr. Harold. He was very professional and made me feel comfortable with my surgery.
