Dr. Harsh was a great doctor and he provided me the best medical service. I wish I am lucky to found another Dr. Harsh in New York City! Miss him!

Dr. Harsh & Dr. Gibbs have kept me alive and enjoying a quality life - they are absolutely the best!

SHC Patient, Apr 2014

Dr Harsh is wonderful.

SHC Patient, Jan 2014

Dr. Harsh spent very little time with me and was somewhat "rushed." Nurse practitioner (CT Dubrow) has not followed up despite leaving several voice mails plus direct msg. w/clinic staff.

SHC Patient, Jan 2014

It was nice to know the technical terms of what we were discussing as well as the explanation of them.
