D,III is just one more of the Harris family of doctors that I have been lucky enough to receive care from. He is very professional, competent, and personable. His father did my cataract surgery a few years ago, and D,III identified and lasered off the scar tissue that had formed after 5 years on my distance eye. The entire lasering took about 10 minutes, and I was able to drive as quickly as the dilation for the procedure resolved. Painless and uneventful ! I also had the good fortune to be treated by Andrew Harris too. He is a wrist orthopedic specialist. The only Harris I have not seen yet is Lauren Harris, but I am sure to be under her care at some point in time too. I highly recommend D,III, and all of the Harris family of doctors. The very best care in Knoxville !!!
