I did not see him but was very happy withNP
Dr. Harris is excellent doctor twice I have seen him and I have no complaints. I’ll be glad to see him anytime they have me appointment made for me and I hope his son is doing a lot better. Thank you so much.
He listened to my short history of symptoms and assured me issues can be dealt with and what options likely would be best for my vein issues. Very important that he conveyed what was found and lies ahead to my spouse then to me later during recovery hold. I trust him and wish a long career of success to Dr Harris!
Very professional and caring as well s the two nurses who assisted. 4/30/26.
