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 best Doctor at Washington Hospital Center
I called for a routine check up and I got an appointment the following week. Dr. Harris is the best doctor ever. He will tell you the truth whether you like it or not. He leaves no stone unturned and makes you feel like family after your first visit.

Excellent Doctor
I'm very pleased with my PCP. Dr. Harris is the best doctor I've ever had. He is inquisitive, attentive, responsive, pleasant, and personable. He is easy to talk to, which makes discussing sensitive health items feel easy. When things come up, I've sent messages via the patient portal, and I always receive a timely response from Dr. Harris. I would recommend him and have recommended him to others. Simply, he is great!

My favorite Dr.
Dr. Harris is a doctor who knows his patient's independently, and he truly cares about your health and well-being. I've been a patient for about 30 years and I've always appreciated his connective bed side manner, and I've referred several friends and family members to Dr. Harris for being super awesome medical professional.
