I was informed that the doctor was running late.I was going to be late because of traffic and unusual rainy weather. I called to inform the office personnel while on the way.They said that was fine since the doctor was also running about 20 behind schedule.

Dr. Harris explains and listen to his patients. He removed my appendix 10+ years ago and when I thought I had gallbladder issues I knew he was the doctor I wanted to talk to about maybe having surgery. Highly recommend him.

This was my 1st consultation with Dr. James Harris, and it went well. It went much better than expected. He took the time to listen, and he went above and beyond to pre-order a test that was incomplete/inconclusive from a prior health organization. I greatly appreciate his work ethic.
