07/25/2023

My first appointment with Dr. Harmes was a pleasure. She was a much better listener than i was at expressing my situation. She said that the meds i had been on were a high dosage. At first i was pretty doubtful, but then i reduced the amount and discovered that she was right. Thank you Dr. Harmes

04/25/2023

Very happy and comfortable

04/25/2023

Only complaint is I waited 45 minutes after my appointment time to see Doctor.

04/22/2023

It was 75 degrees on a friday at 4:30- you could definitely tell she wanted to get out of the office as fast as she could. No head to toe assessment was done. Not sure if as an adult PCP if you do that or not? I felt so rushed. Being the first appointment with a new doctor there was absolutely so relationship built and left feeling like i wasted my time and that I will have to be on the search for a new doctor, yet again.

04/22/2023

An overall very nice experience.

04/22/2023

This is the first time I have seen Dr. Harmes and I was impressed.
