Melani Harker, MD

Dr. Harker was very patient, welcoming and considerate of my needs. She took the time to listen to my health concerns and even spent a few minutes making a personal connection with me. She explained what she was doing step by step so I knew what to expect. I've had 4 gynecologists over the years due to multiple relocations and she was the best I've had.

Doctor Harker was so calm and assuring. She created an environment that allowed me to feel comfortable, confident and as relaxed as I could be.

Dr. Harker truly went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and confident during an in-office procedure. I highly recommend her for her compassion and skill.

Dr. Harker is both very knowledgeable and very caring. She listened carefully to my problems, showed a great deal of concern, and provided excellent care, as always! She is an excellent physician and I hope the U of U health system can retain her.

Best gyno appt I ever had

I felt unheard and like my feelings and concerns were dismissed with very generic responds.

Doctor and nurse were extremely apologetic about the wait time.

As a patient of Dr. Summers, I was transitioning to a new doctor. New doctor's approach is quite different, and I think more attention should have been paid to making the transition more comfortable. This appointment replaced an appointment that I had previously scheduled with Dr. Summers. At each of my six month Appointments, Dr. Summers would routinely do an exam. This new doctor had no intention of doing an exam, and that was not explained to be until I was in the room with her. She said she'd do it if I requested it, which made it sound like it was not part of the plan or her schedule. In light of the need to transition Dr. Summers' patients to someone else, I think the clinic should have gained a better understanding of each patient's needs before handing them over to someone else.

Dr. Harker is fantastic. She took the time to address all of my concerns.

Loved Dr Harker! Glad I ended up with her.

Dr. Harker is the best. She always answers my questions and gives me the information I need to feel better.

The doctor seemed very steady and informative and confident about handling my new pregnancy, however, there wasn't a lot of curiosity, concern, or counsel shown for my previous miscarriage. I am very worried about the forecast for my current pregnancy and would have felt more reassured if we had been able to discuss what potentially could be learned from the miscarriage.

Dr Harker was patient, respectful and provided by far the best care I have ever been given. She took the time to explain things to me and meet my needs and complete the procedure all while training a medical student. This is a provider who should be training others based on her medical knowledge as well as most Importantly respect for and treatment of everyone as an individual and to make them feel heard and cared for

Dr. Harker was personable and direct in her explanations. Overall a great provider.

Dr Harker took the time to review my chart prior to seeing me so she knew my health history. She explained my options as well as risks and benefits and gave me the opportunity to ask questions and to make my own informed decisions

Dr. Harker did a wonderful job showing us care and attention during our visit.

Great service

Dr.Harker was straightforward, honest, and compassionate. It was my first time meeting with her, and I felt like I was in great hands.

No personal touch whatsoever. I left there wondering why I even went.

Dr. Harker was wonderful, straight forward, and really helpful. Excited to have her as my advocate for my first pregnancy.

Dr. Harker was very kind and explained what she was doing as she completed the procedure. She made me feel very comfortable.

Dr. Harker is an amazing physician. I have seen her three times now, and she is always fully engaged and present, listens to my concerns and goes out of her way to provide compassionate, patient-centered medical care that addresses all of my needs. She is exceptional.

Excellent

Dr Harker was excellent, caring, concerned, informed about my health, thorough and knowledgeable.

Dr. Harder was very thorough explaining the side effects of my medication and explaining the different ways I could take my medication. She gave me all my options so I was able to make a decision about my care that works for me.

I felt discounted and not listened to about my condition. Details of my history were dismissed. All of this by the physician.

She was really quick to get through the visit and I don't feel like my concerns were addressed. A few questions were not answered. I left feeling frustrated that I was told something is normal when it's not normal for me. I will be visibly a different doctor for same issue soon

Excellent, very professional and knowledgeable

Melani is an amazing doctor, she cares about her patients and I can recommend her to anyone I love

My Dr was excellent. I was very anxious about my appointment and She was very nice, gentle, and explained everything as she went along, and made me feel not so afraid. I definitely want to stay with her.

I am happy with my checkups with Dr. Harker.

I loved the way Dr Harker spoke with me. She made it clear what we were doing, and she spoke in terms I could easily understand. Considering the circumstances, it was really nice having the clarity she gave.

Dr. Harker is great, and I'd strongly recommend her to anyone else. I've found her to be both kind and straightforward in addressing any questions and concerns.

Dr. Harker is very knowledgeable. Very open and clear. Always give the chance to choose.

The doctor forgot to enter RX for me and note for travel.

Dr. Harker always explains everything and never rushes me. she's the best!

She took the time to really listen to my concerns and was very open and honest about the issues I wanted to address. I felt like I was listened to and that meant a lot.

I really appreciated her thorough explanation of what I was going through & also how to best move forward.

very helpful and honest with me

it was okay, but the plan hasn't proceeded after the fact. I've received little to know information on what's going on or the potential risk to my health. I feel in the dark and abandoned during this stressful experience.

We have truly enjoyed Dr. Harker. I would recommend her to anyone. She remembers my husband and me, asks follow-up questions from previous appointments, has listened to every strange question I've had, her office responds to my messages quickly and she is all around great! Very happy we chose her for prenatal care.

I had concerns that I felt were brushed off. I felt like my hormones were off and when I told her she said that women have more estrogen than men and men have more testosterone than women. I learned that when I was a child and now I'm an adult with three children. she didn't listen. it was a frustrating visit. there was no more questions or even talk about reaching out to an endocrinologist for my hormone concerns. I've had good appointments with her, this one just wasn't.

I couldn't be happier with Dr. Harker, she's been absolutely fabulous through my entire pregnancy

I'm sure Dr. Harker is a good doc but I felt like she was checking a box and really didn't seem to explore much around my concerns. Maybe this is due to Covid.

explained I tested positive for pregnancy. gave me steps to confirm and see what is going on. unfortunately I had a early loss but whole staff has been prompt in responding to my questions and concerns in U-Chart and I felt I had and understood the next steps and plan

Dr Harker is always very pleasant and discusses everything with me.

Doctor asked questions but no patience for answers. I don't think I answered anything with any substance before being shut down in various ways. Very unclear how a doctor does their job without listening and wanting to get all information possible. Additionally, doctor eager to pass off any unwanted questions to my theoretical primary doctor, for which I asked for a referral but wasn't offered one.
