Recommended Doctor
Gerald HARKINS MD
Obstetrics & Gynecology - Pennsylvania HERSHEY

Dr Harkins is a great doctor! He got me in to see him within a week of having an ultrasound that my family doctor told me showed a abnormal growth. He immediatly let me know it was not cancer, got me in quickly for laproscopic surgery to see what was going on. I will be having my hysterectomy in July and I have no worries knowing he is my doctor! I also referred a friend to him that was having similar problems and when I told him that his office couldnt schedule her to see him for 2 month he had me give her his personal email address and got her in to see him within a few days. I could gush all day about him! He makes you feel like you are his only patient, like he has all day for you. He lets you email him with any questions you have. I love him!

Dr. Harkins will be performing my hysterectomy in February. He is the Chief of Minimally Invasive Surgery at Milton S. Hershey Medical Center in Hershey, PA.

Dr. Harkins listened patiently as I told him about my symptoms. He explained his diagnosis to me and allowed time for me to ask questions and didn't rush me. He was genuinely caring. Dr. Harkins personally emailed and called me to tell me the results of my biopsy, ultrasound, and labs. How many doctors do that?!

I had a LAVH on June 6, 2007. Dr. Harkins was my physician and I would highly recommend him to anyone with gynecological issues. He treats you as if you are his only patient. I had some problems after my surgery and he was so accomodating to my needs. He keeps in touch via email and phone calls. I am a healthcare provider myself and he has the interpersonal skills that makes him even more successful. He's the best!

Dr. Harkins was the only doctor who helped me with my surgery questions and options. He is very understanding and listens and he followed up with me & my hysterectomy surgery in the hospital and at home. I would recommend him to any of my friends who are in need of this thype surgery. I also needed an ov after 5 days from an allergic reaction and he saw me as soon as I called on the phone.

Dr. Harkins is a fantastic surgeon. My total hysterectomy was done all laparoscopically, and the recovery was amazingly easy. My pain was immediately relieved right after surgery - it was miraculous. Both he and PS Hershey Medical Center are the model of how it should be in medicine. I will never go anywhere else.
