I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2023. Dr. Harris performed my surgery. I knew in a lumpectomy that the doctor removes the lump and a thin layer of tissue underneath. After surgery, during follow up, I was told that my margins weren't clear, so I needed another surgery to remove the rest of my cancer cells. I decided to change hospital 's and use another surgeon. I read the pathology report the first doctor received. It explained that the cancer cells were deep in my breast. Every surgeon that performs breast surgery should have a pathologist at the hospital to make sure a patient doesn't have to have the same surgery twice!

Waited over an hour to see him so he could spend 5 minutes with me. Basically told me what kind of wonderful doctor he was. Did not know what my problem was but knew what it wasn't. Rude and not interested in what I had to say. Definitely has God complex . Will not be returning and would not recommend.

He has a god complex and believes that he knows more than my gastroenterolgist. He also is of the belief that adhesions don't cause pain. Obviously, he does not have any. He just causes them, not relieve them. I will be finding another surgeon.
