At my 1st consultation Dr Harris immediately made me feel relaxed and confident , that I was seeing the right person . I was pleased that I was able to see him face to face , which made the consultation much easier . He explained in detail what he thought the problem could be , and the possible causes . I then attended the Spire Hospital where I had endoscopy. I was slightly apprehensive , but immediately put at ease by Dr Harris’s professional but caring nature, he takes time to make you feel relaxed. My follow up appointment with Dr Harris was supposed to be by Zoom , I had a problem with my computer, so he called and gave me my diagnosis. The call was approximately 20 minutes, in which time everything was explained to me in detail . I would highly recommend Dr Harris, based on my personal experience.

Having been a colleague of Dr Harris' for 20 years, I am pleased to be able to recommend him as an expert opinion in gastroenterology and a mentor in my early practice. Without a doubt, he always puts his patients first by making them the centre of everything he does. His knowledge is second to none and he has a keen eye for detail, often able to make a provisional diagnosis from the history and clinical examination alone, with the considered use of investigations. His approach and sense of humour puts his patients at ease from the outset and I have no hesitation in recommending him as a fellow expert in this field of medicine.
