Dr. Harris is an orthopaedic surgeon specializing in hip and knee replacement. He sees patients from across Chicago's North Shore and the northern suburbs. If you live in the area and are weighing your options, or ready to plan surgery, you don't need to travel into the city to be seen.
The North Shore office is in Lincolnshire, convenient to the surrounding communities, including Vernon Hills, Buffalo Grove, Deerfield, Highland Park, Riverwoods, Long Grove, and the wider Lake County and North Shore area. Wherever you are along the North Shore, you are welcome to be seen here.

A first visit in Lincolnshire runs the same way as at the other two offices. Dr. Harris takes the history and examines the hip or knee, X-rays are generally taken in the office during the same visit, and you leave with a plan. The Skokie page describes a first visit in detail, including what to bring.
Whether your insurance plan requires a referral before you are seen is covered on the joint replacement surgeon in Chicago page.
Parking is free at the building.
Patients closer to Skokie or the city can be seen at the Skokie office or the Chicago office instead.
Dr. Harris sees patients for second opinions at the Lincolnshire office. Some have been told they need a hip or knee replacement and want another surgeon's opinion of the X-rays before deciding. Others have an existing joint replacement that has become painful, or has never felt right, and want to know why.
Bring the imaging. For an existing joint replacement, bring the operative report from the original surgery as well, since it identifies the implant. The joint replacement surgeon in Chicago page covers when to get a second opinion. The revision joint replacement page covers how a painful joint replacement is evaluated.
