New Hanover Regional Medical Center Hospital
Dr Miles did a wonderful job on my surgery. I do have complaintsome about his office staff. They were very unorganized. It was hard to get a call back about important issues. Several of my coworkers had the exact experience as I did. One friend called his office twice to schedule an appointment to have the lap band and to this day has never had a call back. There is one lady there that pretty much runs the office, all I can say is what a mess the office is. Don't get me wrong, he is a great Doctor and if you can get past his office help then you will be in good care. Maybe with enough reviews on the his help it might improve things for others.
I had my gastric bypass surgery on 3/11/2014 . So I am 10 days post op. Im amazed with the positive changes that have already taken place. I am currently down 13 lbs, I'm off my blood pressure, diabetic and gastroparesis meds. Im still recovering and still tire easily. But I am excited about the positive changes that have already happened by making this change. Dr Harris and his team are amazing. I feel he really prepares his patients well before surgery. Im very happy.

From the first time I stepped in Dr. Miles's office (Oct. 2012) I was welcomed by smiling faces and comforting words. Throughout my 6 months of visiting the office I was encouraged, informed and guided by the staff, PA, and nurse. I felt like this is truly where I needed to be! i was never nervous about asking a question, or calling if I ever had a question. Leading up to the time of my surgery I felt excited to be on my journey to weightloss and the greatest me I could be. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Miles's services to anyone!!
One of the most professional, yet friendly doctor's ofc I have been to. The education and the pre-op protocol was outstanding. I appreciated the honesty and in depth interest, and thoroughness of every facet of the procedure. My pre-op and post-op care was made personal and is still on-going as of this date (18months post-op). I have lost 87 of the 100 pounds I had set as my goal. I am maintaining the weight loss and feel great. I would reccomend Dr. Miles to anyone who is serious about this path and willing to be honest, and follow his instructions for life. This is not a "quick fix", it is one of the most important decisions you will make in your life. His staff, with special notice to Lenny and Helen, are there for you and will go out of their way to answer any question or address any situation you might have.
Dr. Harris was professional and did an excellent job. His bedside manner is also much better than many surgeons I have had experience with. Meredith Wawner, the PA, is excellent. Very caring and will take as much time with you as needed. She even checked on me post-op in recovery. I hardly had any pain post-op and was up and walking by noon after being moved to my room at 9:00 a.m. After discharge and the first night at home, I didn't need anything stronger than liquid tylenol, despite having been prescribed pain meds. Dr. Harris has a stellar reputation in this area for being the best, and I now understand why. His association with the counselors and nutritionists at the Chrysalis Center provides for support both before and after the procedure, as well. And monthly support group meetings are well run and include timely topics.

Gotta tell you that Dr. Harris is the best! I have been with him since 2008 and he has been wonderful. My first impression of him being impersonal was totally wrong. He is very warm and sincere doctor that wants to help.
I have had issues with my lapband and we are meeting on Nov 4th to decide what course of action to take now. Looking forward to this imput.

My first impression of Dr. Harris is that he was very serious, but was very thorough. He asked the right questions and was to the point. I did not feel that he talked above my head and was very clear. He was a tad bit impersonal, but that is okay. After the first consultation I have not seen Dr. Harris, but his assistant. So far I am very please with his services.
