Patient Reviews
Apr 17, 2024
Have been seeing Dr Harris for over 3 years two knee replacements and surgery for a Quadriceps tendon repair. Very good to explain what’s going on and the procedures that needs to be done. And what to expect after surgery and the things you need to do make it a success. His staff is also amazing and nice well help you anyway possible
