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.

Dr. Harris and his staff were kind, professional and clear.

Horrible bedside manner
I came for a consult. Dr. Harris would not answer my questions regarding the procedure he wanted to do, he would not show me photos and was angry that I wanted more detailed information about a potential surgery. He made it clear he felt no obligation to help me understand my options. At one point he told me 'I don't need your business,' simply because I was trying to ask him clarifying questions to understand what procedure I need. Will not be returning.

Dr. Harris is always professional. I was 30 minutes early and waited less than 5 minutes to see him. I was done 20 minutes before my scheduled appointment. Thank you!
