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 was prompt, knowledgeable & the best at what he does!

Happy customer
The doctor and most of the staff were extremely wonderful. Only issue is with the woman at the front desk. She seemed a little condescending. But I had limited contact with her so it was still a great visit

I went to Dr. Harris about a second opinion regarding a hip replacement. I found him to be very professional, he listened quite well to me and has provided me with options to try before deciding on a hip replacement. I will see him again as needed! Very pleased with my visit to Dr. Harris.

Knowledgeable but curt
Dr Harris is knowledgeable but curt. I had knee replacement. He is OK with one question but if you ask a question about bloodwork (that he ordered that is out of range) he gets annoyed.My husband is a patient of his and I notice that he is far more respectful to my husband (man) than to me. Better eye contact, more pleasant and calls him Sir. No 'Maam' for me and much less eye contact. I have been in Technology my whole career so I know gender bias when I see it.I do think he is competent but the delta is respect shows towards my husband versus me and his curt replies if I ask more than one question have been hurtful and disappointing. Not great bedside manner

The Amish Carpenter - Excellent Ortho Surgeon
Dr. Harris performed an anterior total hip replacement on me in Feb. of 2023. As of Aug. 2023, the procedure is a 100% success. Don't even know I had a hip replacement. With 13 years of anterior experience, Dr. Harris is a master ortho carpenter (i.e., cutting, sawing, mauling and broaching). Never late with appointments. On task in answering all questions. Dr. Harris is in great physical shape to perform the world's most demanding surgery (i.e., amputating and replacing the top of the femor bone). Would not consider anyone else for my next hip replacement.

As tomorrow is Thanksgiving I want to share how grateful I am for having Dr. Timothy Harris replace not one but both of my hips. Over two years ago he replaced one and a year ago replaced the other. Dr. Harris is a compassionate surgeon who's skills are impeccable. Great care and respect is evident through all stages of care. Concerns are heard and met with understanding and genuine compassion for the patient as a whole. Such fear of the unknown was crippling in its own right. Dr. Harris understood that and explained the answers of every question I expressed. Feeling safe and knowing what to expect was priceless. As the years and months pass I truly am so thankful for crossing paths with Dr. Timothy Harris.
