Dr. Harnish is just the absolute best. His knowledge, care, bedside manner, patience, and responsiveness are off the charts exemplary. He always goes the extra mile. He is the primary care provider for our entire family and has taken care of is for over 20 years. We are very sad that he is retiring but also very happy for him. He is like a member of our family. We will miss him.
