James A. Harris's Online Review Report Card

I've never met anyone as kind and compassionate as Dr. Harris and their staff. I would give 10 stars for their willingness to assist you into getting things done.

Dr Harris and his office staff are professional, caring, and treatment appropriate. Very pleased!

I was having extreme hiatal hernia pain under my rib cage. He looked at me and said there's no pain that even exists in that area. After imaging and tests I have a sliding hiatal hernia that needs surgery as soon as possible. If he was the only surgeon in the area there would be no hope. He should retire and get out of the practice because he has no idea what he's doing. I'm very thankful for the surgeons that do.

I’m a little 2 weeks out post op from Gastric Bypass Surgery, I must say Dr. Harris is extremely thorough when going through this process with you, he definitely knows his stuff! PA Janelle is awesome so friendly, knowledgeable, great bedside manners, and extremely patient, no question is a silly question. Amanda the nurse who answers the calls for the team is wonderful, patient, knowledgeable and is always there for you when you need any questions answered. They have given me the best experience I can ask for in this transition I appreciate each one on Dr. Harris team. What’s great is Dr. Harris follows you for 5 years after surgery he is the director of the Bariatric Program.

This is the worse surgeon in the world. He canceled my appointment 3 hrs before when I needed surgery desperately.

Dr. Harris and his staff are exemplary! I had colon cancer and was sent to him by Wilmington GI. I could not have been more pleased. He and his team were very caring and knowledgeable about my situation. I cannot thank them enough for all they have done!

STAY AWAY FROM DR. James Alan Harris, MD. I had a Low Anterior Resection performed by Dr. Harris in April of 2020. After three weeks I was back in the hospital for the first what became about five visits to the ER for dehydration. We did a CT Scan after three weeks and found that there were failed sutures along with an anastomotic leak. Dr. Harris said there was nothing that can be done about this and that NO OTHER SURGEON ON THE FACE OF THE PLANET COULD FIX THIS! He said that if he tried to fix the sutures that they were in a very low area and if he tried to fix them I would probably have to wear an ostomy for the rest of my life. So I trusted him, I kept coming to the ER and I got no relief. I waited and waited over a six-month period and I was slowly becoming septic because of the anastomotic leak into my abdomen. Finally my Oncologist got me a 2nd opinion at NC Chapel Hill. Come to find out after I told her what Harris said, that “she was from Mars” and wanted to operate immediate

Finally my Oncologist got me a 2nd opinion at NC Chapel Hill. Come to find out after I told her what Harris said, that “she was from Mars” and wanted to operate the next day. She said the anastomotic leak was eating away at the bottom of my spine and I needed another surgery done and I had to wear another ostomy bag. Dr Harris screwed the pooch on my case and he has tried to hide it, as ALL of my surgery visits that used to be in my MyChart are gone. I could tell by his mannerisms that he knew he effed up. Stay away at all costs and do not let this man ANYWHERE near your body. Had I not gone to UNC Chapel Hill for a second opinion I probably wouldn’t be here talking with you. My recovery is ongoing and very hellish and thanks to Dr. Harris I’ve missed two years of work and I have gone much longer in recovery than I ever should have. I will keep posting all over the planet until he recognizes that he screwed the pooch and settles accordingly.

Gall bladder ruptured and Doctor Harris took care of me completely. It was a tremendous surgery and he done the very best for me and took care of me months after with the damage the gall bladder had caused. He is amazing confident, and well-mannered. I would have not wanted anyone else to help me through this but him. If I could give him a score of 10 I would. Bert Croom
