Dr. Harlan earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Biology at the University of California, Irvine in 2011. As part of his school studies, he completed a year of clinical rotations at the University of Minnesota Veterinary Medical Center and went on to graduate with High Honors from Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine in 2016. His interest in practice includes soft tissue and orthopedic surgery, in addition to internal medicine. He also focuses on applying advanced and less-invasive diagnostic techniques to guide medical management or surgical planning.

Dr. Harlan graduated veterinary school alongside his 'better half', Hannah, and they take care of three senior dogs and a senior cat. They hope to provide a home to more animals in need. He enjoys spending time outside with his family and friends, but also cannot pass up a good movie indoors. He says the most difficult part of his day is balancing his love for music, film, cooking, sports, and family.
