"First time seeing doctor Harris. Appreciated that she took time to ask and listen to me about past health issues. She suggested our next step that I felt comfortable with."
"Dr Harris not only looked at everything in the notes from our previous Dr and test but asked us for details not in the notes to help get a better clearer picture of what was going on. She really listened and has a great bed side manner. She quickly figured out the other Dr diagnosed her wrong."
"An extremely empathetic and knowledgeable doctor who will listen to your concerns. I’ve been a patient for over 10 years. I would not consider going to anyone else after everything that we’ve been through together. Dr Harris is a rare find!"
"Dr. Harris is very attentive. She acts with urgency and concern. The facility is always clean. Been going there for over 20 yrs."
"Dr. Harris and all of her staff at the procedure facility were top notch. I felt comfortable from walking in to the procedure room. Now her staff at her office weren’t so friendly or acknowledging of patients walking in. I had to make my presence known and they just seemed unhappy to be there. That won’t stop me from coming to see her again."

"Great professional staff on the whole. Dr. Samar Harris explained to me clearly of what was to take place in the colonoscopy before I underwent the procedure and the same after the procedure. She also answered my questions . A compassionate, caring and skillful doctor."
"My first visit with Dr. Samar Harris went well. She listened carefully. She gave her recommendations on how to move forward and it was a discussion, not a decision she was executing. In my case, conservative testing in a one step at a time method is what was decided. She was respectful of my extensive medical issues and how they affect my daily life. ~~ The office staff and medical assistant were kind and helpful. There was no wait."
"Great front desk, great staff, and great doctor! I was so happy for getting in to see this doctor. I got her name from someone who deals with the same type of things that I have going on.

Dr. Harris is the doctor that has advocated for me and is someone that shows so much empathy, kindness, and genuinely cares for her patients! I’m forever grateful that she is my doctor!"

"The most knowledgeable, empathic, validating doctor out there! I had been dealing with chronic nausea and vomiting for almost a year and had seen countless doctors (including another gastro) without really getting any answers. When I finally saw Dr. Harris, she had a) seen my condition before, b) knew how to treat it, and c) was able to give the answers I needed (instead of telling me it was just anxiety, like other specialists had). I highly recommend her, especially if you have hard-to-diagnose conditions like mine. She goes above and beyond!"

"I really like Dr. Harris - she is kind and caring and accommodating. The staff at this practice is far below the mark. Before my endoscopy/colonoscopy procedure I was supposed to get an rx from their pharmacy partner. The rx was never called in so a week before I began calling to get the rx sent to my pharmacy. I never received a call back from them until noon on the Friday before my Monday procedure despite daily calls about the issue. On Wednesday when I called a receptionist told me "I would just have to wait longer" for the tech to call me back with such a rude tone that I couldn't even speak after wards I was in such shock. Luckily I don't need to spend a lot of time with this dr so I'm sure I'll stay as a patient because Dr. Harris is so nice and unfortunately I've learned this is pretty much par for the course as far as medical staff goes. It must be hard to find competent and empathetic employees anymore."
"Highly recommend. Listens and seems to genuinely care. Very thorough. Staff is wonderful as well."
"Amazing bedside manner. Very knowledgeable and she not only addressed my GI symptoms qnd scheduled me for appropriate testing but she also addressed some non-GI issues and is helping me seek treatment for those problems as well. I was so pleased with her care that I am now taking my child to see her. By far the best gastroenterologist I've ever seen!"

"I have seen Dr. Harris several times and am very glad that she is my Dr. I think she is a great asset to Digestive Health."
"Dr. Harris was absolutely wonderful. I have seen so many doctors and really felt passed around as a patient; I had even seen other GI doctors who simply ignored results or ailments. Dr. Harris not only took the time to listen to me, but put into consideration my comforts and requests when recommending follow up tests and referrals. She made sure I was comfortable with and educated about her decisions with my care. She also set very good expectations of what to expect and did not sugar coat anything for me. I feel very safe under Dr. Harris’ care."
"Dr. Harris is knowledgeable to an impressive extent and thorough in her understanding."
"I have a rare motility disorder and have been under Dr. Harris’ care for several years now and she is truly incredible. There isn’t a lot that can be done for my condition, but she continues to try to find innovative ways to bring me relief. She is very caring and wants the best for her patients and I am so grateful to have her caring for me. Actually, I recently moved back to the Dallas area to be closer to her and better healthcare, so if that’s not a review then I don’t know what is."
"Dr. Harris is one of the best physicians I’ve ever seen in any field. I started seeing her at UT Southwestern and ended up following her to DHAT. She cares about her patients, never rushes you and gives overall better care than her peers in the same field. She is the only GI doctor that’s been able to help me make progress and live a more normal life. I will always see Dr. Harris as long as she chooses to practice!"
"Dr. Harris is very competitive and caring. She made my appointments and my procedure was taken care quickly."
"Highly recommend Dr. Harris. I came in with some serious issues and she went above and beyond for me. She genuinely cares about her patients. Listened to all of my concerns, maintained great communication and was always there for me when I needed her which is what matters most. She is a very good listener, empathetic and professional. I would recommend her to anyone needing a great GI doctor."
"I done my colonoscopy yesterday , and dr. Harris is excellent . Facility she used is also very nice . If you need colonoscopy this is the doctor you are looking for .All the nurse and staff also very friendly ."
"I highly recommend Dr. Harris! She is so personable and is intentional in caring for her patients. I came to her for nausea/vomiting and for abdomen pain and she has helped my quality of life improve so much. I am very blessed to have her as my doctor!"
"I saw Dr. Harris for MALS and intestinal issues. She was very knowledgeable and answered all questions. she also answered unrelated questions for me. She was very thorough and helpful!"
"I saw Dr. Harris originally because my normal doctor is out of the office with health issues until August and referred me to her while she is out. I was extremely sick and Dr. Harris went above and beyond to see me the very next day. She spent a lot of time asking questions and reviewing my medical history so that she could provide the best care. I was so impressed with her knowledge, compassion and treatment options. Her bedside manner immediately made me trust her and took away my anxiety. She definitely cares about her patients and it shows from the moment you meet her."
"Updated: Dr. Harris and office reached out to address my concerns and my experience since then has been great. Thank you!"
