Dr. Harrod is very professional, informative, and easy to talk to. My heel was feeling much better the very next day after the appointment.

Dr Harrod and his staff are awesome.
Some of the most beautiful people in a time of trauma. I have never felt so comfortable with a group of people as those at BGO.
Highly, highly recommend them.
A true blessing.

Dr Harrod concern for his patient shows. It was my first time having to visit Bluegrass for a sudden foot issue. Dr. Harrod wasted no time displaying care while understanding my issue. He did not schedule be for a second consult visit just to run up another bill. He quickly diagnosed and had a solution to my problem. I needed a shot directly in the area to help with my pain. He explain what I should expect over the next weeks and then said he would want to check my progress in a few weeks. He is a great Doctor who treats all of his patients the same. Great 1st visit. I recommend him highly.

Dr. Harrod was very professional and took time to listen to my concerns. He asked several questions and then explained the nature of the problem with my feet and the course of action that he felt was the best for me.

Dr. Harrod and his entire staff exceeded my high expectations. I would make the trip from Charleston, SC for any Ortho care.
I felt like I was in the best possible hands from my first appointment.

After looking at x-rays and learning about my ability to walk well in wide athletic shoes, he recommended that I not have surgery at this time. Since I have arthritis in my big toe joint, the recovery time would be 3-4 months. I was surprised but pleased that Dr. Harrod told me that he could fix my bunion problem, but advised me to wait until I was having difficulty walking. I was very impressed with the efficiency of the staff at Bluegrass Orthopaedics, and with Dr. Harrod's professionalism.
