He took the time to speak with both myself and my husband about my condition and about my various options. Very friendly as was the rest of his staff.The only negative is that I wish his exam rooms were not side by side and have a shared bathroom with doors on both sides.

I was a patient of Dr. Harpel's back in the 1980's, I really liked him at first, I trusted him. TEN surgical procedures later I realized that this man was a smooth talking, greedy butcher. Most of what he did was confirmed by other doctors as a bit aggressive given my condition. At this point, I would not trust my dog in the hands of this man. BUTCHER!

I knew Dr. Harpel when he was practicing in CA. He seemed more concerned with making money thn his patients. I underwent several surgeries recommended by him. Now, I am not so sure he awas the right doctor. Over the years I learned quite a bit about him. I will not go back to him.

I would never have believed there would be such a fine physician in a small town like Cynthiana. They are so fortunate to have such a caring and professional OB/GYN!!
