Signs You May Need a Hip or Knee Replacement Sooner Than You Think
A Knee replacement Patient Testimonial for Dr. Harris
A patient’s journey through Total Knee Arthroplasty with Dr. Harris. One thing I noticed right away after both procedures, especially the first, was the change it made in me mentally and emotionally as well as physically. What I discovered as I recovered was that my mind felt sharper and I had fewer moody periods. I think I had been using more brain power than I realized just trying to mentally block out the pain. Now that space was available in my brain for other things. I felt free-er.

Dr. Harris’ Patient Testimonial
I am so grateful to Dr. Harris because he's given me the opportunity to live this life. I missed a lot of things that I would have loved to have done because I couldn't. I was literally in pain all the time even when lying down and sleeping. I couldn't sleep because if I were lying down, it hurt. If I was sitting, it hurt. If I walked, it hurt. If I stood, it hurt.

The way of life—I just couldn't stand it. People don't really understand the pain that I dealt with for almost 10 months before I did something about it. We should've done it nine months before that!
