My wife and I both MDVIP members and we contracted COVID on Memorial Day weekend. We were really frightened, but we were hesitant to call Dr. Harkins because it was Memorial Day. We called him because we just didn't know what to do. Well, he answered his cell phone right away and told us exactly what to do and what to take to help fight off the COVID. He took all the time we needed to… See more

I was scheduled for prostate cancer surgery on a Monday, but on the Saturday beforehand, Johns Hopkins called to tell me that they had not received my medical records (after Dr. Harkins sent them twice to the FAX number supplied). Turns out that the FAX number they gave us had been discontinued a decade earlier. We were out of town and had no practical way to get back to Dr. Harkins office… See more
Our VIP Dr. is James Harkins. He is one the most knowledgeable, thorough and skilled physician that we have ever encountered. I will never forget the day my husband called Jim. I couldn’t walk or stand without gasping for breath. I was in a crisis with COVID. He took me on as a patient immediately knowing I needed help. I was petrified to go to the hospital knowing it was filled with extremely… See more
I am alive today because of the medical expertise/personal care of Dr. James P. Harkins, MD. During the summer of 1995, my wife and I along with a friend from work and his wife were leaving, on Friday, to spend the week-end at the New Jersey shore. Because I was having coughing episodes and I thought it was the beginning of a cold, I stopped to see Dr. Harkins. After the initial examination, I… See more

My story will be short because Dr Harkins keeps me in top health. It has been more years than I can count, I could never leave his care. Thank you Dr James Harkins. 👏 Eunice
Dr. Harkins is our family doctor and also was my father's primary physician. Early on in his relationship with my father (over 25 years ago) he detected a heart issue which ended up with my father having quadruple bypass surgery. Great catch. He continued to care for my father through the years. Even as my father's health deteriorated, he was kind and caring towards him doing… See more
I have many stories about my doctor, Jim Harkins...too many to count. I have been with him for over 30
years. That does say something. He is always there for me and I have complete trust in his care.
A few years ago, I was having terrible stomach pain. I did call my GI doc but was told he could not see me for a week or so. I called Jim’s office and
was told to come in… See more
I have been going to DR. Harkins for over 30 years, when I see him at the office for any problem I feel like I am talking to one of my brothers. He takes the time to listen to everything you have to say, whatever it is family or non family. During my time with Dr Harkins has been rewarding and sometimes emotional, recently my wife was going thru a rough 5 months with some stomach issues that… See more
