    "I was very impressed with Dr. Patrick Harmon. He explained what each of my medications were affecting & some that were cancelling each other out & some that were doing the same thing.

    Dr. Harmon's academic journey is marked by an impressive array of degrees and qualifications. He obtained his Bachelor of Arts from Memphis State University in 1994. His passions led him to earn a Master of Divinity (MDiv) from Reformed Theological Seminary in Orlando in 1997, and later, a Doctor of Ministry (DMin) from Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena.
