Good bedside manner and very professional
My first visit with him….. I was very pleased.
I recently had my second cornea transplant with Dr. David Harris III, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the exceptional care I received. From start to finish, the surgery and follow-up care were outstanding. Dr. Harris is skilled, compassionate, and thorough, and he made me feel completely confident throughout the entire process. His staff is equally wonderful—every one of my questions was answered fully, and I always felt supported and well-informed. Thanks to Dr. Harris, the sight in both of my eyes has improved tremendously. I truly appreciate the high level of professionalism and kindness from the whole team. I highly recommend Dr. Harris and his staff to anyone needing cornea care or eye surgery. They are truly exceptional.
Everyone, from the receptionist to check out, was very professional and caring.
