Outside of his practice, Dr. Harris is a former NCAA scholarship soccer player and proudly embraces his Jamaican heritage. He enjoys staying active and sharing his love for Jamaican cuisine with family and friends, bringing the same warmth and connection to his personal life that he offers his patients.

Dr. Harris is thrilled to be part of the team at the Los Gatos clinic, where he serves the San Francisco Bay Area community with dedication and expertise.

Dr. Reid is thoughtful and considerate in her care – she tells you the honest truth but you also feel like you have someone in your corner fighting for you. Dr. Reid always put our fears at ease and celebrates in our success. We couldn’t have asked for a better doctor!

Dr. Reid is incredibly personable. She truly gets to know you and your family and genuinely cares about other aspects of your life other than just fertility. She is so warm in her demeanor, making you feel like she is connected to you and the success of this journey.

Dr. Reid is very easy to talk to. She listened my questions and concerns, and shares her experience and expertise openly. She seems to really care about my outcomes, and is patient and kind when the results were not optimal.

Dr. Reid is easy to communicate with and gives answers in timely manner. She knows which treatment is suitable for each patient rather than trial basis. Very lucky to have her as my fertility specialist.

Dr. Reid was incredible. I felt at ease in every situation with her during the initial consultation in her office, testing visits, operations, and our transfer. I was sorry to say goodbye to Dr. Reid when we graduated from RSC after our successful transfer.
