I identify as LGBT and I never once felt judged or worried when I explained this. Living in Utah, this can be hard to find in a clinic and provider. Thank you!
Very thorough, explained things well, seemed very knowledgeable about current recommendations.
She is fantastic. Dynamic, sharp kind. Worth waiting for appointments.
I did not find her to be helpful or considerate of the concerns I have going through perimenopause. She made me feel like I was overreacting. I don't want to treat myself unnecessarily. But I do want to understand what to look for, where to be concerned and what to do.
Pleasant and personable and thorough.
Melani is amazing - she genuinly cares and understands.
Dr. Harker always approaches my care with understanding and sensitivity. This visit, she gave us bad news with kindness, which was very appreciated. We are lucky to have her.
I just want to say a heartfelt thank you to my OB-GYN for the incredible care throughout my pregnancy and delivery. From the first appointment to the moment I held my baby in my arms, I felt supported, heard, and genuinely cared for. Shes always patient with my questions, reassuring when I was nervous, and made sure everything went smoothly. I couldn't have asked for a better doctor to walk this journey with me. Highly recommend to any expecting mamas out there ' you'll be in great hands!
Dr. Harker is professional, efficient, and empathetic.
Dr Harker has been WONDERFUL!!! I'm so glad she's my OB-GYN for my first pregnancy. She's answered all my questions and included me in every decision. She's made me feel so comfortable throughout the process and has recommended great classes and resources.

Dr. Harker is very knowledgeable and made great suggestions to resolve a concern I had. This was a nice first experience!
Dr. Harker is a great doctor, she knows her stuff, but more importantly she is compassionate, empathetic and has a genuine concern for the well-being of her patients.
I feel like a valued member of my care team. I not only receive answers to my questions, I'm actually educated about them so I can make informed decisions about my healthcare.
Dr Harker listens carefully and gets to the point to answer questions clearly and completely
