William Harris IIi, MD

I am totally satisfied with Dr Harris. He listened and gave a professional opinion. I first met him on a Sunday morning. He came quickly to the ER and performed what he needed to do. I appreciate him helping me in my time of need. Thank you for my life! Dr. Harris

Visited Dr. Harris with my mother who had been having issues with A-fib as well as kidney failure, and COPD. We thought we would never get in to see him and finally did following 3 ER visits and 2 hospitalizations. He diagnosed her with Afib and Diastolic Heart failure. I'm sure that is a correct diagnosis and I have no doubt he's a good doctor. My mother is 84. He rushed through the visit like he was in a race. He spoke so quickly...it truly was a blitz. I fail to see how anyone is getting good healthcare this way. There is literally no time to ask a question. There was a frantic searching through medical records to get information and then pronouncements of new meds that were needed. I understand that doctors are under the gun with so many patients to see, but there needs to be at least a nurse that follows the doctor with instructions and information to make sure the patient fully understands what just happened in the session, and to give the patient and any family member a… chance to ask a question regarding medications or diagnosis. I think it would be super helpful if in-demand specialists like Dr. Harris who have heavy patient loads, could have a support staff to be advocates for patients. This could be a huge help to doctors, patients, and their families.

I saw Dr Harris for irregular heart beat. He either superficially reviewed or did not review my 3 ER EKGs, and then ordered a wholly inadequate 24 hr Holter monitor. I later received a phone call.l from a nurse ( no further communication from Dr Harris} saying I had moderate PVCs. I have had no more communication from them.
