      Dr Harris was fantastic, he did a great job of explaining everything to me prior to my surgery in the hospital on [date], then again after the surgery and during my follow up with him on [date]. I felt completely confident in him and the entire team at Howard County General Hospital, they all made me feel very comfortable and that I was getting the best care possible. Dr Harris seems to have a great combination of being a gifted medical surgeon and having a great "bedside manner" as a people person.
