Patient Review 1:

It was with great apprehension I did a consultation with Dr Harris for oral surgery for my 7 yrs old son. After meeting with Dr Harris all our fears were allayed. Dr Harris explained thoroughly what needed to be done and even explained to my son so he could understand. On the day of the surgery my son was extremely comfortable. Dr Harris was very comforting with his explanations and and calming personality and was great at reassuring my son. His support after surgery was phenomenal. The first call I received the morning after surgery was from Dr Harris calling to follow up to ensure everything was going great. My only wish is that there were more doctors displaying the care and thoughtfulness we received from Dr Michael Harris and his staff.

Patient Review 3:

Dr. Harris is the best DR I have EVER been to. He was so helpful. I was able to reach him at ALL times of the day & he even came to help me at the ER on his day off, rather than just letting some other DR do it. He called to check up on me & actually cared about me as if I was a family member, but Im not. He went above & beyond what any other DR would do. I was very scared in the beginning and Dr. Harris was very up front and honest with me about all the good & bad, what I could expect, and what I could do to prevent a lot of it. He returned my calls within 2-5 minutes every time. I must admit, I am not the easiest of patients, I was always worried something was going to go wrong & calling him 5x a day to ask him things like "Can I drink coffee yet??" I was a pain, but he never seemed to care. He was so helpful and nice. I am pretty hard to impress & he went above and beyond what I thought any DR could or would do. His office is so nice & CLEAN!! The staff is great too! He was such a great DR, I got him a 3 month membership to NetFlix. I would (& have) recommended him to friends, family members & ANYONE who wants to be treated and taken care of like a celebrity, by a doctor who REALLY CARES! 110%! Do yourself a favor & use him!!!
Treatment Length with Dr. Harris: 6 months.

Patient Review 4:

I wish I had words for my satisfaction and appreciation for Dr. Harris and his staff. I have never liked going to the dentist, and once I was able to, I avoided it--to the point that something HAD to be done--like it or not. So I went to Dr. Harris's office. The staff was friendly and took care of the insurance hassle. Dr. Harris impressed me too. He explained my problems, my options, the procedures, and the costs and made sure I understood. He also spoke with my new dentist so everyone was on the same page. I thought I was in good hands then, but was reassured during the surgeries--2 extractions and 2 implants. As he worked, I could tell he was a perfectionist, and as a patient, I appreciate that. Just as importantly, I learned Dr. Harris CARES for his patients, and I REALLY appreciate that. During surgery he constantly asked how I was doing and made sure I was as comfortable as possible. But the kicker came the next day when I got a phone call from Dr. Harris, HIMSELF, asking how I was doing. And it wasn't just after the first time; he did that after every procedure. Each time I was happy to report that all was well. Therefore, I highly recommend Dr. Harris to everyone and would never go anywhere else. Julie S
Treatment Length with Dr. Harris: 1 year.

Patient Review 5:

The real purpose of this review is more of a "Thank You" to Dr. Harris and his staff. Lets face it nobody likes having dental work done. I had alot of anxiety about the pain I was going to feel afterwards. Dr. Harris was very honest with me about what to expect after the procedure. Typically when you hear about wisdom teeth removal there is alot of swelling and discomfort involved especially at my age of 38. Dr. Harris did such an incredible job on my mouth the following day I had little to no pain what so ever. It has been 4 days since my procedure I feel great. If you ever receive the news that your wisdom teeth will need to be removed do yourself a favor and call Dr. Harris, you will be happy you did!Shayne PGreenacres, FL
