So nice to me. Being a little "older" sometimes people aren't as patient as they were. Im not as "tech" savy as a lot. They were so patient and kind. And a lot of these days ,it sometimes doesn't happen. THank them.
I just love him and his staff is really good.
Great visit......completely done in well under 2 hours ..... everything went as well or better than projected.....All staff completely helpful and very professional !
D3 is equally as talented as his father. I feel very confident in his professional expertise, and he has a way (like his Dad) of setting people at ease with his calm and collected personality. I am so very happy and grateful that I was placed in D3’s care when his father had to go to specialization. This whole family of doctors is fabulous. They are all gifted in the medical care field. They make UES shine. Thank you Harris family, and Happy New Year 2026 !!!!
