Dr. Harding performed my total thyroidectomy and Cholecystectomy in 2024. I was very pleased with both. Him and his staff are very professional and compassionate. One of my surgeries was at the hospital and the other was at the surgery center, the staff at both places were very friendly. I would highly recommend him to my friends and family.

Excellent surgeon! Would recommend Dr. Harding to friends and family. Does excellent work and is a very nice person to talk with. Can not recommend him more highly. Takes the time to explain everything to you and gives you copies of the recorded surgery and pathology results.

I was referred to Dr. Harding for thyroid nodules, which he successfully removed without pain or noticeable scar. His manner is cordial and friendly. I felt comfortable and assured by his manner that neither minimized the significance of the diagnosis nor dramatized the work he performed. His staff was also helpful and agreeable. Dr. Harding's office is a professional environment that allowed me to feel confident in the success of the surgery. I recommend him without reservation.
Becky G., Phoenix, AZ
A very good doctor who takes the time to explain what is going on and explains what to expect. Great surgeon (left only a tiny scar on me that may go totally away). Has a very good sense of humor and has an awesome assistant (Bridget).
Came and visited every day I was in the hospital and I really liked that!
Bill C., Mesa, AZ
A few months ago after a biopsy on a Thyroid nodule, I was told by a neck surgeon that it needed to be removed asap. I was uncomfortable about this diagnosis and the way it was explained to me that I decided to do a little research and see what information I could find on my own. That is when I came across Dr Harding on You Tube. I was so impressed with him that I made an appt and a few weeks later I drove from So CA to Phoenix, AZ to see him. I knew my insurance would not cover me in AZ but after having seen him on You Tube I knew he was the Dr I needed to see. I saw him yesterday 8/1, and it was the most awesome and informative meeting I have ever had with a Dr. I am 79 and I have known many Drs but Dr Harding is beyond compare. He performed another biopsy and totally and humbly explained my situation in a way that only a great Dr could. I will have to wait a few weeks for the biopsy report, but whatever the out come, I left there totally relaxed, confident and knowing that I had just seen a great Dr. I don't know about you all, but I never walked out of a Drs office and felt that way.

My experience with Dr. Harding and his office staff has been excellent. He is very thorough and I feel I am in good hands. He and his staff are very pleasant.

Loved Dr. Harding. He performed my Parathyroid surgery two weeks ago and I feel great.
Candice Colson
Dr. Richard Harding is the most incredible surgeon ever! I had to have my thyroid removed and his skill made surgery a breeze! I had absolutely no pain from the surgery! I never had to take any pain medication at all! My scar is very small and in the crease in my lower neck so you can't even tell I've had surgery! He's very knowledgeable and he's very pleasant! I highy recommend this wonderful surgeon!!!

I just had parathyroid surgery and Dr. Harding and it was a very smooth and uneventful surgery...which is what you want if your are having surgery. He was professional, skilled, extremely knowledgeable and caring! I highly recommend him and his staff!
Thank you, Dr. Harding. Cindy
Cindy V. Scottsdale, AZ
Dr. Harding is a top rated doctor, and one of the best in his field!! He performed a Total Thyroidectomy on me after I had been dealing with a complex form of Graves Disease/Hyperthyroidism for many years. I had minimal scarring, and I was beyond impressed with the results. He has excellent bedside manners and explains everything in detail (without it being too technical), and allows time for questions. I would highly recommend Dr. Harding to anyone who is considering a Thyroidectomy!

Dr. Harding removed a parathyroid almost two years ago. I have two years worth of blood testing to know all is still good after surgery. The area on my neck looked bad for a little while (month maybe), but it didn't take much time before I couldn't even see it. It is amazing that no one would know I had any surgery and I have a very long neck, so it would show. There was an issue with billing at the hospital, but not really an office issue and was resolved. Because the surgery was so great and would get even more than 5 stars I won't take down any stars for anything.
Deb L., Gilbert, AZ
Dr. Harding is a very thorough doctor. He takes the time to explain all options and what the side effects may be given each option. He gives you his expert opinion on what he believes the best option is for your case. I feel very comfortable taking his advice.
Donna Beson
I cannot speak highly enough of Dr. Richard Harding and their entire team. From the very first appointment, the experience has been exceptional. Dr.Harding is not only highly skilled and knowledgeable but also kind, compassionate, and attentive to every concern I had.
They took the time to thoroughly explain everything, answer all my questions, and make sure I felt comfortable and informed every step of the way. I truly appreciated their calm demeanor and genuine care—it made a big difference in my overall experience.
The level of professionalism and dedication to patient well-being is outstanding. I felt supported and respected throughout the entire process.
If you're looking for a physician who combines top-tier expertise with genuine compassion, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Harding . They made a challenging time much easier and treated me with the utmost care.
Elena Mastov
RN would recommend this surgeon!
I’ve been an RN for over 45 years and am particular about my doctors. I would recommend Dr. Harding. He explains things well, did a beautiful incision and everything went exactly as he said it would. He has a friendly bedside manner and great surgical skills. This particular surgery is totally dependent upon the skill of the surgeon. So you want a Doctor who does this a lot and does it well.

Amazingly qualified! Dr. Harding was the answer to our prayers. My sister had been suffering with Cushing Disease and he quickly had her in surgery and she woke up so improved. Highly recommend him!
Healthgrades Review
I was very impressed with Dr. Harding. I had a recent partial thyroidectomy. This was the easiest surgery I've every had, and I've had more than 5 major surgeries. Dr Harding is very professional and answered all questions. Surgery was on time and I was home about 5 hrs later. I had very little pain and it was controlled with a couple Tylenol. It's been a couple weeks since surgery and I can hardly see a scar. I had researched a lot before selecting Dr. Harding and was not disappointed.

Dr Harding performed my parathyroidectomy. From initial consultation through post-surgical follow up, he was an ideal physician--thorough, knowledgeable, patient, kind, and compassionate. His surgical skills are outstanding. I can't recommend him highly enough.
Healthgrades Reviews
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!

Dr. Harding is the best Thyroid Surgeon! I needed a partial removal of my thyroid. He explained the procedure to me thoroughly before the operation. After the procedure, I stayed at the hospital overnight. I never experienced any pain, days later I was back to my old routine. I am 72 years old, It's now been 25 days since I had the procedure done and I feel great. I recommend Dr. Harding, he is the best!

Joe D. in Chandler, AZ
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!
Joseph A.
Dr. Harding is a very caring and thoughtful doctor. He always has a nice smile on his face and carries a good energy. He was willing to work with me the patient in order to figure out a “game plan”. Very happy I have been able to get treatment through him and not another doctor. All the other ones in the past have never actually fixed my issue and were rude.
Justin & Kacee Aguirre
Dr Harding is a very good surgeon and clearly communicated expectations after the procedure was completed.

I was referred out from a friend to Dr Harding. It was the best choice that I could have made. He is very knowledgeable and caring and the staff made me feel at ease. He books up fast so if you want to receive great care, you should call.

Dr. Harding performed my total thyroidectomy and did amazing ! From office visits to the Operating room and aftercare him and his staff have been there the entire way guiding me and answering any questions or concerns I had along the way. I am so happy with my surgery outcome and my incision is healing perfectly! He hid it perfectly in the crease of my neck! 10/10 recommend him and his wonderful team !
Kiara L., SoMa, San Francisco, CA
When my endocrinologist referred me to Dr. Harding for a total thyroidectomy, he told me he was the best surgeon in the Valley. I have to agree wholeheartedly. I felt comfortable with Dr. Harding immediately. He took the time to explain everything in detail and answered every one of my questions. Surgery went smoothly and everything turned out just as he said it would. Dr. Harding is not only an excellent surgeon, he is a wonderful person too. His office staff is awesome as well. Thank you!

Dr Harding is awesome. After 6 months with the runaround at Mayo Clinic, Dr Harding saw me on a Monday and I had surgery on Thursday.

Dr. Harding has done two separate surgeries for me over the years and I am more than perfectly pleased by his skill, knowledge, accessibility and explanations. My surgeries healed quickly and without a lot of discomfort.

Lisa Lawrence
Dr. Harding is an excellent surgeon! He performed a total Thyroidectomy. I had a large goiter with many nodules. Dr. Harding removed it through an inch long incision that is unnoticeable with minimal scaring and it's only been 1 month. He explained the whole procedure and made me feel very secure in his abilities as an individual and surgeon. I would recommend him to all who are looking for a qualified surgeon with a caring personality.

From my first visit with Dr. Harding to my post-op follow up visit I felt that I was working with an experienced and professional surgeon! He took the time to explain everything to me and was able to help me get all the pre-op requirements taken care of at my first appointment!!! I was totally confident at the surgery where my thyroid was removed and never needed anything but tylenol for a day after returning home. My scar is healing well and soon I will not be able to see it at all!!!!
I would recommend anyone who needs thyroid surgery to go to Dr. Harding. You deserve the best!!!!!

Madeline P., Goodyear, AZ
I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer by my ENT at the end of March 2024. I was referred to Dr. Harding. I went to go see him for a consult. Needless to say I was scared and confused. He eased my anxiety right away. After my visit with him I knew I was in the right place. I wasn’t as scared as I first was when I arrived. I saw him early April and had my total thyroidectomy on 5/13/24. He answered all my questions and addressed my concerns. He is very kind and has a gentle demeanor about him. I am so grateful that he was my surgeon through all of this.
Dr. Harding thank you for all you’ve done for me. You will be forever in my heart.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Romero
Maria Romero
Dr. Harding was very thorough in his explanation of my problem and the procedure he would perform. He checked my thyroids, as well as my parathyroids prior to the parathyroid surgery. The surgery went perfectly well and I have a very small scar, which probably will not show after complete healing.

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.

I had a Lipoma on my sacroiliac and no one knew what to do to help me. When I went to Dr. Harding he knew what it was and said he knew how to help me. He did my surgery, there were no complications and I healed well.

he performed my thyroid surgery, was VERY knowledgeable and so was all of the staff. everyone had answers for me and reassured me at a very scary time!
RateMds Review
First, let me say that Dr. Harding and his office staff fully deserve the five star rating I've given. For my first consultation, the doctor scheduled ample time to describe, in detail, what needed to be done and how the surgery would be. He answered every question and patiently went into as much detail as needed to ensure I was fully informed.
When the surgery had unexpected complications, the doctor took the extra time needed to address them, and the operation was a huge success.
His office staff are friendly, attentive and very professional.
You cannot get a better doctor.
RateMds Review
I was amazed that DR Harding took the time and actually treated me. I went in for an initial consult and I got so much more. I wanted to cry because he was going to give me answers as I’ve been going from Dr to Dr for the issue. I would send anyone I know to him if they needed his expertise. So grateful for him and his nurse was very supportive and had me laughing so I wasn’t as anxious. Loved the nurse - since I was alone, she was my support.

Robert P in Phoenix, AZ
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.
Robert S.
From walking in the door, everyone was so friendly. I didn't even wait 5 minutes before they took me back. Dr. Harding was very personable. He looked over my records and knew exactly what needed to be done. 5 stars all the way around.
Robin Harrison
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!"
Rosemary C.
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!
Sandy C.
Excellent staff and physician. Staff went above to contact my insurance to work out the referral that was incorrect. Dr. Harding with a great sense of humor and patience. Friendly and will take the time to listen and answer questions. Recommend.
Sandy S., Gilbert, AZ
Dr. Harding recently removed a large adenoma from my husband's parathyroid. Both the surgery and recovery were extremely successful. We can understand why Dr. Harding is continually voted as one of the top surgeons in his field. We were also impressed by his excellent communication skills. He easily relates to his patients answering any questions they might have while explaining in simple terms all elements of the upcoming procedure as well as the recovery. Thanks Dr. Harding for being there for us.

Richard Harding, is a fine Surgeon, knowledgeable concise to the point delivers it in his own words. You can understand, with a reasonable professional bedside manner, he's busy because he has a reputation of being a healer, I would recommend him for any of your surgeries that he specializes in. He works out of a 1930's old renovated home in the downtown Phoenix district. It's very comfortable and the staff is very professional. What's nice about his business is I didn't feel like I was being treated like a 21st-century medical profession where everything is so sterile and by the book and insurance , insurance. It was kind of like when I used to visit the doctor when I was a kid, very friendly staff - very friendly and knowledgeable.
Scott J., Phoenix, AZ
Dr. Harding is the best physician I've used. He scheduled and spent a surprising amount of time to explain my planned surgery in detail, and answered every one of my many questions. On the day of surgery, he had every potential issue covered, and spent extra time during the operation when unexpected challenges arose. Post-op follow up was just as thorough as pre-op, and I feel I couldn't have been in better hands. Highly recommended.

I was very pleased with my experience with what could’ve been a very scary situation- thyroid cancer diagnosis. Dr. Harding and staff were very professional, informative and compassionate I will and have recommended him to others whom I know who have thyroid nodule issues. My surgery went smoothly and I’m very pleased with my healing process. The surgery scar was perfectly placed to look like it is not even there, just another crease in my neck. The Surgery team from the assistant Dr. to the anesthesiologist, were all very cordial and professional. It was comforting to hear their knowledge they shared in informing me of the next steps, also in answering questions I or my husband had.
Shenetta Harmon
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.

Dr Harding is the best Doctor/surgeon I have ever been to. He is caring and thorough in everything he does. It took me over a year to finally have my surgery and he worked with me every step of the way. When the day came to have surgery I had no stress and felt completely comfortable which is rare for having surgery. Everyone on his staff from the front desk to his surgery scheduler are awesome. My only regret as I know longer need a endroconologist so I won’t be seeing him again

I've had two surgeries with Dr Harding and both times I've gotten the best care possible. He explained everything to me in detail and made sure I understood. I would definetly recommend him to people.I do feel that the front office needs to have a privacy glass so that the patients can not hear what the receptionist are saying. I also like to say Dr Harding's receptionist Vera is great and I appreciated all her help my first time in the office.

After messing around with some doctors back in Iowa for three months trying to identify which of my parathyroids was not functioning properly, I decided to make the move to Arizona and meet with Dr. Harding. I had researched surgeons out here very thoroughly and Dr. Harding was one of the top three rated surgeons in the area. Upon my first visit, he was able to identify which parathyroid was functioning improperly and we scheduled surgery. The surgery went extremely well and he actually remove two of my parathyroids and a small tumor. I must say I have not felt better in a long time. I have 100% confidence and Dr. Harding’s ability and would highly recommend him if you are needing surgery.

My experiences with this doctor in this practice were very good. Dr Harding is an excellent physician who takes time to answer your questions and reassure you that you are in good hands. My surgery, wound care, healing were all up to par. He was recommended to me by my endocrinologist, and as an RN, I would recommend Dr Harding to anyone who’s looking for an endocrinology surgery. My surgery was removal of parathyroid gland. Everything went well, and the surgical outcome was great. Everything went exactly as the doctor said it would, and there were no surprises.

Dr. Harding performed surgery on me to remove a parathyroid gland about a year ago. That was my first surgery so I was quite nervous. However, Dr. Harding's bedside manner put me right at ease. After the surgery the scar was hardly visible. I feel great and would definitely recommend Dr. Harding for this type of surgery.

Dr Harding took the time to explain everything thoroughly about my surgery and what to expect. His assistant was just as thorough and compassionate as Dr Harding. I appreciated how he kept my husband updated throughout the process. Highly recommend Dr Harding and feel grateful to have him as my surgeon.

Dr. Harding answered all my questions and more prior to surgery. He explained what to expect, listened patiently to my concerns and responded 100% to my questions. He and his staff were wonderful. The operating team came in to again explain what would be happening, and came out during surgery to let family know how it was going. I will be going back next week for the post-follow-up. I didn't need any pain medication and was eating normally that night. He and his team did a fantastic job on me.

My visit with Dr. Harding went well, everything about how my surgery was going to take place was actually like he described it would be. Surgery went well and I am on the mend. My follow up visit went well and if I have any issues later on, I can just come back to the office and Dr. Harding would take the necessary steps at that time. Wonderful office environment and the nurses and staff were extremely helpful!

Dr Harding performed hernia surgery and did an excellent job. He also detected an enlarged lymph node and immediately performed a biopsy. His concern and attention was crucial in detection of my lymphoma.
WebMD Review
It wasn’t easy to make a timely appointment, but doctor took me in between his patients and surprised me not only with a simple check but a thorough one with ultrasound and couple of biopsies right there on spot. It’s so great to be in the hands of an expert!!! All the praises to God for directing me to a right place!
