Dr.Harris believes that good patient care involves prevention as well as effective and safe treatment for medical and surgical problems. He bases his care on a thorough understanding of both the patient and the problem being treated, and will take as much time as is necessary with each patient to achieve this level of care.
Dr. Harris enjoys hiking, skiing, and swimming, and is an avid reader. He and his wife, Grace, are very proud of their two children, Darcy, a lawyer, and Brian, an opera singer.
