I really like Dr. Harris. He is very nice! I had a full body scan to check for skin cancer and it can be a little humiliating but he really made me feel very comfortable.

I liked Dr. Harris' calm & easy manner. Also I was in and out quickly as appts and staff were right on time. My one negative was in using the restroom in the 2nd floor hall. 2 small stalls, neither for adaptive use. Toilet height would be useful for little children, and no handrails. Also neither soap dispenser worked. Time to meet ADA standards.

I am a new patient. The patient portal was easy to navigate. The staff was professional, helpful and friendly. Dr Harris was thorough in his exam and explanation of the process. Great experience.

Dr. Matthew Harris and team have been caring for my family and me for many years now and we could not be more pleased with the level of care and attention to detail. Obviously see Dr. Harris for medical needs but also some cosmetic stuff...won't trust anyone else to do it!
