Worst doctor, does not seem to know what he is talking about. As a professional in Healthcare, I have proper background to interpret the information he relayed to us during our appointment, and to say the least, Dr. Harding is very misleading in the way he explains test results and does not care for his patients.

My husband's PSA test results were a bit high, so our primary doctor sent us to Dr. Harding. My husband went in for prostate biopsies on 2/2/21. I had been down this same road with my ex husband 12 years ago....he was diagnosed at 45 with an aggressive form of prostate cancer that almost took his life, and left my children without a father. Today, 2/9/21, I receive a call from his office that they have my husband's biopsy results, but won't tell us until Friday...3 days from now, whether or not he has cancer. I told Dr. Harding's office that we were both very afraid, and just needed to know if it was cancer or not. They said they would contact Dr. Harding and let him know. As I am on my husband's records as his legal primary contact for all medical information and test results, Dr. Harding called my phone. He acted irritated and asked for my husband, asked where he was, asked for his cell number. I told him that I was on record as his legal medical contact and his first response was "I feel like I've been ambushed!!!...I was told that I was calling your husband at this number!" First...while we wait for a cancer diagnosis, the doctor's feelings are not our concern. Second, what his office told him about who he was calling is not my responsibility. He told me that my husband has cancer and asked me to apologize to my husband for not sharing this news with him directly. I think that he may not know that my husband agreed to that when he legally assigned me his legal contact for medical test results. He was being cold, irritated, and uncaring. My veterinarian is more compassionate when receiving test results for my dog, even though my dog has no idea that we are waiting for test results that could threaten my dog's life.....as human beings, we know!! Then I come to find out that he has had the test results since LAST THURSDAY! So, while my family has been unable to sleep and frightened for 8 days, Dr. Harding waited 6 days to call us to tell us we had to wait three more days for results. Considering that the call today didn't say that the results were all good, we knew the news was not good. Dr. Harding has lost all connection or ability to empathize with his patients and what they are going through. He could only think about HIS FEELINGS and his irritation as he delivered the news to me that my husband has cancer. He obviously had five minutes to call today, or 5 minutes to call six days ago, to give us the worrisome results, but he just didn't even consider what his patient, or his patient's family was going through. Dr. Harding, you're fired! Get out of the field of medicine. You do not have the compassion to do the job. There are too many caring doctors out there....we don't need doctor's like you.
