David B Harding, MD

I have been seeing Doctor Harding for 15 years. He has been caring, effective, and life saving. I could not ask for more from a physician and I am dreading the day I have to find a new one. I have always been able to get an emergency appt which is important for me. I’ve never had issues with the prescribing of mess from him or his associates. Any concerns or interactions are always addressed immediately. Just an all around wonderful practice to go to.

I’ve been going to Dr. Harding’s office for about 15 years now and, while I did not have issues for the most part, I have had some really negative experiences that have caused me to seek my medical care elsewhere.
I’ve been prescribed medication that I have a contraindication for (and they knew about the contraindication as I had seen them about that as well). I’ve also had Dr. Harding call to let me know that my results were back with nothing to worry about, and then had the admin staff call me later to talk about the surgery I would need.
I’ve also had issues with the radiology people screwing up my test prep, causing a 20 minute procedure to instead take 2 hours! While I understand the radiology people are not part of his office, they are part of the care team.

I’ve been going to DR. Harding since i was around 5 yrs old and now im 30!
everyone is so nice there and I highly recommend if you need a doctor who knows what hes talking about, then please go see DR. Harding!

I was floored by the other reviews for Dr. Harding! Maybe because I see his intern «Bunny». They do not prescribe meds unless I ask for or about them, and they always keep up on my blood work and health. They always take the time to make sure my life is going well as well as my health, since they are so intertwined. Additionally they are helpful in guiding me to the right place. The only complaint I have ever had is my treatment between when i was pregnant as I was no longer his paitent but not yet a patient of the OB/​GYN either. So I ended up in the hospital becasue I could not stop vomiting. I would advise not only his staff but the staff at Montgomery General that excessive vomiting during pregnancy is NOT being dramatic and I DO NOT need to eat crackers and lay down (which were the exact words I got from both his office AND montgomery general) its called Hyperemesis and I lost 28 pounds during my pregnancy from being unable to hold food down. Granted they did refer me to an excellent OB but they should inform the staff that when a patient calls in on a friday they arent trying to mess up your weekend, they are trying to stop vomiting and being called dramatic is ignorant and unprofessional but seems to be an issue around the whole complex over there including the hospital and Emergency Room!

Good old –fashion Doctor who takes a genuine interest in his patients health and well being. Reminds me of the turn-​of the century type of doctor who used to make house calls. Has a calming demeanor. Does not treat patients like a number but asks AND REMEMBERS individual life events.
My family used to go to his office in Mt Airy but closed it a few years ago. We felt so comfortable with Dr. Harding that we decided to follow him to the Olney office which is 30 minutes away.
I do agree with the other reviewer, to a degree, that Dr. Harding is quick to prescribe medicine that sometimes treats the symptoms and not always the root cause. This may be an overly-​compassionate desire to relieve discomfort in his patients. In any case, I believe everyone has to be their own health care advocate by asking lots of questions or have someone to act in that capacity.
I was impressed to learn that Dr. Harding shares his time and talents with others who are less fortunate by financing his own mission trips abroad to assist patients in under-​privileged countries who cannot afford or do not have access to modern health care. This speaks volumes to his compassion.
My only other complaint is that I cannot remember the offices hours which are consistent week to week but not standard day-​to-​day — but that is my issue as I cannot instantly the office hours for any given day but instead have to reference it. But that is a minor inconvenience and more of a burden on my memory than anything else.
