					Dr. Harris proved to be an excellent choice for our son’s circumcision. We highly recommend his 5-star service. As a Muslim and an immigrant, I was very nervous about the procedure in the UK, but I had confidence in Dr. Harris due to his outstanding reputation, as recommended by a Paediatric Urologist at Great Ormond Street Hospital.  He explained each step before and during the process and provided detailed written instructions for post-treatment care.  His procedure is clean, sterile, and expertly done. Dr. Harris’s care went beyond the procedure; he made follow-up calls every four hours to check on our baby’s healing and was available on call to ensure everything was okay.  His professionalism and excellence are truly exceptional. We are extremely grateful and highly recommend him.
