He did surgery on my wife's hand 7 years ago and it's still perfect. He is a master at this hand surgeries. Reccomend him.

Used him for hand surgery five years ago, excellent results short and long term. His jokes weren't the best but his surgery was perfect. Clearly recommend him.

Saw Dr. Harris a few years ago for trigger finger surgery. He did an excellent job and my recovery was quick.

Took my wife to see this arrogant condescending jerk. He kept her waiting for an hour and a half past her appointment time. Then came in with a horrible attitude. "What do you want me to do." Do not see this rude man. I have never had such horrible treatment.

This guy is a good surgeon, a cross between an Artist and Perfectionist, we trust and recommend him, we are blessed to have had him for surgery.

Dr. Harris was a condescending creep. I was referred to him after getting an MRI. All he did was dumb down the MRI report for me (which I already understood) and tell me to stop all physical activity. I could hear him complaining about me to a nurse outside the room. This was after I waited an hour an a half in the exam room for him to see me. I left the office in tears. His actions (or rather, inaction) caused a serious delay in recovery from my injury, and have cost me a lot of money. An absolute joke. Olathe Health Systems did not respond to my request for someone to contact me about him, so I've had to settle for telling everyone I know what a godawful doctor this man is. Now I know not to settle for the doctor with the first available appointment--there's a reason no one wants to see him.

Doctor Harris looked at some x-ray's that were a year old at my wrists, told me what I already knew. Then instead of talking about possible treatments he asked "what do you want me to do about it". It will be my last time to see him.
