SHC Patient, Apr 2017

Dr. Harris has exceeded all expectations and been one of the best care providers ever.

SHC Patient, Apr 2017

Good experience during my visit to the hospital.

SHC Patient, Apr 2017

I have a great team of doctors.

SHC Patient, Mar 2017

All in all this was an excellent encounter.

SHC Patient, Mar 2017

IT;S ALL GOOD

SHC Patient, Mar 2017

Dr. Harris was very dismissive of my concerns. While he was certain, (with little explanation to me), that my symptoms were not a vascular problem his demeanor was condescending and unconcerned when I asked questions about my next steps. His general response was "all I can tell you is, it's not a vascular problem, I don't have anything else to tell you. I've had the concerns for almost 3 years and as the frequency and discomfort increases I was trying to get advice on what type of doctor might be able to help. He just didn't seem to care & was clearly bothered by me prescription for more help.

SHC Patient, Feb 2017

Dr Harris and his team are the best in the world, they have my complete confidence.

SHC Patient, Feb 2017

Couldn't have asked for a better person, because I already had one.

SHC Patient, Feb 2017

Very, very satisfied

SHC Patient, Feb 2017

Dr. HARRIS is very blunt - he "tells it like it is" - Did not get the sense he cared, however; he was impersonal to us. Very competent but....

SHC Patient, Dec 2016

Dr. Harris has a natural manner that inspires patient confidence that his results fully affirm.

SHC Patient, Nov 2016

Dr. Harris is world class.

Dr. Harris is truly wonderful! He built a stint to take the swelling out of my left leg several years ago..closely montors the vascular functions......His professional, caring and kind manner makes me confident that I have the finest vascular surgeon in the world......Thank you Stanford!

SHC Patient, Dec 2015

Perfect

SHC Patient, Dec 2015

Grateful for Dr Harris' expertise and comfortable manner.

SHC Patient, Nov 2015

really knowledgeable and skilled but I would like broader explanation e.g. why is scar tissue so often an answer to why something didn't work? Must be common. What is anyone trying to do to get around it? I have enough advanced degrees to understand an explanation and even a brief telling of research results and aims;

SHC Patient, Nov 2015

Terse.

SHC Patient, Nov 2015

Very good experience.
