The entire staff at Yinstill were very supportive and knowledgeable. I began seeing Dr. Fisher for IVF support and continued through my pregnancy. I found the clinic to be a relaxing and welcoming environment and it was easy to get an appointment that worked for my schedule. I would recommend Dr. Fisher, and the other practitioners here, to others.

Dr. Fisher is the one of the most knowledgeable, compassionate and caring doctors I have met. I have been seeing him to help regulate my period and after a few sessions he got my body back on track. He took a holistic approach in my care by reviewing a comprehensive hormone test I did through my Naturopath and complimented the adrenal support I am taking with Chinese medicine supplements. He takes time to listen and asks relevant questions, and takes the time to explain everything he is doing and why. I highly recommend Dr. Fisher to any woman who would like help with her hormones, you are in good hands with Harris.

Would highly recommend seeing dr.harris for fertility acupuncture. I was very comfortable and found the yinsill clinic to be a professional place. Even though I was not using IVF I still found it helpful to conceive and be more relaxed about the whole trying process with the support of dr.harris. He is very calm, reassuring and knowledge. I wasted so much time reading information online and being confused prior to seeing dr. Harris and wish I had gone to see him sooner.

I saw Dr. Fisher for acupuncture and counselling on fertility issues. I believe that Dr. Fisher was instrumental in optimizing my health to give birth since I had trouble conceiving. He is Very calming, easy to approach and has vast knowledge about fertility issues. Highly recommended. Also, he is the most gentle acupuncturist I've ever experienced.

Dr. Fisher was very knowledgeable and understanding about my journey to have a baby. He always took the time to listen and I never felt rushed. I felt the effects of acupuncture almost immediately. He followed me throughout my pregnancy and provided amazing support. I highly recommend him.

Biography

Harris graduated from the Canadian College of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine in Victoria BC with his Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Since then he has completed advanced study and internships with doctors of TCM in Victoria, Whitehorse, as well as in hospitals in China. Harris continues to add to his knowledge base with courses in pain management, stress management, endocrinology and fertility. Prior to moving to Vancouver, his clinical experience was in the fields of women’s health, fertility and men’s health at the Elements of Health Centre as well as preparing couples for assisted reproductive treatments at the Victoria Fertility Centre. In joining Yinstill Reproductive Wellness centre this focus on reproductive health continues to be at the forefront of Harris’ expertise in conjunction with a strong skill set in treating pelvic pain, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and menstrual irregularities. In 2009, Harris was involved in pilot study validating the effects of Acupuncture treatment for vulvar pain that was published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine. Stemming from his prior university degree in religion and philosophy at the University of Calgary, Harris has a strong affinity for the classical knowledge within TCM. Harris works from the fundamental principle inherent within TCM: balance. When the human body is in balance all of its systems operate in synergistic harmony. In working towards this treatment goal, Harris balances theory with clinical evidence to deliver an approach that is rooted in classical knowledge and supported by modern science. Harris balances his clinical practice with a passion for the outdoors. Whether on bike, board, boat or on foot, Harris enjoys all the aspects our beautiful west coast has to offer.
