Meet Dr. Desiree A. Harris

According to my mom, not only did I decide as child that I would be a doctor, I was also very clear that I would be a pediatrician. Today, my passion is working with parents and families to grow strong, resilient and compassionate children.

One of the biggest concerns of parents is the growth and development of their children. I work closely with parents, kids and teens to help them develop healthy habits early so they can live healthier, happier lives not only now, but in adulthood as well.

I'm married and the mother of three wonderful kids. I enjoy being involved in my church, reading, kickboxing and spending time with my family.

According to my mom, not only did I decide as child that I would be a doctor, I was also very clear that I would be a pediatrician. Today, my passion is working with parents and families to grow strong, resilient and compassionate children. - Dr. Harris

    Dr Harris is amazing!

    Dr Harris, she's always been so kind and very intelligent. She took the time to talk to my daughter as well as myself. She was open to answering any questions and formed a superb plan for my daughter. Never did the appt feel rushed and felt very informed once the visit was completed. Thank goodness for doctors like her!

  • October 11, 2025

    I also appreciate her always reminding them to drink water and eat their fruits and vegetables

  • October 11, 2025

    Dr Harris was amazing with my sons. She picked up on the anxiety my son mentioned when he plays baseball and she gave him wonderful context about how many times professional baseball players actually hit the ball vs how many times they swing. She spoke on their level and it was well received

  • October 10, 2025

    Really good experience. Dr Harris explains and is very thorough during the exam.

  • October 02, 2025

    Dr Desiree Harris. We couldn't ask for a better more caring Dr. [...] had her as a Dr since we moved here and he was 3 or 4 months old and we wouldn't want another dr

  • September 23, 2025

    Dr Harris and the MA were fantastic and caring

  • September 23, 2025

    Great experience for my kiddo. He was very comfortable!

  • September 04, 2025

    Every time we come to see Dr. Harris we have to wait for what seems like forever. I understand she takes her time with each patient but my time is valuable too. We stay with her because she is so good with the kids. I was informed when I checked in that she was running behind but a great solution to this is informing the parents via text or notification on the app. This would allow me to come 45 minutes later and not wait in the waiting room.

  • August 28, 2025

    Dr. Desiree Harris and [...] who helped us during the visit!!!

  • August 08, 2025

    Dr, Harris and your assistant that day were not only knowledgeable but very friendly and made us feel at home. My mom is a nurse and I felt like I was asking my mom questions lol. My kids feel vey comfortable wanted to tell her everything that was going on with them. She gave so many different solutions and broke it down so they understood. I recently switched jobs and was initially told my insurance wasn't covered and I was devastated because I trusted Dr.Harris and only wanted her to see my kids because I could feel the care and love that she radiates!!!! Overall, the entire team, from start to finish are AMAZING. I will never switch providers unless forced lol THANK YOU ALL for all that you do!
