as his patient for over 40 years, he has always been there in not only the professional manner but the personal touch as well. As he was the former Chief of Staff at Hoag hospital, he knows so many of the Doctors in every category. As our family physician, Dr Harano can always point us to and set up the BEST specialist for whatever the medical category. This is what great and long experience brings to us......his patients. Don't let him retire....just in case he is thinking about it. DHoover

I Have been a patient of Dr Harano for 30 years. He is in tune with who you are as a patient and always has the right answer. His wisdom is so reliable and his experience and wisdom are what makes him the best of the best.

Dr. Harano’s years of experience make him the best doctor. He loves what he does and it shows with all the attention to detail and the personal interaction he has with his patients. He calls me with my test results and returns calls I have made to him when I have questions. I dread the day he retires.

We have a number of doctors that we deal with. I must say Dr. Harano, as our primary care physician, is absolutely the best that I have ever seen. I feel so secure and confident in every decision he makes. I feel he is so different than most doctors today. He truly cares about his patients and it shows 100% Thank you Dr. Harano.

The staff is rude, condescending. They also discuss your business in front of other patients, have they never heard of HIPPA? I used a false name since I took my patient there and I want to protect their privacy! People come to me for referrals all the time in Newport and CDM, this doctor could be the best in the world but the staff represents him and I could never recommend him. Wish I could rate lower than one star!
