DO NOT SEE DR HARRIS FOR FERTILITY. I went in and told her we were having trouble conceiving. She basically told me I wasn’t being patient because of my age (27) and one successful pregnancy(&one prior miscarriage). That following month I conceive and miscarry. Another doctor found that I have a blood clotting disorder that causes miscarriages. Here I am a year later and haven’t conceived since. Had she taken more than 5 minutes to talk to me and not tell me how I was pretty much wasting both our times, things may of been different. Find a doctor who listens and cares.

I can’t say enough positive things about Dr. Harris. My husband and I have had an extensive history of infertility. After many years of seeking the right fertility specialist we found her and have been under her care for 4 years now. She is so knowledgeable and thorough in everything she does. After adopting our son and unexpectedly getting pregnant afterwards, we suffered a miscarriage. We had a horrible experience at my regular OB office and called to ask if Dr. Harris could clarify and give us a second opinion. Without hesitation she brought us in and spent nearly an hour talking with us and gave us such a peace of mind. She also offered to perform my D&C considering she had operated on me before and knew my history. She truly cares for her patients. I will never go to anyone else for fertility needs.

Her office staff is a absolute JOKE! The receptionist is by far the rudest and unprofessional person I’ve ever experienced in a doctors office. Hanging up on a patient is immature and completely unacceptable. When left a message on dr Harris phone she called from the telemed appointment she disregarded the message and concern about what happened with her office staff. If she cared about her patients she would of at least have one of her staff or herself return the call about the issue. Which she did not.Dr Harris seemed like a great doctor. However she wanted me to agree with everything she was saying when the information she was saying wasn’t accurate. So I believe she definitely could do better at listening to a patients concerns. She talks super fast and interjects a lot when your trying to speak. I was so hopeful about using her. She was highly recommended. But due to the lack of care and concern we decided to go elsewhere.If your looking for a fertility doctor in Knoxville go see Dr Donesky at the Fertility Clinic! He is hands down the absolute best in the area!

The only thing Dr. Harris has done for me is throw medicine at me. She has never had me come in for an actual in person appointment to meet me or to talk about my diagnosis that she gave me over the phone or to investigate it further. When she would actually call me back on the phone she talks so fast to where you can’t understand her and rushes so quickly to get off the phone that she has hung up on you before you can even say goodbye. She had me go to labcorp to have my blood drawn to check my progesterone levels and I called her office 2 times to try to get my results, and have her explain them to me. Both times I called I only got ahold of the front desk receptionist and she said she would have Dr. Harris call me back and she never did. It’s been almost 2 months and I haven’t received one phone call from her! I’ve never had such a cold uncaring doctor!

Dr.Harris should care enough as a doctor to actually see her patients or at least return their phone calls. My daughter-in-law has left several messages with the office receptionist who promised a return call each time...Dr. Harris nor her nurse has returned any call. When a person takes an oath to be a medical provider she/he has an obligation to each patient;to see and treat them, to talk with them about their medical concerns, and when a doctor prescribes a medication she/he should not leave their patient wandering how that medication works, its side effects, and if there are any alternative options.

My wife reached out to dr Harris because we were having problems with infertility she had one FaceTime meeting with us and made a swift diagnostic and prescribed my wife with pills without investigating her condition at all she has made no attempts to see us in person and she sent my wife to have blood work done then my wife had to call them after 2 weeks to get the results from the desk lady then my wife called them again to see what we should do next and the desk lady said dr Harris would call back soon that was over 2 months ago dr. Harris has been no help at all for us

Dr. Harris was an amazing Fertility specialist. I drove 2 hours to see her because we only have one locally in our home town and he was awful (absolutely no bedside manner). I will recommend her to everyone who I encounter that is in need of a fertility specialist. She explained everything in depth. She does talk fast but always asks for feedback and asks you if you have any questions about what was discussed. I left her office knowing that she truly cares that me and my husband get pregnant and that I have a treatment plan and back up plans if the current treatment plan fails. She was truly an answered prayer!

Dr. Harris seems decently knowledgeable, but her staff is awful! The front desk receptionist is very unorganized and rude. The nurse is the worst medical professional I have EVER dealt with; she would call me with incorrect information almost every single time! And this includes dosage of medications. Luckily I listened closely to Dr. Harris at our appts so I would question the nurse and she would always stumble around then finally give me the correct info after confirming with Dr. Harris. It became ridiculous and alarming that she was in charge of patients and never knew what she was talking about. I was told there that I would most likely not qualify for IVF and would have to use donor eggs. Thank the lord I found another doctor that was much more knowledgeable and helped my husband and I successfully conceive through IVF. Unfortunately I would not recommend Dr. Harris’s office for your fertility needs.

Having to seek out a fertility specialist is emotional to start with. So you would like to feel comfortable and cared for when you choose a doctor and decide to begin the tough, emotional journey with them. Dr. Gayla Harris and her staff were unfriendly (especially when speaking to them on the phone), Dr. Harris was rushed during the first initial visit when there are 20 different things you need to learn, they lost lab work not once but TWICE (only way I found this out was when I called them), and they are very poor with follow up. So thank you Dr Harris and her staff for making this difficult process even more difficult and emotional. I will be seeking another specialist.

The staff and Dr. Harris were caring, helpful, and answered all my questions. They also caught problems another doctor had missed. Will definitely be going back to them!

Have been waiting almost a month now for husbands analysis results and have not heard anything nor does the staff seem to have an answer as to why it’s takimh so long. We were told it would take a max of two weeks. Very disappointed considering what we are going through has been so stressful anyway.
