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.

Zero! Is there a lower number to use? Went weeks trying to get a copy of my husband’s MEDICAL RECORDS as his PSA rised. Dr.Harris refused to send them [feared losing more patients ?] , I looked up the Medical Board and was prepared to call them (Faxed my intentions to Dr Harris and a couple days later file arrives). THE SPECIALIST “Dr” got my husband’s PSA from 20+ to 5.83 and recommended another Urologist. WE will leave our name to let people know that we were his REAL patients and suffered.

Worst doctor i've ever been to. Didn't listen to my symptoms and got me out of his office as quickly as possible. Told me not to worry about my pain and take advil as it seems my pain was getting better...I repeated to him that my pain was actually worse and that the pain was so bad I haven't been able to sleep even while taking advil an his response was well you have steps forward and backward with this type of thing - don't worry about it before walking out...never go to this man.

He is very rude and does not listen to what the patient. He looks like he is constantly about to fall asleep. When asked a question he never knows the answer. He is one of the worst doctors I've been too.
