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.
