Dr Harris is a brilliant surgeon. Grateful to have him at EO.
Had no awareness of my June back surgery (t9-l5) bedside manner left a lot to be desired. The provider came across a bit arriogant and made some inappropriate remarks that were a bit offensive. He didn’t seem very interested in what I have recently been through with my back surgery and the fact that I’m currently in physical therapy. Just a bit tone deaf. It felt like he wasn’t actively listening and the visit felt very rushed.
Knowledge, thorough and comprehensive care. Diagnosis, prognosis, and after care are clearly explained.
Great visit. Very professional and knowledgeable.
I am extremely confident in Dr. Harris' expertise, experience, and wisdom.
