I went in for a hiatal hernia surgery that had to be "corrected" due to the first surgery being done poorly. Communication was awful the entire time. Surgeon also gave medical information to my family in the waiting room when I expressed that I WOULD NOT like these details shared with anyone. Extremely unfriendly and will violate HIPPA.

The 1st time I met Dr. Harley he seemed a bit aloof, as if he were better than others, but after meeting with him and going thru 3 surgeries 2 with unexpected life threatening complications. SCARY, All of which Dr. Harley not only saved my child's life TWICE, he explained what happened in layman terms and assisted with other Dr's in finding a medical resolution to this issue. It was then I realized his aloofness Is just his demeanor he tells you like it is but tactfully, he is straight to the point, he IS a very kind and compassionate man. I would go back to him anytime and would refer my family and friends to him for surgery!!!

Dr. Harley was very pleasant and understanding of all my concerns and didn't make me feel like my questions were redundant. I felt he was very knowledgeable my surgery...the recovery time...what to expect during recovery, etc. Very pleased with his services!
