Dr. Harms is by far my favorite doctor I’ve had (as an adult). Wish I started seeing him years ago. He is so down to earth, genuine and really listens to what you have to say. I’ve never once felt like he was rushing through our appointments. He just has this vibe to him that makes you feel at ease, almost like you are hanging out with a buddy. I’m glad I chose him as my Primary and hope he stays at this LB location for many years to come.

Dr Harms has been my primary care physician for over 30 years and I’ve never wanted to change to another physician. He has a wonderful bedside manner and listens to everything you want to relay to him. If applicable, he provides alternate methods of healing as opposed to writing a prescription.

Dr. Harms has been my primary care physician for over 20 years. Hopefully, Dr. Harms is not retiring anytime soon since professional, competent medical is hard to find in today’s medical professions.
