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 has helped with my eye care needs. He treated my Narrow Angle Glaucoma, with laser surgery, and he recently removed cataracts from both eyes. He is terrific! I'm so happy to have found him. He and his staff are always professional and very pleasant! I have recommended him to everyone.

Dr. Harris performed laser surgery due to a hole/tear in my retina. He did an excellent job and allayed my fears about the procedure. He has a calm and professional manner. Overall, I am very pleased with his service and staff.
