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.

Dr. Harris is the Best!

Dr. Harris is wonderful. I do not think it is hyperbole for me to state that she saved my life! I was careless about my diabetes and my lifestyle wasn't the best. I was punishing myself over a disease that I cannot help having. She was very patient with me as I worked through the guilt of not only being diabetic but thinking I could handle it without extra medication. She helped me understand that Insulin will quite literally save my life at this point. Now, not only is my physical health much better but my mental health as well. I highly recommend her. I feel listened to and cared for at all my appointments. I hope to keep seeing her for many years to come. Both Dr. Harris and her care team are the best! I feel very fortunate to be her patient.

I saw Dr. Harris to determine if what treatment was the best solution for me. She read all the backup material I provided and made a comprehensive recommendation. I rank her highly.

She does not do hormone replacements, She told me $150 was not that much money to pay for a medicine that my insurance do not cover. She laughed at my accent several times. My copay was $50, but I got a bill of $105. I called her office and they told me that my visit was extended. Of course! She talks and talks ... I remember wondering why she was talking so much about topics that did no concern at me. She was upset I did not care about my high cholesterol. All my family has it, and all lived long. I told her it was in my genetics, and she laughed. I give her two starts because I asked her to write an order for some blood test and she did it, despite that she wrote the wrong codes and my insurance did not want it to cover it.
