The Breast Center values Dr. Harms’s service with the Center. We are going to miss Dr. Harms as part of our everyday care team. We are grateful to him for choosing to move back to Arkansas and practice at The Breast Center back in 2003 when we were first getting established, and for all of his years of service and leadership to our practice. Dr. Harms helped The Breast Center achieve national accreditation and a reputation for excellence in breast care.
Dr. Harms shared these words with his patients:
Helping build The Breast Center of Northwest Arkansas, a MANA clinic, over the past 16 years has been a work of love. Circumstances of the past few months have made it apparent that I should retire for the sake of my health. I have retired effective October 1, 2020. It is reassuring to know that I leave the practice in the best of hands with an expert and conscientious staff that are capable of providing you with the highest quality care and advice. While I hope that you will continue to utilize The Breast Center of Northwest Arkansas, if you would like to have your records transferred, please contact them at 479-442-6266.
It has been a pleasure and privilege to provide care for you over the years. It has been an experience that I will always treasure. I plan to remain in Fayetteville and will continue to support and advise as needed for the future of the Breast Center.
Best wishes,
Steven E. Harms, MD, FACR, FSBI
