Dr. Robert A. Harf, MD

I met Dr. Harf for the first time when I was in the ER with a broken femur. He was very caring and compassionate as he explained what needed to be done in terms of surgical repair. He gave me all the details, but in terms I could understand...even drew a nice picture on the whiteboard for me. I won't trust my Orthopedic care to anyone else going forward. Dr. Harf is wonderful!

Office staff play a weird game of waiting a long time to schedule much needed MRIs and tell the patients it's an insurance issue and that a "peer-to-peer" is needed. When I called the insurance company to ask why they were holding up approval for the MRI, I learned that a request hadn't even been submitted yet and "peer-to-peers" only happen when a request is denied. How can it be denied if it was never submitted?! The insurance agent called the office on my behalf, with me also on the line. The person that answered the phone was very rude and raised her voice at me AND THEN HUNG UP (as I was crying, explaining my pain and situation.) The insurance agent was aghast at the receptionist's behavior and asked if I would like to file a grievance. I declined and she helped me find a new orthopedic and spine specialist. I don't even mind I have to drive 45 mins each way, this new practice treats me with respect and actual care. Dr. Harf saw me for the total of 4-5 minutes and while I got the sense that he cared--or is good at projecting an attitude of caring-- he was very rushed and obviously overbooked. If he really cared about his patients he'd address the issue he has with the one of his staff members. One of the women in the front office was super sweet, kind in-person, and did her job well. The other seemed disorganized and was a bit short tempered in-person, I suspect this is the same person that hung up on me. Update: they called to schedule an MRI weeks later, after I had already established care elsewhere and I said I had moved on and I didn't appreciated being hung up on and dismissed. The person on the other end on the phone stammered and said something about their phone system being bad and dropping calls. I replied it didn't sound like a dropped call. (Dropped calls don't sound like the receiver being slammed down.)

Trigger happy to do surgery. Doesn't know anything about psoriatic arthritis  which is what was causing my pain. A trip to the rheumatologist and a scrip for otezla and no more pain. Also TOOK HIS MASK OFF IN THE EXAM ROOM!!

Let me preface this by saying I don't throw around the term, "garbage human" lightly. This man is one. Period. He started by at our first meeting walking in, looking me up and down, grunting and saying, "Come on. You need to ask your doctor to get you weight loss surgery". Yep, I'm chubby but only about 40 pounds overweight. He made me cry while I was being wheeled into surgery. He literally yelled 2 inches from my face when after using the pain meds he gave me to the letter of the instructions I needed a couple days more because I was (still am 1.5 weeks post surgery) in excruciating pain. He refused and gave me a pain med that we prescribe to dogs in my vet practice. If you like being belittled, condescended, ridiculed, left in excruciating post operative pain, given zero idea what your surgery or post operative healing will include, not be able to get through on the phone EVER, be sent away continuously from the pharmacy because this garbage human doesn't know how to fill a prescription out properly, and basically left to figure out after care/physical therapy on your own then this is the doctor for you!
