Dr Harding is a very good surgeon and clearly communicated expectations after the procedure was completed.

Dr Richard Harding is an angel and saved my life, wish I could go in deep with all the details… I was shocked when he called me on a Saturday night to inform me that the office phone was down and that someone would return my call later after I left a voicemail while the office phone had some issues. He truly knows what he is doing and may God bless him and his family and give him a long and healthy life so he can save many patients, amen!
Jodi was texting or calling me with updates and I felt like I was the only patient :), perfect communication!
His team is amazing and I’m glad to have them for my procedure and would recommend them to everyone.
Thanks!

I had a great experience with the Thyroid RFA procedure. Before the Thyroid RFA procedure, I was having issues swallowing and experiencing a frequent cough. However, after undergoing the Thyroid RFA procedure, my nodule shrunk and my symptoms have completely resolved. I felt very comfortable during the procedure. To me, pursuing the option of RFA made a lot more sense than conventional surgery, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. I felt like I was in good hands with Dr. Harding- he is phenomenal!

I had a great experience with the Thyroid RFA. I underwent Thyroid RFA for a hyper-functioning thyroid nodule. Since the surgery, I no longer have to take daily medication for hyperthyroidism. My symptoms have all significantly improved since undergoing the Thyroid RFA procedure. The team at the Thyroid Nodule Treatment Center were all very supportive. Dr. Harding always made feel seen and heard. The medical staff provided great encouragement during the procedure. I appreciated the in-office ultrasound for real-time feedback on the reduction in size of the thyroid nodule. The ability to preserve your thyroid function by avoiding surgery is absolutely worth it!"

I developed a large nodule on my neck that was making it difficult for me to swallow. This growth made it uncomfortable to exercise as well since it affected my breathing.Dr. Harding performed RFA on my nodule, and almost instantly, I felt like a new person. My discomfort and insecurity disappeared that same day and the nodule was noticeably smaller within the first week.It has been 8 months since the procedure and my nodule has been reduced by about 75%. I don't notice it at all, nor do my family or friends. Getting this procedure done has made my life more enjoyable and given me back my confidence. I am grateful for Dr. Harding and would recommend RFA to anyone in my situation.The procedure itself was painless and fairly quick.

I can’t speak highly enough about Dr. Harding and his staff. After receiving a shocking and scary thyroid cancer diagnosis, I contacted his office. Dr. Harding quickly got me in for a consult, answered our countless questions and quickly put us at ease. Before I knew it, I was out of surgery with a nearly painless thyroidectomy and lymph node removal. I had minimal pain (surprisingly!), and felt great within a couple days. My scarring is minimal a few weeks out and as time passes I expect it to be unnoticeable. No one wants cancer, but if this happens to you you definitely want Dr. Harding in your corner. He’s the best! Highly recommended.
12/24 I’m back again posting another great review for Dr. Harding. I was told I needed to have my gallbladder removed. After meeting with Dr. Harding, he told me he was not going to be doing my surgery. He gave me advice on my diet and some other recommendations and sent me on my way. How many surgeons are honest enough to tell you that you are not ready for an unneeded surgery? Always a fan of Dr. Harding!

I chose the Thyroid RFA procedure, as opposed to traditional surgery, for several reasons. For one, I wanted to purse a minimally invasive route. Additionally, I wanted to avoid surgery in the hospital setting, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. I had no apprehension with pursuing Thyroid RFA. The procedure itself was painless once the local anesthetic took effect, and afterwards I only had minor neck tenderness that improved with Tylenol. Since the procedure, my vocal hoarseness and swallowing has improved significantly. Dr. Harding is very knowledgeable and the staff are professional. I would recommend getting evaluated to determine if you are a good candidate for the Thyroid RFA procedure.

Dr. Harding performed RFA on my large, benign thyroid nodule in March of 2020. From my first visit with him, I knew I was in good hands. He took a lot of time with me explaining the procedure and answering all of my questions. He is very professional but also friendly. While in his care, I have felt that he genuinely is concerned about my well being. My RFA procedure went very well. I was only his 3rd patient in the U.S. to have RFA but he and his staff put me at ease. I knew I was lucky to have this well renowned surgeon in my hometown of Phoenix willing to give me the option of RFA over thyroid removal! My nodule has shrunk about 80% in volume over the past year and I no longer have a deviated windpipe causing choking nor the potential for further complications. I am so thankful I was able to preserve my thyroid and avoid surgery!
