Patient Reviews
May 22, 2022
Dr. Harris was very good at listening and answering my questions. His approach is non-aggressive. He recommended not to have surgery on my Inguinal hernia because there was no bulge. He explained the CT scan image thoroughly. His advice is very credible and intelligent. I trusted his professional judgement, felt very comfortable with his diagnosis and treatment.
