About

Dr. Harris was born in Illinois and grew up in Columbia, Missouri. He received a degree with high distinction in Music Education from Indiana University before earning his Doctorate of Dental Medicine degree from the University of Louisville. He went on to complete a post-doctorate hospital general practice residency in Connecticut before establishing his practice in the Albany area. Dr. Harris is a longstanding member of the American Dental Association and a member of the Third District Dental Society. He has been active in charitable pursuits, most recently the Mission of Mercy dental clinic. Dr. Harris became dental-phobic as a child because many of his early dental treatments were performed without the use of anesthesia. As a result, he is sincerely empathetic with his patients and is deeply committed to providing compassionate and comfortable dental care. Dr. Harris lives in the Voorheesville, NY area with his wife Dolly and two dogs, Tootsie and Moosie. His interests include the arts, walking his dogs in the woods, travel, and an occasional round of golf.

I started going to Dr. Harris back in 2024 I was pleased with Dr. Harris, Dental Assistants, and the Dental Hygienist. I am very disappointed with the receptionist. I needed to make an appointment to get a crown done. This is going back to Jan. 2025. I was told by her she will call me. I called in Feb to follow up and her excuse was because of the insurance that's why she didn't schedule an appointment for me, and 'she will call me'. I called the insurance co the beginning of March to resolve any outstanding balance, and according to the insurance co it was taking care of and I paid out of pocket what I owed. Here it is May, I called and reiterate from dated calls I made to the office and spoke with her. I asked why haven't I receive a call back? She had every excuse. Then she said the office got paid back in March, and they finally got an authorization now in May how convenient. I was told to hold on again. It's fine take care I hope this doesn't happen to other patients

Dr. Harris, Stacey & Mandy made me feel very comfortable at my first visit. It's great to find a dentist who is compassionate and professional. I highly recommend Dr. Harris and his staff.

I’ve been a patient my whole life at this dentist along with other family members and I will no longer be a patient here. The service has been awful. They did not inform me that they did not take my insurance until after I received a cleaning. Very rude receptionist. Waiting over 45min on a previous occasion.

My son started going to Dr. Harris because he was close to his work. Then, he started going back to Dr. Harris without being forced to get more dental work done. Now I knew he found the right dentist. Recently, my daughter chipped her front tooth. My son highly recommended Dr. Harris for his highly skeptical younger sister. Today, she went to Dr. Harris and he restored her nice smile. After dinner, she ran in and brushed her teeth without an argument. That's a first! Thank you Dr. Harris!!
