Dr. Harris has performed two root canals at different times and I’ve had no trouble since. Also, love his waiting room decor. 🙂
My first time having a root canal and Dr. Harris and his assistant really made me feel safe and comfortable. I would recommend Dr. Harris to everyone.
This man works hard for his money! Incredible perseverance, diligence and attention to detail! Dr. Harris is a very experienced and skilled endodontist and was able to correctly diagnose and save my tooth. His support staff are friendly and professional. I wouldn't hesitate to highly recommended Memphis Endodontics.
I was sent by my dentist when he was unable to complete my root canal due to calcification. It took a few attempts but Dr. Harris was able to do it without me having to go to oral surgeon. I have problematic teeth and I’m accustomed to dental procedures. I was so impressed with both Dr. Harris and the staff! Everyone was very friendly and professional and the office very welcoming and put me at ease. I wish I could go here for regular dental procedures as well.
Dr Harris is exceptional. Patient and knowledgeable and willing and able to understand and solve problems. Root canals done are stress free
