Dr. Harris did my ACL reconstruction on 3/4/25. He was thorough during my appointments prior to surgery and was informative the day of and at my post-op appointment. I have recommended him to several people. I am very pleased with the care I received under Dr. Harris
Very knowledgeable, took time to explain everything. Discussed what he had seen on X-rays and his recommendation to get me back to where I physically need to.
