- Through our daughter’s diagnosis, surgery, recovery and aftercare Mr Harris gave us the utmost confidence in his ability to take the best care of her. His experience, judgment and care meant that she had the best possible treatment of scoliosis. He was a reassurance for us and an incredible doctor for her throughout.
- We couldn’t be happier with the care our 12-year-old daughter received from Mr Harris and his team. The kindness, expertise and attention she received were exceptional, and we felt supported throughout. Thank you for making such a positive difference to our daughter’s experience
- Our daughter was under the care of Mr Harris for Scoliosis. The surgery was a huge success, our daughter’s spine is perfectly straight. Every single aspect of our daughter’s care was utterly faultless. In addition to the surgical outcome, Mr Harris was always calm, highly empathetic and very supportive. His whole team were equally amazing throughout. We cannot thank Mr Harris and his team highly enough for their incredible skill, dedication and care.
