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.

My experience with Dr Harris was in 1985. I went from Ga. To Dr. Harris to get a porous hip joint replacement. When he got in there my bones were child’s size so there wasn’t one to fit me at 34 years old. He built me a new hip and usually that type only lasts 12 years. Mine lasted 28 years! Excellent Doctor!
