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 is an excellent surgeon. His bedside manner is compassionate, which is very important during and after surgery. I highly recommend Dr. Harris.

I was suffering with diverticulitis for about 5 years. The pain was unbearable and I had to be hospitalized. I was told I would need surgery to resection my colon to take out the infected part. A friend recommended Dr Harris and changed my life. He operated on me in Feb and I couldn't have asked for a better outcome or a better doctor. The man is amazing. He explained everything beforehand and it all went exactly like he told me. I am a fan and owe him my quality of life.

I had a colectomy 6 months ago due to severe ulcerative colitis. Dr. Harris and his whole surgery team were excellent. I have a permanent ileostomy that I am completely happy with. If you are considering this type of surgery I would definitely recommend Dr. Harris.

The best Doctor there is, he saved my husbands life, after being sick with UC for 8 long years what Dr Harris did was life saving surgery. Life will never be the same after removing big colon (colectomy)but its a big improvement, living without a pain.Dr Harris will spend time with you explaining everything, step by step and answering all your questions. Its 4 years after my husbands surgery and he is doing great. I cant thank you enough Doctor Harris for giving us a second life, God Bless you.
