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.

An extremely empathetic and knowledgeable doctor who will listen to your concerns. I’ve been a patient for over 10 years. I would not consider going to anyone else after everything that we’ve been through together. Dr Harris is a rare find!

Dr. Harris was very thorough. She listened intently and is working with me to try and diagnose issues.

C.J. Google

Dr Harris not only looked at everything in the notes from our previous Dr and test but asked us for details not in the notes to help get a better clearer picture of what was going on. She really listened and has a great bed side manner. She quickly figured out the other Dr diagnosed her wrong.

First time seeing doctor Harris. Appreciated that she took time to ask and listen to me about past health issues. She suggested our next step that I felt comfortable with.
