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.
I have total confidence in Dr Harris.

Dr. Harris botched my mother’s hiatal hernia surgery. She had 7 surgeries in 8 months , she was sepsis couldn’t eat, messed her stomach up so bad a feeding tube couldn’t done, much less a stomach one. My mother was in good health and within 8 months my sweet mother died, her heart couldn’t take any more!! Dr. Harris sent others to look at her toward the end, tucked his tail and disappeared!!! Mom passed away April 7 2020 . Shame on you!!!!

Dr. Harris performed a Lap Cholecystectomy on me in October 2017. I had severe inflammation. He is very professional, caring and very patient. I had very little post operative pain. He is outstanding. I would highly recommend him.

Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Harris?
Dr Harris operated on me in 2002 for a stomach tumor. I was in St Joseph Hospital for 10 days. Dr Harris took his time and was very patient on determining the proper treatment. The operation was very successful and I had very little pain after surgery. Also, Dr Harris operated on me in 2015 for hernias. I had five abdominal hernias. This operation was very successful and healed up very nicely. I would highly recommend Dr Harris for any future surgeries. He's just a wonderful Doctor.

I had a slew of medical issues that resulted in seeing many specialists, including Dr Harris. Of all the doctors I consulted, dr Harris took a vested interest in my case, even following up with me personally even after he had referred me elsewhere. I have the utmost confidence in his capabilities. I would highly recommend him.
