4/19/11 | 4 | 4 | 5 | 5 | I have been seeing Dr. Harris for over a year and have always found him and his staff helpful and they have always treated me very well. I do not feel rushed by him and he really takes time to explain the cause behind my pain. He is very fast to identify and correct and new pain issues I have which is such a nice change from past doctors. He is proactive instead of reactive but doesn't recommend expensive treatments. He is also very understanding and kind. | Respond |

This doctor uses a very practical approach to pain managment which seems to be as little invasiveness as possible. Refreshing. In additition based on some basic workup was able to pinpoint one crucial cause which no one both at Mayo and Reno failed to do. His approach is very relaxed and I enjou that he shares information as if I were a colleage. There have been rare occasions when staff may have taken upon themselves {his wife} to make unwarrented diagnosis over the phone and sonetimes prescriptions wetr promised to be available with some hiccups, however I believe they all mean well and I have much confidence in Dr. Harris who is extremely knowledgeable and has been an invaluable part of my pain management. THANK YOU DOC!

I was referred to this physician for pain management. Although it seems that he has helped me with my medical issues, because of his rude staff members, I will not be returning for continued treatment. I believe all his staff members are family. Not good business !!!

At first, this doctor comes across a bit distant and intimidating, however, as I let him continue his observations just from having read my chart I then became a fan. Dr. Harris demonstrated an amazing range of knowledge going into why Fibromyalgia is a real illness to talking about abnormal bone growth in the spine and M.S. Before I met this doctor I ridiculed any doctor using the word Fibromyalgia, but no more. I was also relieved to learn that he didn't feel I had this illness and went very deep into questions and medications as well as again my chart which my primary doctor made sure contained all pertinent information. After my 1st appointment I honestly felt like I had been admitted into a private and secret medical practice that only the privileged and elite were allowed to go. That's how good this doctor is. Not only does he deal with medicine, but epidurals plus some. Also, after only 2 mos, he filled my prescription without having to look at my chart. IMPRESSIVE!!!

His office staff is horrible, one of the worst in town. He is OK, pleasant bed side manner. But I left only because of his staff. They are extremely rude, putting the all mighty dollar a priority over patient care. Too bad that his staff is his family. That makes it very difficult. I left, glad I did.
