Todd Samuel Harris, MD

After having so much pain and other terrible symptoms for several months, I went to my OB/GYN who advised me to have a partial hysterectomy because of a large fibroid that had aggressively grown to the size of a tennis ball. After doing some online research about the role the uterus plays in a woman's body aside from having children, I researched alternatives and learned about UFE. At first I was a bit skeptical since my OB/GYN had not even brought this up as an option, but then saw in my research that many OB/GYN's do not bring this up because they are unfamiliar with the practice, or don't personally perform the procedure. So I called a dear friend who is a bladder surgeon and has performed many hysterectomies, and she advised me to strongly consider UFE as an option. Feeling desperate to get relief and explore an alternative to my scheduled hysterectomy, I found Dr. Harris's Office and saw he was local in Orange County. I also considered UCLA but felt it would be best to have someone local in case there were any issues for the recovery. When I called the office, I was greeted by a very warm and welcoming administrator. She moved things around for me to get me in as quickly as possible. When my husband and I met with Dr. Harris, He explained the procedure to us and answered all of my questions. It was evident that Dr. Harris is highly specialized in this procedure. He is very smart, and also has a great bedside manner. His entire staff is incredible. I knew I was in the absolute best hands. You can imagine his schedule is quite full, but he and his team made it possible for me to get this procedure done in a very timely manner. The procedure itself was performed at his surgery center in Newport Beach. His team was extremely attentive through the entire process and the procedure, even down to helping me get the pain medication I would need in a timely manner. The procedure was not painful, but the recovery was difficult. I understand everyone is different, but for me it took a solid week to feel a sense of normal, and another week even after that to return to normal activities. What I really appreciate about Dr. Harris and his team is they did not try and sugarcoat the recovery when I considered the procedure. They are very honest and they do everything they can to help you through the prep, the procedure, and the recovery. I am continuing to improve each day following the procedure, and I am extremely grateful for Dr. Harris and his wonderful team. If you need relief and help because of a fibroid, please call Dr. Harris and his team. While having any medical procedure is not a pleasant experience, they provided me the absolute best care and comfort and relief during a difficult situation. Thank you Dr. Harris and to all of your team. We are extremely grateful.

Dr. Harris and his staff were extremely knowledgeable and helpful prior, during and after the surgery.

Dr. Harris specializes in hernia repair, so his expertise is honed on a continual basis every day. He treated my hernia quickly, efficiently, and enabled a swift recovery with the least possible pain. Don't go to a general surgeon who does only a few of these repairs a year--go to the specialist.

I had hernia for decades, went to many specialist and no one was able to perform that complex surgery. I chose the best and finest Doctor Harris, he did as was planned and i recovered greatly like i never had hernia before.We need those special and finest Doctors who cares for their patients Thank you all team and best Doctor Harris..
