Harry practices General Surgery. He studied medicine at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine is a one of the best medicals schools. Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine has a rank of 3 in research and a 29 in primary care He received awards:"Fellow (FACHE)" and "Fellow (FACS)". Harry is a published doctor and has 80 publications published. The lastest was: 'Glucocorticoids upregulate intestinal nutrient transport in a time-dependent and substrate-specific fashion.'
