Wait, wait, wait is about what I have to say. I also had to have surgery which was scheduled for noon. I am diabetic and if I go without eating, my sugar gets too low and I pass out. He was even late for surgery and it didn't start until after 6 PM. I was so sick they were feeding all kinds of meds to me to help me. Never again! I'll hurt with my pain before I go back to him.

I could not have picked a better surgeon than Dr. Harris. He replaced my C4-5 and I went from not being able to lift my left arm and chronic neck pain for 15 years to feeling and functioning good as new.

Dr. Harris is one of the worst Drs. I have been to. The staff is rude to say the least talking about pts. that are always complaining while I waited to speak with them!!! I was listening to a member of our church complaining about a Dr. she had seen and what had happened and I said "Let me guess, Dr. Harris!" Yep!!!! Don't go. There are too many fine Drs. in the Norman area to choose this one!!!!!

I like Dr Harris. I feel he wants to help with my back problems ordered test to determine problems, set up appointments to have surgery but the day my insurance company thought I was having surgery they denied it. Blue Cross Blue Sheilds of Oklahoma now is trying to deny paying for the test.Hopefully he continues to fight for me because Im only getting worse. I have suffered for over 5 years constant prior to seeing him, not sure how much more I can take.

Seemed to be in a hurry, didn't want to explained things, and spent most of the FIVE minutes with his hand on the door handle. Actually used the words "suck it up" when referring to back pain. Office staff was horribly rude. Won't go back!
