He was very personable, professional & an extremely friendly doctor. He delivered as promised, a very high standard of care, and made our process from the 1st visit to the surgery a very smooth one.

I am so glad he directed me to Dr. Bozuk. He is an artist & a great person. He was very personable, very informative, highly skilled, assured, and "available" .... even gave me his personal mobile number in case there may be an urgent question or issue before or afterwards. That is rare. This same hernia repair was attempted 1.5 years prior by a Dr. Edward Alfrey at Marin Health - he was a disaster. Stay away!! His "repair" failed completely, after obliterating my stomach & belly button. The hernia came back with a vengeance, the size of a tennis ball. Plus he was incredibly rude, condescending and dismissive throughout, like he hated his job, hated his patients and just wanted you gone. When I went back post-surgery to show him the recurrence, he told me "You'll just have to live with it." ... "it" being a tennis ball sized hernia. Only afterwards did I read many other "horror story" reviews of Dr. Edward Alfrey. Happy Ending: The next referring surgeon (mentioned above) immediately pronounced the hernia life threatening and referred me to Dr. Bozuk. In Feb '26 Dr. Bozuk used laparascopic surgery to go under the abdominal wall and close up with mesh, etc, from beneath. He also found two other small "budding" hernias he took care of as well. Surgery took 2.5 hours, I was out of the hospital 1.5 hours after completion of surgery. Results - like I never had a hernia. Nightmare ended. I feel very grateful and lucky to have found Dr. Bozuk. Highly recommended.

Dr. Harf has been my orthopedist for over 25 years. When I…read morefirst met him I couldn't walk, I was in intractable pain for a herniated disk which had been going on for about 8 years. Especially back then everybody said "oh no, don't get back surgery, you get the surgery, you're done.My uncle . . . my friend . . . scary" Finally it was pressing on the sciatic nerve so badly I couldn't walk. I thought my life was over. Since I was "done" anyway, I had the surgery. That was in 1989 I think. After recuperating and getting my muscles in shape I've been completely pain free. I was able to coach my kids baseball and soccer teams, be a soccer referee, running up and down the soccer field with a bunch of 16 year old "cheaters" was unthinkable before I met Dr. Harf. The guy knows his craft. Don't worry about the people here that don't get him. After getting to know him as his patient all these years, and having broken my body several times and having him fix me up every time, I love the guy. He's is a very decent human being and a fine Doctor, he's from New York and I know some Californians don't get New Yorkers, so that . . .. As another poster observed, you want "warm and fuzzy" get a dog, you need a good orthopedic Doctor? Don't be a pain in the a**, let Dr. Harf help you.

He walked out of my mom's surgery follow up appointment to take a phone call after pulling off her bandage in a non sterile environment, causing extreme pain and getting blood all over her clothes. Then he tried to put a brace over her exposed unhealed staples that would have rubbed them until I asked for him to do something else out of concern. He came into the room completely unprepared as if he hand even read her chart, asking us when the surgery was done after he pulled off her brace violently with out explaining anything he was doing. When my Mom said she was in pain he essentially said "well Of course your arm is broken" As I mentioned as we were asking questions about care and follow up he answered his phone and walked out and left us sitting there until one of the office aides came in and said we could go. We received no care instructions or any information other than 'come back in 2 weeks' from her. And being informed we owed them $20 for the brace. (Mind you they couldn't even run a credit card in their outdated office and demanded cash). He was also incredibly rude the day of the surgery and didn't walk us through everything and while his nurses were trying to explain he rushed them saying "can we get going and get on with this". This man needs to retire. Unfortunately this complaint will do nothing as people have been complaining about this man for years and he does not seem to have improved.

Å good friend of mine, also a patient of this office, had emergency triple bypass surgery. She had been a patient of this office for at least 10 years and they did not diagnosis it? Why not? That's a big health issue to overlook. One appt was with Ms. McFadden, who lied to me about the side effects of a certain medication. When I asked her the side effects, she said one word "NONE". I went to the website for the medication and there was a long list of side effects. When I questioned her via email she said she was doing the risk assessment evaluation. No, she wasn't, she quoted old lab results, not the newer, better lab results. Totally inept. Beware.

During that time, he has performed several procedures on myself and my husband. I can attest to the absolute caring and professional treatment we have received. As a matter of fact, I have personally recommended him to some of my close friends who have experienced Urological issues. While I was in the Hospital with Kidney issues his bedside manner and explanation of the medical part of my procedure gave me a very positive outlook on what the future would be for me. Before undergoing the operation at Santa Rosa Memorial, I felt confident that I would be okay simply because of his positive attitude toward the procedure.

His comment was "we don't have any male nurses" & "they have seen it a hundred times", neither comment of course eased any of my discomfort. After explaining the options, we chose one, and he advised that the first procedure would require a female to show me how it works. I was aghast, I just explained to him how uncomfortable I was about that. At any rate, I called back the following week and canceled the prescription & first initial instructional visit with his female assistant. I came away thinking, these doctor's aren't really interested in helping you address the core problem, it's more of a philosophy of hey try these drugs (even though they probably have never tried any themselves) and they will be your cure. But none of them are a cure, it's just a continual cycle of doctors who give what they think is best, and patients relying on medication that really doesn't address the core issues, or adequately treat the problem. I'm left frustrated with our healthcare, not just with doctor's, but insurance companies too. Insurance always seems to come between what your doctor & you agree is the best course of action, because insurance follows the cheapest path of care. Interjecting themselves between you & your doctor, as if they know better than you & your doctor, just isn't right. The state of healthcare in America is horrible, and that's a person talking from decades of healthcare coverage. Imagine people with no coverage, or MediCaid. Why can't we as a society push for cures, decent medical care, less pills, more research, a system where doctor's are not handcuffed by the final decision of insurance companies. Dr. Kaplan was a good doctor, but he's in the rabbit hole same as all the other doctors. Hamstrung by today's inadequacies in our medical care system. Would I recommend Dr. Kaplan, and go back to see him? Yes I would, he's the best in his field that I've met so far.
