Why did you choose to specialize in Gastroenterology?
Gastroenterology is a field of internal medicine which is unique in many aspects.
In addition to being a rare combination of both procedural and clinical skills, the practice of gastroenterology involves diseases of multiple organ systems. As Hippocrates is famously quoted to say, ” All disease begins in the gut”, then what could be more fascinating than the study and practice of gastroenterology.
Do you have a specialty of interest in Gastroenterology?
My interest in Gastroenterology is in motility and functional disorders of the gut. These include esophageal dysmotility, gastroparesis, functional dyspepsia, cyclical vomiting syndrome, dyssynergic defecation, small bowel dysmotility, short gut syndrome, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth. I also have experience with the management of POTS and gastrointestinal symptoms.
Do you fluently speak any other languages in addition to English?
Hindi, Malayalam
What do you and your family enjoy doing in your spare time?
I enjoy travelling, spending time with family, cooking for friends and family, exploring new campsites.

Reviews
she’s wonderful. Very thorough
Highly recommend Dr. Harris. I came in with some serious issues and she went above and beyond for me. She genuinely cares about her patients. Listened to all of my concerns, maintained great communication and was always there for me when I needed her which is what matters most. She is a very good listener, empathetic and professional. I would recommend her to anyone needing a great GI doctor.
I am so lucky to have had Dr Harris do treat my nausea and vomiting. One of the worlds greatest docs.
I saw Dr. Harris for MALS and intestinal issues. She was very knowledgeable and answered all questions. she also answered unrelated questions for me. She was very thorough and helpful!
I highly recommend Dr. Harris! She is so personable and is intentional in caring for her patients. I came to her for nausea/vomiting and for abdomen pain and she has helped my quality of life improve so much. I am very blessed to have her as my doctor!
