"My care was the best that I could have ever imagined. From the very beginning, Dr. Harness and his staff told me that I was in the best possible place to receive the most advanced treatment for breast cancer, and I really was. Thank you for everything." -Claudia, age 33

"I Love the Place! I would like to be a spokesperson for the St. Joseph Comprehensive Breast Center!

"At the same time I was diagnosed, a friend was diagnosed with a brain tumor. I watched him suffer with fragmented care, shuffled between providers while he lost valuable treatment time. I prayed to God and thanked him for sending me to Dr. Harness-my angel. One of many angels on my journey.

My friend died last May. His widow had an abnormal mammogram last month and began to unravel emotionally. I brought her to the Comprehensive Breast Center where they got her an appointment within days. Dr. Harness and staff comforted her with just their words and touch.

Luckily the mass was a cyst that Dr. Harness was able to drain in the office. But the manner in which he treated my friend was life-changing. She has turned a corner and is moving on because of the experience." -Angie, age 46

"I was diagnosed very quickly and Dr. Harness was honest about his concern from the first day he saw my lump. His compassion is unlike that I've ever seen in a physician and is a huge contributor to my successful survival." -Angela, age 46

"The Comprehensive Breast Center let me bring in my husband plus anyone else I wanted included when Dr. Harness explained surgery and treatment options. We were able to tape the meetings, which was very helpful.

In my 64 years, I've never seen a doctor with such caring and patience. Dr. Harness makes you very comfortable and at ease with your condition. We came in confused and scared and left with a calm reassurance of being under the care of a highly qualified, thorough and caring professional." -Gail, age 64

"When I was first diagnosed with breast cancer I had treatment and surgery with another physician. At that office, I felt uninformed by him and his staff. They treated the patient very coldly. They did not return phone calls, and there were times that I had to go into the office just to get a response. In other words, I had to beg for service.

Once I transferred my care to Dr. Harness I was kept informed and was treated with dignity. They have excellent customer service and I have recommended the St. Joseph Comprehensive Breast Center many times. My experience in the hospital was excellent, and my radiologists were very thorough and professional." -Mary, age 65

"I greatly appreciate the forward thinking approach to care and the concern for the overall patient experience. I would highly recommend St. Joseph Breast Center for the quality and consistency of care-with the holistic aspect an added and valued bonus. Kudos to the effective and efficient staff who make a difficult experience manageable." -Joy, age 42

"Dr. Jay Harness and his staff were absolutely wonderful. Very helpful and supportive. There is no doubt in my mind that I would go anywhere else besides Dr. Harness and his staff at the Comprehensive Breast Center. It was a scary experience having to go in at all. But once I was there, they all made me feel at ease." -Dana Marie, age ??

"Overall, I couldn't say enough about the care I received with Dr. Harness, the other physicians, nurses and staff at the Comprehensive Breast Center. Everyone has been helpful, wonderful, courteous and warm. I have wonderful doctors looking after me and they all took such good care of me. Thank You." -Barbara, age ??

"I knew within minutes of meeting Dr. Harness and his staff that I had found the right doctor. He made me feel very secure and comfortable in his knowledge and expertise. He is very compassionate and caring. He has been wonderful, and his staff is awesome." -Jill, age 39
