Dr. Brian Harkins recently removed my gallbladder. He was extremely knowledgeable and put my mind at ease. I felt very comfortable being in his capable hands. Dr. Harkins has a great bedside manner while being assertive and efficient. After having him walk me through the procedure, I was confident everything was going to be okay. I felt blessed that he was available to be my surgeon. Dr. Harkins was so amazing when it came to discharging me from the hospital after my surgery. He allowed the staff to release me on the same day so I could go home to my family. I was so appreciative that he was able to move things around and get me in for emergency robotic surgery. I am so thankful to Dr. Harkins and all his team for making my journey smooth! I would definitely recommend him to friends and family!!

I was assigned to Dr. Harkins in the hospital. Fully believe that he saved my life. He never gave up on me and ultimately healed me in a very critical situation. it could very easily have gone a different direction. So grateful for him and his NP and his entire office staff.

Dr. Harkins and his staff have performed several surgeries on me to repair different hernia's. Dr. Harkins to time to make sure I understood what the procedures consisted of, and explained in detail what I needed to do prior to and after each surgery. I honestly believe that Dr. Harkins and his staff will go above and beyond any expectations.
