Haris enjoys all aspects of general dentistry but has a particular affinity for prosthodontic and endodontic work. To further his studies Haris keeps up to date with new literature and may look to do his fellowship with the Royal Australasian College of Dental Surgeons in the coming years.
Haris takes pride in his work and strives to be the best that he can be for his patients which is evidenced by his effort to gain entry and then to finally complete his degree with honors.
Haris believes that fitness is very important and enjoys going to the gym and playing basketball.
Dr Haris was awarded the Lumino Legend award in December 2017 for delivering a high standard of patient care:
“I went to Lumino to get a second opinion for a possible root canal. It was a good decision to choose Lumino, as Dr. Haris confirmed that my tooth could still be fixed/revived with conservative methods, rather than a root canal. He even gave me options and suggestions based on what he thought would work for my tooth. He gave me a detailed explanation of my treatment plan, the how’s and the why’s were discussed clearly which is something I haven't experienced previously.
I’m happy I found Lumino and left with confidence that they will take care of me and my teeth. Thanks Lumino and Dr. Haris.”
Haris understands how important the explanation of both how and why a specific treatment was required. Due to this, he has seen his patients become more comfortable once their fears are addressed which in turn builds their confidence in his advice/treatment.
