Experience

Dr. Harness introduced oncoplastic reconstruction and, subsequently, areola
and nipple-sparing mastectomy to patients when he arrived in Orange County in 2003.

He introduced both surgical procedures in Orange County, and has the
largest series of areola and nipple-sparing mastectomies in the region.

In addition, he led the effort to bring intra-operative radiation therapy to
Orange County for the treatment of breast cancer.

Each offer significant medical breakthroughs.
