Wendi L. Harris, MD 1221 Pleasant Street, Des Moines, IA 50309

"I would absolutely leave her 0 stars if I could. Terrible, horrible experience with her. I found that my daughter (6mo) had a piece of hair wrapped around her foot. We did our best to remove the hair but I have very fine, blonde hair & her poor toes were so swollen that it was hard to tell if we got it all. I called the nurse after hours line to see what we should do. The nurse was very sweet & told me that she would have a doctor call me back. I unfortunately had to have dr. Harris be that doctor. It was very clear that she had just woken up. & I told her about the hair & she said “well it’s either on or it’s not” in a very rude, condescending tone of voice. She also laughed at me like I was just a stupid first time mom. She made me feel like I was an inconvenience to her. This is my second child & we had something similar happen with my son but as soon as the hair was removed his limbs went back to normal. That was not the case for my daughter. An hour after we removed the hair (at least we believe) her toes were still red, swollen & indented. I am so grateful this woman is not my children's normal doctor & I would NEVER recommend her to anyone. I love unity point & have always had great experiences there until this."

"Amazing with my 2 boys. The first was premature and she was super helpful with all of our questions."

"Always been a fantastic doctor!"

"Dr Harris has been my family's pediatrician for several years. She is ahead of me on my questions and concerns. She is informative, and has been wonderful dealing with my daughter's disease, which she was able to diagnose after ONE month vs the 7yr average for others! I have always been happy with the care we receive, we would follow her to any clinic!"

"I took my newborn baby to Dr Harris as my primary pediatrician. She seemed dismissive and uninterested in answering my questions. The questions I had, she answered in one and two word answers. For example my question "why is my child not supposed to sleep in a rock n play? " was answered with "SIDS." She seemed annoyed by my questions and that they were unwelcome. I did not feel she cared to have us as a patient, nor did I feel I would be comfortable with her as our pediatrician since she was bothered by questions on my child's well being with me trying to be a good parent. She is probably a competent doctor, but her bedside manner is so poor that after 2 visits and choosing to switch pediatricians I would not know."
