Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Horrible Experience! Do not recommend!!!
We were long-time patients of Dr. Harris, initially impressed by his care and expertise. However, over the past three years, the quality of care has deteriorated drastically. Visits are now exclusively with a PA, and the doctor is never available. Staff are consistently rude and unhelpful, refusing to assist with referrals or providing essential medical records. They only offered a photo of my daughter’s X-rays, despite the importance of proper imaging, and obtaining school-required notes for her injury was unnecessarily difficult.The PA’s inconsistent and alarming communication about my daughter’s condition felt manipulative, leaving us uncertain and stressed. The staff has even denied me Dr. Harris’s email. Their cold, dismissive attitudes—especially during our last visit—made it clear this practice no longer prioritizes patient care or professionalism. We have since moved to a new provider and cannot recommend this office to anyone seeking compassionate, reliable care.

Only cares if you Insurance
This is the craziest experience I have ever had with a Doctor. To begin with, my father is doesn't have insurance. We said from the start we will pay in advance for the knee surgery he needs. It's been 7 months of having to scramble around calling Jupiter Outpatient Surgery Center and Anesthesiologist. Getting a CPT codes, getting availability for his surgery, getting written quotes etc. Everything because Dr. Harris refused to get in writing what he would charge for my fathers surgery or even give me any formal surgery proposal. My father is in physical pain, his knee is swollen and I am afraid it's infected now. This past Friday was my last call to the clinic before writing this review. Dr. Harris has known about this for months because his admins have tried to get me answers. I am tired and I will be filing a formal complaint. No one should ever experience this!

The best limb surgeon in Florida
I’ve had 3 surgeries with Dr. Harris. He is extremely knowledgeable, he has the greatest bedside manner of any doctor I’ve ever been to, explains everything from soup to nuts. I don’t know who wrote those two negative comments about him, but they can’t be correct because I know Dr Harris extremely well. Sandra.

Accusation of abuse when a 1 year old had injury
Unprofessional and pathetic. Complete lack of care and attention paid to injury. Doctor skipped medical care and accused mother and grandmother of poor care for their child. Refused to assist with answering medical questions, was more concerned with accusatations and blaming parent.

Our family had an amazing experience going to Dr. Harris. After our son injured his ankle, a podiatrist told us he had broken pieces by his inner ankle, had a cast put on (for up to 6 weeks) and told he may need surgery. We went for a second opinion (five days later). Thank God we were referred to Dr. Harris. He was not only professional, but also caring. He took time listening to the situation, and informed us that having viewed our son's x-rays prior to coming in the room, he knew he was removing that cast. Our son only had a sprain which could only heal with gradual daily movement (which would not have happened in the cast). He spoke to our elementary aged son with respect and care. He made sure he was comfortable before, during and after he removed his cast, and asked that we return in two weeks for a follow-up to ensure he was 100% (he was!). At the follow-up, we saw the PA, Jason, who was just as professional and caring. If ever we have injuries again...Dr. Harris it is!

If you adopt a child from foster care and the child has any kind of Medicaid, don't expect this doctor to see them, even though he's on the list of providers. If you don't fax a referral and an x-ray report, you WILL NOT GET AN APPOINTMENT. They won't even call you back. No special exceptions for kids on the spectrum with fractures, who experience pain 1000 times worse than it is. This office does not care.

I had a minor surgery. It resulted in significant nerve damage. I now have Complex Regional Pain Syndrome. The condition, caused by the surgery, is not curable. It is debilitating. Although somewhat sympathetic, there was no protocol in place to address my condition. PT does not help nerve damage. He did not believe me or, was unaware of CRPS. He offered to supply medical records to whatever doctor I could find. No professional recommendations. I would not recommend him for surgery

To say Dr. Harris cares about his patients would be a huge understatement. One would be hard-pressed to find another physician who is as thoughtful and meticulous about accurately diagnosing his patients, even consulting with other top notch surgeons from around the world. Through our appointments he imparted as much understanding about my condition as possible, which provided so much comfort. Dr. Harris is a man of true character and integrity, and I would not hesitate to recommend him.

Dr. James Andrews is the best orthopedic surgeon in the world and Dr Matthew Harris must be mentioned in the same sentence and the same breath. Dr Harris is extraordinarily gifted, honest, trustworthy,sincere,committed,and meticulous.Settling for anything less than Dr Harris's expertise is only short changing yourself.His ability and orthopedic results are spectacular. Run to his office if you can ,... if not , he WILL fix it .
