    Dr. Harris found the problems that had caused my infertility for a decade through exploratory surgery. She corrected them. After several cycles without pregnancy following surgery, I decided to take a short break. I became pregnant the next cycle. My daughter just turned 10 months old! We are so grateful to Dr. Harris, and whenever someone mentions problems while TTC, I recommend her.

    Dr. Geila Harris is an excellent physician and highly knowledgeable in her field, but communication is severely lacking in some areas. I do not know whether it is someone in her office or something else. The last I heard, they had found an IVF clinic covered by my insurance. I had been calling and leaving voicemails since late October—not harassing them, just calling every other week. It was now one week before Christmas. I finally reached the nurse, who then told me I would have to see someone else because my insurance did not cover her. My insurance was the one that told me about her. I feel that I wasted time and money. I am 35 and have fertility problems. I do not have time to waste.

    Where do I begin? Dr. Harris is absolutely amazing! She is highly knowledgeable, and you can tell she loves what she does! I have been seeing Dr. Harris for about nine months, and she has been extremely patient with me. She always has a bright smile that immediately puts me at ease. She explains everything very thoroughly. Yes, she does speak quickly, lol, but she does not mind repeating herself. Although I am not pregnant yet, we have a great plan, and I am glad to have an excellent doctor by my side! The receptionists are also incredibly sweet and friendly. I love everything these women do! I highly recommend Dr. Harris to everyone TTC. She is also knowledgeable about PCOS :)

    Dr. Harris is highly knowledgeable, and it is clear that she loves what she does. She speaks quickly but is very willing to repeat things or answer any additional questions. She will also advocate with your insurance to ensure that services are approved. I feel very well cared for and hope and pray for a good result after surgery.

    I gave 1 star only because Google does not allow zero. In 4 years of TTC treatment, I have never been so disappointed in a doctor. Dr. Harris’s office is terrible. As other reviews say, she speaks too quickly and treats you like a number. I later realized she remembers nothing, takes no notes, makes frequent mistakes, and gives my husband and me different information each time. She repeatedly confused our medications, forgot to call prescriptions in so I missed cycles, and did not return calls, messages, or emails. I could describe the awful experience in greater detail, but overall I feel I wasted more precious time and money. This is the first Google review I remember writing. Front-desk employee Evonne also treated us badly. Please improve your staff: be kinder, recognize patients’ vulnerability, document treatment so you remember it, respond at least occasionally, show empathy, and slow down. Dr. Harris and Evonne seem better suited to an emergency room than this sensitive, emotional setting. Postscript: Before writing this, I was told my stimulation medication had shipped yesterday so I could start today, but it was never sent and no one can be reached as the weekend begins. Thank you for wasting more valuable time.

    They took my money and will not return it. I have never visited this doctor, but a payment I made through her third-party billing service was sent to her, and she no longer returns my money or emails. If I ever need an IVF doctor, I certainly will not choose her. This feels suspicious.

    Dr. Harris is absolutely one of Knoxville’s finest fertility specialists. Along with exceptional medical expertise, she is warm, friendly, and approachable. (Receptionist) Her receptionist is calm, composed, and always ready to help. From the moment you enter, the entire experience is supportive and professional. Warm love from Saudi Arabia.

    Dr. Harris is very intelligent and kind and gave us tremendous help and support throughout the process. Her receptionist always responds as quickly as possible. The clinic is small but very busy and efficient. We love them.

    I love Dr. Harris, both of my kids daughter just turned 18 & son 15 gave me the help to get them here as well as 4 of my friends, so between all 3 of us couples, we have a combined 8 kids!! Dr Harris even had to come in on a Saturday morning to do my IUi.

    From our first video call, Dr. Harris was exceptionally thorough, thoughtful, and attentive. At every visit, treatment, and follow-up, she listened carefully and showed genuine care. She patiently answered every question until I fully understood and consistently made me feel reassured. Thanks to Dr. Harris, I became pregnant and am now a mother. I will always be grateful for her attentive care and support throughout this journey.

    我等了将近三个月才预约到哈里斯医生的诊疗,不幸的是,从一开始我就对前台接待员非常失望。 我大约在3月20日第一次联系了诊所,预约了4月23日。预约前,他们让我填写并传真一些表格。他们发给我10页表格——但显然应该还有第11页,也就是医疗记录授权书,我一直没收到。就在预约前,他们打电话来说因为那份表格没签,所以必须取消预约并重新安排。当我解释说我根本没收到那份表格时,前台接待员坚持说已经发过了,并再次把我的预约改到了5月21日。 我把缺失的表格和身份证正反面的复印件一起寄了过去,又等了一个月。然后,就在预约当天——我们正准备出发去诺克斯维尔(离这里差不多一个小时车程)——他们又打电话来取消预约,声称他们从未收到我的医生提供的医疗记录。 我立即联系了我的家庭医生和妇科医生,两家诊所都确认他们从未收到过哈里斯医生诊所的任何病历调阅请求。 从一开始,我遇到的接待员就态度粗鲁、冷漠且不专业。从我第一次亲自去诊所预约开始,我就感觉不受欢迎。诊所的门锁着,她好不容易把门稍微打开了一点,态度却冷淡又不耐烦。当我解释说我是妇科医生转诊过来的,而且会自费时,她却好像我是个累赘,而不是一个愿意付费的病人。 需要说明的是:我并不认识哈里斯医生本人,所以无法评价他的医术。我的评价完全基于与接待员和诊所管理人员的糟糕经历。在两次预约被取消、浪费了几个月的时间后,我终于找到了另一位医生。他们的诊所立即寄来了所有文件,并顺利地为我安排了6月2日的就诊。 (杰弗里·A·基南,医学博士,生殖内分泌学家) 如果可以打负分,我肯定会这么做。患者理应得到专业、沟通和尊重——尤其是在他们自费就医,并且还要苦等数月才能预约的情况下。

    我们非常喜欢哈里斯医生,也十分感激她和她的接待员/护士伊冯。哈里斯医生是我们遇到的第二位生育医生。我们和她合作了大约一年半的时间。她是第一位对我和我丈夫进行详细检查的医生。她认真倾听了我们的担忧,并尽可能地提供事实和解决方案。她语速很快,但会重复解释,并解答我们的疑问——像我这样爱问问题的人,总是有很多问题! 哈里斯医生对我们非常坦诚,即使有些信息难以接受,但知道她告诉我们真相和下一步的实际情况,这让我们感到很安心。 伊冯会照顾好你们。她也很坦诚,这一点我们很感激。她需要打一些棘手的电话,但她总是能体贴地处理我们的情绪反应。 注:如果不是因为我们生活中的一些事情、我的身体对某些药物的意外反应,以及如果我更早地接受手术,我们或许早就成功怀孕了。 我们即将迎来一个男宝宝,这完全要感谢哈里斯医生和她的团队。

    I love Dr. Harris. He helped me have both of my children—my daughter just turned 18 and my son is 15—as well as the children of 4 of my friends. Across all 3 couples, we have 8 children altogether! Dr. Harris even came in on a Saturday morning to perform my IUI.

    I gave one star only because Google does not allow zero. I have never been so disappointed in a doctor, and during 4 years of TTC treatment, I have faced many disappointments… Dr. Harris's office is terrible. Where do I begin? As many other reviews say, she speaks too quickly and treats you like a number. This lack of bedside manner did not surprise me much at first, but then I realized she remembers nothing, never takes notes, frequently makes mistakes, and gives my husband and me different information every time we speak. She repeatedly gets our medications wrong, forgets to call prescriptions in, causing me to miss cycles, and does not respond to calls, messages, emails, or anything else. Overall, this has only increased my frustration. I could describe in greater detail how awful this experience has been and how I feel I wasted more precious time and money, but ultimately, everything was terrible. I cannot remember ever reviewing anything on Google before. This does not even include how badly Evonne at the front desk treated us. A message from a very disappointed patient: please train your staff to be better and kinder, remember the vulnerability of the patients you are treating, document your patients so you remember their treatment plans—obviously—be at least somewhat responsive, try to show empathy, and slow down. Dr. Harris and Evonne seem better suited to an emergency room than to this sensitive and emotional environment. Postscript: Before writing this, I was told that my stimulation medication had been shipped yesterday and that I should begin it today, but she never sent it and is completely unreachable, and now we are heading into the weekend…so thank you for wasting even more precious time.

    They took my money and refuse to refund it. I never even saw this doctor, but a bill I paid through the third-party billing service she uses was sent to her, and she has not returned my money or answered my emails. If I ever need an IVF doctor, I certainly will not choose her. This seems questionable to me.
