Dr. Harris is a longstanding member of the American Dental Association and a member of the Third District Dental Society. He has been active in charitable pursuits, most recently the Mission of Mercy dental clinic. Dr. Harris became dental-phobic as a child because many of his early dental treatments were performed without the use of anesthesia. As a result, he is sincerely empathetic with his patients and is deeply committed to providing compassionate and comfortable dental care.

Dr. Harris and his staff are amazing! From the receptionist to the hygienists, to the Dr. himself, everyone is super friendly. They learn about their patients lives, they chat with you. I've moved away from the area, but still schedule special trips back to see him. He never makes you feel bad about needing dental work. I would highly recommend him (and do to my friends) for anyone looking for a dentist in the NY Capital region.

Dr. Harris is an excellent dentist. He's kind and gentle and always asks during any procedure if I'm doing ok and am I comfortable, am I having any pain. His staff is also gentle and very happy knowledgeable about what they are doing. Mindy is also outgoing and happy and easily converses with all the patients.

Dr. Harris, his staff Mindy, and dental hygienist Kurt have done an excellent job of turning around my dental issues. I'm happy to report I have no more crises and appreciate the professionalism and friendly attitude. Also appreciate they accept Delta dental!
