“Unfortunately I’ve had a lot of issues with my Cervical Spine. I’ve seen a lot of Doctors because of it. Dr. Harrop is exactly what a Doctor should be. He’s brilliant and shows compassion towards his Patient’s. At Jefferson it’s a University Hospital so they work as a team, you need this team approach especially if you have multiple, complex issues. They have a lot of offices as well for convenience. I trust nobody else with my care.” – Crystal Lite
