I wish all my doctors were like Dr. Harris. He researched my history before coming into the exam room. He knew everything there was to know. He was personable, friendly, put me at ease. Answered all my questions. Explained everything in a manner that left me with very few questions. He showed me diagrams of everything he talked about. I had his undivided attention. He talked only to me, he was not busy in putting into a computer. He was the absolute perfect doctor. I could not ask for any anymore

As always, Dr Harris was friendly, pleasant, very concerned, empathetic and very knowledgeable. He knew my medical history, cardiac and otherwise, very well. He spent ample time going over studies with me and examining me. His judgement regarding my current status and recommendations for current and future care were well thought out, and, in the past have been spot on. We are fortunate to have him!
