Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

The very best
The entire staff is there to take the very best care of you and they do it so well.

Heartbroke
Don’t expect communications from this doc. No brochures , no explanations at all. Went in for lens replacement with 2020 vision and ended up with 20 400. Nerve block they did without discussing it left my pupil paralyzed permanently, I had a 8 OD lens and they put in a 18 OD. No correction at all. 3 hours minimum wait every time you go

Amazing doctor for a rare disease
Dr. Harris is a true expert in his field. He's been managing my rare cornea disorder for over 20 years, and his knowledge and skill have been instrumental in preserving my vision. I have complete confidence in his ability to handle the most intricate eye conditions and surgical procedures. If you're facing a complex diagnosis, Dr. Harris is the doctor you want.

Great Dr.
My experience with this office is very good however sometimes the wait is a little long. When you are seeing a specialist that is just a trade off as I see it. Thank you Dr Harris for seeing me.
