History
My desire to be a dentist came out of the blue my sophomore year at Woodruff High School. I had observed my father, Robert Lewis Harris, DDS, for some time and his lifestyle as a dentist appealed to me. I followed my dream, attending Washington University in St. Louis and graduating with a BS degree in Biology with high honors from Illinois State University in 1974. I completed my dental training with a DDS degree from the University of Illinois at the Medical Center in Chicago in 1978. I set up shop in the Lehman Building in downtown Peoria; taking over Dad's practice. What a trip! First day of work, August 4, 1978, saw 15 patients and made $267.00. I was on my way! Sufficed to say that dentistry sure has changed over the years in so many ways. As the practice grew, the office relocated several times to accommodate growth. From Jefferson Street to North Street to Knoxville Avenue (twice), and now further north at 7815 N. Knoxville Avenue, Suite 9.
