The Dr. is very informative. Gets to the point with out question. Understands what Im saying!
Time to see Dr after filling up all forms was very long and therefore it needs to be reduced.
I enjoyed meeting him for the first time. I would be going back for treatment and therapy!!
Verified patient

Verified patient
Very nice Dr catered to your needs. I would definitely recommend him!!!
Verified patient
Long wait but worth it! He is a good caring pain management doctor.
Verified patient
I was disappointed because I had chosen to see this doctor for treatment from sports medicine perspective and he immediately prescribed me pain pills. I never intended to go to a pain management clinic and this seems to be truly what it is. I would recommend him for someone seeking pain management medication, but that is the only reason I would recommend him.
Verified patient
The medications promised were never rx’ed
Dr. Office has very poor management: despite several reminders and request, they fail to provide information requested by the Medical Insurance Institute and my claim is in limbo for more than a year.
The doctor was very knowledgeable, had great bedside manner, is friendly, and explained details to me in a clear & easy to understand manner. Would rate him more than 5 stars if that was an option. Highly recommended!

Dr harhash and his staff are the best!
Verified patient
They don't follow the appointment times. I feel doctor didn't try to identify the issue. Instead just suggested some otc medicine and some random tests.
This is my third time seeing him so far so good...meds given more test request which is great..and the receptionist is way better then the last two that were there...shes caring processional..and a sense of humour...
I do not complain about my medical care with dr. Harhash; but he's advertised in your web as an orthopaedic, and when I was ready to see him, after filled out all my regarding confidential medical info, I was questioned: "Are you aware that dr. Harhash is PAIN MANAGEMENT, not an orthopaedist??" My answer was a rotund NO; because that wasn't either mentioned in the web, so that, I was misdirected by your own website (Zocdoc). But, I still remain confident on the app., because it's very useful, efficient, and I could finally find a "real" Orthopaedist the same day, who saw me later on and order additional tests for my case. Thank you for asking me!

Nice md ..knows his stuff. Asked questions...and listened..caring requested a lot test for me. I will deff return to him. They have complementary coffee ..yuck ..front staff desk seemed overwhelmed with paper work and phone...although his assistant was very nice....
I waited more than 45 minutes to be seen. The receptionist was absolutely clueless. I don't think I'll return. If I do, it will only be because the office is nearby.
Very nice caring physician new to Huntington.
Verified patient
Great
Verified patient
He was very professional and showed genuine concern. Most doctors are quick to do X-Rays and MRIs but he spoke with confidence that I did not need one.
It was a positive experience. He is very nice and takes the time to answer any questions. He is also very knowledgeable. I will be going back. I highly recommend him. His office staff are also very nice. Very professionally run office.
