 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Hariharan is one of the most caring, attentive, and supportive doctors I have seen with my child. He took the time to talk to my child, was understanding, discussed all options, and set him up with instructions of what he needs to do to be as healthy as he can be for a successful surgery and recovery.  Dr.Hariharan and his team communicated with us  and checked in every step of the way from our initial appointment throughout the surgery and recovery.  We are forever grateful and thankful for him and his team,
