Patient Reviews
Aug 09, 2024
I am very grateful and quick to relate that Dr. Harkness saved my life during a ruptured artery event at Tulane Lakeview Hospital. I arrived via EMS with no records or medical history with only Dr. Harkness's calm and firm grip to steady myself and begin an unexpected but full recovery from a nearly fatal condition. He, Dr. Gensler, and Dr. Arena, all at Tulane/Lakeview enjoy my deepest gratitude and respect. You and your loved ones will be fortunate to be treated by Dr. Harkness.
