Dr Harris saved my life in 2003 and continues to do so. I trust this guy with my life and cannot say enough good about the caliber of doctor and human being that this man represents. Riverside Health System would be just another health service provider if it weren't for doctors like Dr. Harris. I see several Riverside doctors for my care, and I can tell you that they work to overcome the difficulties that insurance providers and Healthcare administrators place on them to make the patient experience the best that it can be. I hope that Riverside Health System understands what doctors do every do each and every day!

Dr. Harris was exceptionally thorough from start to finish of appointment. He was efficient but not rushed, informative, caring and collaborative. His manner of explaining was easy to understand but not dumbed down to be insulting. He would make an amazing professor to med students.
