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.

The Eyes have it.
Since Dr. Harris comes from a line of opthal docs, he has an innate understanding of pts' needs/concerns. It stands to reason he can't please everyone, but he does his best with a staff that works as a team despite the number of persons working at the same time. It kind of reminds me of a football team except the quarterback has to not only call the plays but act as defense as well. Dr. H is not going to miss any serious condition and yet is not overly aggressive in his approach to his patients.

Dr. Harris did my cataract surgery on both eyes and put in the toric lens in both eyes as well. I am so happy wiht the results and no longer need glasses for distance only for reading. Friendly, courteous, clean environment in the office as well as the surgical center. One of my best experiences having any kind of surgery. I owuld reccomend him to anyone.
