About 

Jeffrey Harr, MD, FACS is a board-certified general surgeon who joined Mountain View Surgical Associates in 2016. After completing his M.D. and M.P.H. at Tulane University, Dr. Harr completed his surgical training at the University of Colorado in 2014, where he also was recognized for his extensive research in trauma surgery. He then completed an advanced laparoscopic and robotic surgery fellowship at the George Washington University in Washington, D.C., where he specialized in minimally invasive approaches in foregut, colorectal, and complex hernia surgeries. He has presented his research at national and international conferences and has published in some of the top surgical journals. In his free time, Dr. Harr enjoys spending time in the Colorado outdoors with his wife and two daughters.
