 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We want to express our deepest gratitude for Dr. Hariharan and his team. My daughter had undergone spinal fusion treatment recently. Our whole experience from the first appointment through post-op recovery was simply amazing. Outstanding care, deep understanding of patient’s needs and unparalleled professionalism. Equally great experience with all staff members at Paley institute and Palm Beach Children’s hospital. I will always recommend Dr. Hariharan to anybody. Writing these words with deep appreciation and gratitude.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had long since dreaded the day that my daughter would need her back surgery. We knew that going into it, it would be very complex. Our first meeting with Dr. Hariharan he was very nice and took the time to listen and answer all my questions. I never felt rushed during any of our appointments. However, now having seen him daily for a little while now, I feel better equipped to leave a review. Dr. Hariharan is ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL! He is the type of surgeon that isn’t only skilled but has a wonderful bedside manner. You want that kind of surgeon for your child! You want that kind of surgeon that will call and check on your child every night. You want the kind of surgeon that rounds everyday and doesn’t just send his assistants. You want the type of surgeon that will reassure you that he’ll be right beside you getting you through. You want the type of surgeon that will research and do the best evidence based practices for your child. So if you ever need a pediatric orthopedic surgeon, I highly recommend Dr. Hariharan.
