Why did you choose to specialize in Gastroenterology?
Gastroenterology is a field of internal medicine which is unique in many aspects.
In addition to being a rare combination of both procedural and clinical skills, the practice of gastroenterology involves diseases of multiple organ systems. As Hippocrates is famously quoted to say, ” All disease begins in the gut”, then what could be more fascinating than the study and practice of gastroenterology.
Do you have a specialty of interest in Gastroenterology?
My interest in Gastroenterology is in motility and functional disorders of the gut. These include esophageal dysmotility, gastroparesis, functional dyspepsia, cyclical vomiting syndrome, dyssynergic defecation, small bowel dysmotility, short gut syndrome, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth. I also have experience with the management of POTS and gastrointestinal symptoms.
Do you fluently speak any other languages in addition to English?
Hindi, Malayalam
What do you and your family enjoy doing in your spare time?
I enjoy travelling, spending time with family, cooking for friends and family, exploring new campsites.

Reviews
Absolutely the best! Dr.Harris is professional, caring and so supportive. She has done everything possible to find the answers and solutions to my issues. I feel so very blessed to be her patient.
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.
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 so knowledgeable, and so caring, and really listens with such a passion for helping. Seriously left their feeling so blessed!
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 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.
