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.

Professional and kind
Dr Harris recommended physical therapy before doing a MRI. I completed physical therapy with great improvement. I appreciated that he recommended the least invasive action to resolve the pain issue in the back and leg.

Conservative, straight to the point. I love a surgeon who will say “no surgery” multiple times when surgery isn’t necessary.

Office visit and evaluation
First time seeing Dr Harris. Have had back/leg issues for years. Thought I needed surgery but Dr Harris felt surgery would be a last option. How refreshing to meet a doctor who’s first inclination was NOT to cut me up!!Previous doctors (retired and moved to WY from out of state) we’re happy to treat symptoms and not the root cause.

Very pleased.
Dr. Harris is professional, skillful, and personable. I had much reduced muscle use in my left arm due to a great deal of calcification in my neck which was constricting the nerves to my left arm making it very weak and pretty useless. Dr. Harris performed surgery on my neck to relieve the pressure on the nerves of my arm. I could tell immediately after surgery the strength and mobility returning in my arm. I have been pleased to notice strength improvement steadily now that the nerve passages have been opened and the constriction removed. I was very concerned about surgery on my spine (neck) for obvious reasons. Dr. Harris and his nurse Sue were very helpful with my questions and concerns. What I would like to convey is my gratitude to Dr. Harris for his skill and competence. Also to Sue for her patience and understanding. Surgery is always very concerning, especially on the spine, but my experience with Dr. Harris and this neck operation has been all in all a huge success relief.

Dr. Harris would not be fit to work with animals. I have documented proof, that my wife needs back surgery. A MRI report from late 2017 from Premier clearly shows the need and suggests surgery. She put it off, not wanting to go through another surgery (she had one previously 2005) Now after another required MRI, Harris has flip-flopped, saying she only needs therapy. Office staff is rude and unprofessional

My orthopedic surgeon retired and Dr. Harris replaced him. On my first visit he diagnosed the cause of the continued pain immediately. Scheduled tests to confirm it and recommended treatment.

This man should not be in practice. He is extremely rude and incompetent. He preformed Spinal surgery which failed and caused worse symptoms and increased pain. After visiting with COMPETENT Surgeons their first remarks were shock on his "work". Not only did he do a terrible job. He had no sympathy and made getting paperwork EXTREMELY Difficult. Every interaction was difficult and he brought that same attitude into the operating room. Please avoid at all costs.
