What Patients Are Saying
“I’ve always been impressed. They have a lot of patients but still seem to treat everyone courteously no matter how busy they are. They also seem to really know what they are doing. I’ve never had any problems with them. We have been going to them for over 10 years.”

“I had my first appointment today and Dr. Harris was very helpful and knowledgeable. I called ahead to price a new upper denture and the price I was quoted was exactly what it was. He explained everything that he was doing and suggested that I get a new bottom denture too. I have 2 implants on the bottom and I have some problems with it. He didn’t pressure me about getting them. I appreciate how he let me decide what was best for me. I have more appointments and I definitely believe I made the right choice picking this dental office.”
– Eva B.
“I owe another big thank you to Harris and Harris Dentistry for the services they have provided for my family. Recently after a long weekend of unbearable tooth pain, I called the office before they were even scheduled to be opened on that Monday morning. The receptionist said to come right in and when I arrived they immediately took me back to the exam room and started X-rays , consultation and treatment. They were courteous and took necessary steps immediately to resolve the issue I had. Thank you again and God bless you for your dedication and loyal service to our community for all of these years!”
– Theresa M.
“The staff was really friendly and nice. We didn’t have to wait very long at all and when we arrived late they understand and didn’t lose our place in line.”
