He's extremely attentive, GREAT with both my daughters, always makes it a point to make them comfortable the very second he walks in the door, always a smile on his face, great bedside manner, actually cares about his patients, cares to listen to me as a parent and helps ease my mind on concerns I have and always has a great plan in place and explains all of it to me every time we've had a visit. He's a day and night difference between our last ped at Duly. I can't say enough about him, he's just wonderful.

I have dealt with a ton of different types of doctors since my son has been born but Dr. Bill is in a league of his own. He is so engaging with my son and gets on his level. Dr. Bill makes going to the doctor a positive experience instead of a scary/negative one. I feel very lucky to have Dr. Bill as my son's pediatrician. He is a great listener, he sincerely cares and always comes up with a solution. 50/10

His bedside manner is amazing. He listens to all of my concerns and answers every question I have. He doesn't make me feel like a helicopter parent or like I'm over reacting, and he's also amazing with my girls. My oldest thinks he's so funny and normally doesn't like doctors but she really trusts him and enjoys each visit with him even when they are sick visits and she isn't feeling her best. And we just established care with him for my youngest and he was amazing with her as well. I'm so glad we switched from Duly. You can tell Dr. Harenburg was meant to be a pediatrician.
