Rating & Reviews
Dr. Harb was very concerned about my son even though he did not have any rashes anymore at the visit.
Dr. Dana Harb is amazing and very professional
This was only a first initial visit. We have never used this provider before. But she seems very open, very willing to listen, very willing to work on things in the process instead of just jumping to big, heavy medications. So far, I would give very, very happy and very good reviews.
The nurses and staff were so kind and nice! Dr. Harb was great! Explained everything to me that I could understand and listened to my concerns. Recieved answers that I had questions to. She took the time to really listen and was very knowledgeable! I appreciate all our doctors and nurses at PCH!!! :)
Yeah, so actually my wife and I got recommended to send our son to dermatology through Phoenix Children's and he is currently one month old and the provider that has been taking care of him was very thorough. She actually wanted to do some extra testing just to be sure that he was going to be safe and everything was going to be okay. And thankfully she did that. It seems that the testing may have picked up something. So I am very grateful for that. A lot of providers around other places will not take that other step or other initiative and I'm very thankful for that because that could literally save my son's life and I'm very appreciative. Thank you so much.
Thank you for the kind and service
