“I am so grateful to Dr. Harris because he's given me the opportunity to live this life.”

[The pain] is constantly there. It's constantly distracting. 

I missed a lot of things that I would have loved to have done because I couldn't. I was literally in pain all the time even when lying down and sleeping. I couldn't sleep because if I were lying down, it hurt. If I was sitting, it hurt. If I walked, it hurt. If I stood, it hurt. 

I asked my close friends, "Who have you talked to that [you] loved?"

Every time that I talked to somebody who absolutely loved their experience, it was with Dr. Harris. His name came up about 15 times, so I thought, "Okay, this is who I need to talk to." 

I think after your first visit with Dr. Harris, you know you're in good hands because he's so confident. He's so comfortable.

If you look at his resume, oh, my goodness, he's, you know, he's done so much in the field that I felt like I was in very good hands. I made a list of questions before I went, "What's this going to be?" "How am I going to feel about this?" He answered all my questions.

He's very, very comfortable with himself, so he makes you feel very comfortable immediately. 

When Dr. Harris did my surgery, I walked out of the hospital. I never used a walker, never used a cane. My healing was extraordinary. 

One of the things that interested me about Dr. Harris is that he does tissue sparing–it's new. Not a lot of doctors do it. That made the recovery time vastly different. He's just different from any doctor I've been to. He's an extraordinary surgeon and I've had a number of surgeries. Now, I'm able to walk several miles very comfortably. I can stand, I can sit. It's become a non-issue. 

I am so grateful to Dr. Harris because he's given me the opportunity to live this life.
