I just moved to Newport and needed a vet for my asthmatic cat, who also needed her shots. I had adored my previous vet in Seekonk, so letting her go was hard. But I saw good reviews on Yelp for Dr. Harris, and she is only a few blocks from where I live, so eventually I gave her a try.I am so very glad I did! Dr. Harris is just superb with cats, very knowledgeable, and a friendly, charming woman. I cannot believe the almost preternaturally savvy way she has with cats. My cat was handled with such expertise and sensitivity that it very much minimized her stress. Furthermore, the fact that there were no dog smells in the clinic made visiting so much less upsetting. When I brought my cat home, she was quite calm.I got super advice from the doctor and found out a number of bits of helpful information for handling my girl's teeth, diet and environment. All in all, it was a great pleasure, and I cannot recommend her more highly.(PS: there was a negative review here that initially put me off. Funny how that is what I took away, and not the other glowing encomia. I did not have any of the negative experiences described, so I would take that review with a grain of salt. Sometimes a sick cat makes us fractious.) Read Less
