Dr. Harris is a very knowledgeable physician who uses traditional medicine to help patients with their pain. I’m not always certain that there aren’t other, better options for treatment, but as a person and physician, I feel he cares a great deal about his patients.

I had checked in online so check in was fast. Only waited a few minutes to get into room. Had seen Dr. Harris for R shoulder problem 3 years ago. Wanted a steroid shot for pain. Putting off surgery till winter. Want to enjoy yard, garden, flowers and grand daughters this summer. Corn harvest and then shoulder replacement in January, maybe.

Dr Harris is awesome. He's to the point, Very observative. Offers options. Helpful, understands the pain you are in. Very, very nice man. I didn't have an orthopedic Dr. Before my first visit with him. I guess i choose the right door to open.. I would recommend Dr Harris to anyone looking for an Orthopedic Dr.... on a side note .. He's nice to look at...a very handsome man.
