High Desert Oral Surgery

Dr. Harris and staff were very professional. Great experience.

To say that Dr. Harris is amazing is an understatement. He is caring and compassionate, offering the very best service from the initial consultation to post surgery follow up. I would highly recommend Dr. Harris and his professional staff!

Dr. Harris in my humble opinion is one of the best doctors in the business. His staff is knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely care about the patients. I can’t say enough about this practice. I would highly recommend High Desert Oral Surgery to anyone!

UNETHICAL! I did not visit this office because front desk told me on the phone that their policy is to not prescribe any pain medication to those on a pain management regimen. (Pain mgmt. patients do not get extras for dental emergencies from their pain drs — you get minimum for baseline pain) This is suggesting that I would have an emergency tooth extraction just for drugs. How amazing to think that someone with a chronic medical condition might have dental issues? Well, at this office, somebody cares more about their convenience than patient comfort. I don’t know how the DEA might view emergency tooth extraction as med seeking behavior or some red flag.
Why would you let someone like that dig bones out of your head?
Also, the receptionist initially told me that I had to either have a consult + an emergency extraction with general anesthesia OR an emergency extraction with just local anesthesia, then at my shock she later accepted an emergency appointment with general, but not for 2 days. Obviously, I did not keep that appointment after I heard their sadistic policy. (How can you charge for an emergency when you force a separate consultation appointment?)

Dr. Harris is awesome! Got three wisdom teeth taken out in under 45 minutes including the time the put me out and wake me up. I didn’t even need to take the pain meds prescribed and went to work the very next day :) When it comes to your health, I honestly believe you get what you pay for and Dr. Harris is well worth the money.

Dr. Harris is highly skilled. I feel lucky that I found my way to his office after some very unscrupulous corporate crown work was done. He was the first to even talk about Corporate dentistry, I didn’t even know it existed. Dr. Harris is at the top and I cannot thank him enough.

This was a referral place, but I think it was a joke. I had to schedule an emergency appointment and they insisted they couldn’t do anything to me until they do their own consultation and ex rays for $ 250 !! (I had just came from a dentist with all of that to show them !) and on top of it, it would be over a week until they could get me into surgery. They costs were 3 times the rate of any other 5 star dentist I found in North Scottsdale, so I went elsewhere.

I can’t say I’m proud of the fact that I needed Dr. Harris’ skills, but I’m certainly glad I found him! When I face planted and severely damaged my front teeth, I went to another dentist near my house. They told me to come back in a month after my teeth fell out. A MONTH!
I found Dr. Harris and he saw me that day. Even through my fear after the first horrible experience, he comforted me, soothed my fears, and was realistic and informative on my future. He went through all the options positively and got right to work on fixing my teeth. He was worth every penny!
Week after week, visit after visit, Dr. Harris was on board with everything that was going on. When I freaked out after some minor pain, Dr. Harris saw me that day and took the extra time to work me through it.
His staff was friendly, efficient, and courteous (even when I wasn’t exactly the best because of the pain). They worked with me on a payment plan and kept me up to speed on my progress.
GO HERE if you have any sort of dental needs.

Dr. Skip Harris was the second oral surgeon I visited about my impacted wisdom teeth. I was very worried because the first oral surgeon I visited was very pushy, over-​priced and wouldn’t let me make payments. Although High desert was a longer drive away from Anthem, I showed up and was already impressed just by Dr. Harris’ staff ! They were very friendly, down-​to-​earth and knew what they were talking about. As for Dr. Harris, he was very friendly, personable, and knowledgable ! I felt comfortable knowing about how educated he is. He makes sure youre comfortable with everything before any work is to be done. He tells you step by step what he does and what to expect. I was scared to get an IV for my wisdom teeth extraction, but he stuck the needle in and i barely felt a thing ! they use small needles and he pumps in medicine and before you know it you black out then wake up with gauze in your mouth! very funny. It was a rather pleasant for what I expected! As for the payment plan he was over a thousand dollars cheaper than what I was quoted in Anthem! If I know anybody who needs work done in their mouth I will without a doubt refer them to Dr. Harris! Keep up the good work Dr. and Staff ! :)

Most of the time when you have to go see a surgeon you expect you will need be ready to sacrifice personality for skill and bed side manner… ha! forget about it! Dr. Skip and his team blow this out of the water! They care for everyone like you are a member of their own family. Beautiful office, friendly and attentive staff, fantastic doctor! A++!

I had a great experience with Dr. Harris and his staff. Everyone is very helpful and friendly. Dr. Harris explained everything that would be happening during surgery and patiently answered all of my questions. The surgery was a breeze!
