Dr. Harris is a condescending, arrogant, insulting know-it-all. If you like medical gas-lighting, he's your man! I give him zero stars.

I had ulcer surgery a few years ago by Dr Harris. I had bleeding ulcers. After the surgery and he let me go home I seem to be sicker and in bad pain.i followed up with Dr Harris and I told him that I couldn't eat or drink without it hurting me. He told me that he didn't know what to do or say. He didn't know what to tell me. Now I'm still no better.

I recently had gall bladder surgery and everything went great. I have had no problems. The doctor and staff were very nice.

I am 10 years out and have been able to maintain a weight loss of 192 pounds with minimal ups and downs in weight loss and gains. Dr. Harris performed a Roux-n-y procedure in my case. I would recommend him highly.

Dr Harris is one of the most professional, well-mannered doctors we have ever encountered. He is considered an expert in GIST removal surgery and we can attest to his skill. He was also so kind to both of us and his humble attitude put us both at ease after speaking with him prior to surgery. Wonderful doctor! We are thankful.
