Dr Harris is awesome and the staff is awesome also thank you for being awesome to our visit keep up the good job God bless
I got a very thorough examination and explanation of my eyes’ problems. He was also very pleasant and friendly! I recommend him for your next eye exam.
Very thorough and best of all, I didn’t have to spend most of the morning waiting to see him. (His dad forgets that others consider their time valuable, too .. but need to have eye care annually). My hope is that 3 will try to keep the appointments to less than a 15 - 20 minute wait!! Today was perfect!
He is very professional and compassionate
I would highly recommend Dr. David Harris Iii , he performed a corneal transplant on my left eye . The surgery vent well.
Really great doctor and good personality.
My son has special needs and is extremely hard to examine. Dr. Harris always does so well with him. I truly appreciate the patience and extra time he spends with us.
Feel I’m well looked after, happy with my surgery.
Never got to get to the back. People being assisted loooonnnggg after we were checked and paper work completed. I will never recommend this office. I am in a wheelchair and the staff only replied "I'm sorry that happened" WHAT THE HELL kinda of response that is to give a new patient. However; the staff was all to willing to help other patients get from their car to the office and taken directly back. Meanwhile I continued to sit waiting for my name to be called. NEVER HAVE I HAD THIS KIND OF TREATMENT FROM ANY DOCTORS OFFICE. I had a stroke on my left side which has caused partial blindness.
Professional, explained my problem and tells me what the plan is
