The reviews for Dr. Harnisch present contrasting patient experiences. One patient describes a highly negative encounter, expressing frustration with a misdiagnosis, ineffective treatment, and a lack of follow-up care, ultimately leading to ongoing suffering. This patient felt abandoned and dissatisfied with how their condition was handled. On the other hand, another review paints Dr. Harnisch as an intuitive and knowledgeable dermatologist, praising his ability to explain treatment plans clearly and effectively, which led to successful management of the patient’s skin issues. The feedback illustrates a significant divide in patient experiences, with some questioning his competence while others regard him as highly skilled and supportive.
