Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Amazing!
Dr. Harrison and his staff are amazing! I love my surgery results and wish I would have had my breast augmentation sooner.

Very Pleased!
After having breast implant surgery 20 years ago in my 40s, I decided it was time to remove the implants and return to my natural self! I found Dr Harrison and scheduled explant surgery with lipo and fat transfer to my breasts. It’s been 10 weeks and I’m very pleased with the results! Dr Harrison is an excellent doctor and surgeon and he and his staff are so professional and caring. They all took such good care of me and I’m so appreciative!

Exceeded expectations!
I am beyond grateful to have found Dr. Harrison and his amazing team. From the very first consultation to now, they have made this entire journey of my tummy tuck, muscle repair, liposuction, and breast lift incredibly smooth. Dr. Harrison is not only a top-notch surgeon, but also a kind, compassionate person who has a gift for making you feel at ease. His ability to calm your nerves with a laugh when you’re anxious is something I deeply appreciated.Although I’m still swollen, I am already thrilled with the results—I tear up every time I look in the mirror because I can’t believe the transformation. Is this really me?! Dr. Harrison has truly changed my life for the better. His skill, care, and attention to detail are unmatched. I can’t thank him and his staff enough for their professionalism, kindness, and support throughout this process.Thank you, Dr. Harrison, for making me truly feel confident and beautiful, honestly, for the first time in my life!

Best surgeon around
Turning 50 was a milestone for me, and I decided to undergo a breast lift and implants procedure. Dr. Harrison and his exceptional team exceeded all my expectations. Not only did they deliver impeccable results, but Dr. Harrison's personal touch truly stood out. He went above and beyond by personally checking in on me multiple times after the surgery and even performed a scar repair procedure in his office out of genuine care for my well-being and confidence. I cannot praise him and his staff enough for their professionalism, expertise, and genuine compassion. Without hesitation, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Harrison as the top choice for anyone considering cosmetic or plastic surgery. Even the hospital staff echoed my sentiment, expressing their admiration for Dr. Harrison and their joy in working alongside him.

Horrible office staff!
Went and saw Dr. Harrison he seemed nice enough and acted like he cared. But for the office staff different story. I was seen on the 19th of February and called on Wednesday the 21st and asked to speak with Linda the surgery scheduling and was told 2 different lies, One was she has a patient in her office and 2 seconds later was she’s out til Monday. So which one was it. I feel like I wasted my time and my money. They also forgot to tell me that they charge a consultation fee. I really feel like they will lose patients who would like to schedule with lies like these. I guess he already has enough patients. I will not be back.

Best doctor in East Texas!
Dr. Harrison is a very talented and blessed doctor! After spending thousands of dollars and trying numerous other cosmetic procedures, I finally landed at Dr. Harrison's office. I had old acne scars that I could not get rid of and then wrinkles on top of the scarring. Everyone I saw promised to help, but nothing did until I saw Dr Harrison! I had given up and decided to just get a facelift, but Dr Harrison suggested a croton oil peel. Best decision I ever made! The acne scars are FINALLY gone as well as the wrinkles! I feel and look like a new person. I only wish I had come here sooner. And the staff here is the BEST!

Best decision ever!
I had a “Mommy Makeover” nearly 2 years ago with Dr. Harrison. I cannot say enough good things about him, his staff, and my results! Dr. Harrison has a way of making you feel comfortable while adding levity to any given situation. I also personally appreciated the pre-procedure prayer and post procedure flowers in my room and phone calls checking on me. Dr. Harrison truly cares and values his patients. He focuses on listening to the desires of his patients while delivering the best results possible. Thank you Dr. Harrison and team!

Couldnt be happier
Dr. Harrison is an absolute gem of a person. Great bed side manner, hilarious, and most important he did a fantastic job! I have suffered from gynecomastia since puberty and have always been extremely self-conscious about it. Dr. Harrison's procedure has increased my confidence, and I finally feel happy when looking into the mirror. If you're looking for a plastic surgeon, look no further and make an appointment with Dr. Harrison.

Tummy Tuck/breast augmentation/lipo/buttocks
Dr. Harrison is great! He is attentive and listens to my wants/needs. Surgery went well, he checked on me the next morning and called me thru out the weekend. My follow-up appointment, I was able to see his 'work.' WOW, amazing! Dr. Harrison is a sincere, warm soul that cares about your wants and what your self esteem inquires. I was given a bouquet of flowers from Dr. Harrison and his staff (which are amazing and sweet, helpful people!!!) wishing me a speedy recovery after my follow up visit. I highly recommend Dr. Harrison and his staff 100%.

Definitely a true blessing!
I have been a patient of Dr. Harrison for a span of four years. Throughout this time, I have been genuinely impressed by his compassionate and composed nature, which effectively puts me at ease during our treatment discussions. Dr. Harrison possesses a delightful sense of humor alongside unwavering religious beliefs, and he consistently exhibits transparency in all his actions and words. Recently, I underwent a procedure involving the replacement of my old implants with new ones, in addition to a breast lift and axillary liposuction. I must express my utmost satisfaction with the outcomes as they are truly phenomenal. Alongside Dr. Harrison, his staff is equally remarkable - they are not only pleasant to interact with but also demonstrate patience, knowledge, and an unwavering commitment to prioritizing the needs of the patients. Without any reservations, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Harrison and his exceptional team to anyone in search of incredible results and a superb experience.

Glad I did it!
I chose Dr. Craig E. Harrison for a breast lift with implants and couldn't be happier. His initial consultation was in-depth. Dr. Harrison answered all my questions; he listened carefully to my concerns and created a personalized approach to achieve the desired results. He made me feel at ease with my decision to have surgery. I followed his recommendations for what size implants would best fit my body, and he was spot on. The procedure was not painless, but recovery was pretty easy; I returned to work one week later. I am only 6-weeks post-op as I write this, but my new breasts look amazing! I am genuinely grateful for his beautiful work. Additionally, Dr. Harrison's office staff are by far the best. They are always professional and courteous. I feel welcomed and comfortable when I am there. I have natural-looking breasts, and my confidence was boosted 1000%!Thank you, Dr. Harrison and staff, for an exceptional experience!

Great Dr/ Super Results
Staff is very kind and refreshing. Dr. Harrison is very professional and takes pride in his ability to help his patients. Never felt rushed with any visit and he took the time to hear my concerns and needs. Explained every option in detail. After losing 100lbs I felt very ashamed of my body, with look of skin melting and sagging. Dr Harrison made a plan an executed it with perfection. My arms, thighs, back and boobs look better and more youthfull. Thank you, Dr Harrison for giving me my confidence back!

Perfectionism at its best!
Dr Harrison was so great, he took so much time making sure I had all my questions answered and listening to all my concerns and helping me decide what would be the best thing for me. I had Lipo then fat grafted it into my butt, cheeks, lips, and hands. I also had a lift and fat grafted to create better symmetry. His attention to detail made me feel so comfortable. The procedure went so great and results are just as expected. I am very happy and am actually a return patient and would definitely recommend Dr. Harrison for anyone needing/wanting a cosmetic surgery

Fantastic experience
My entire experience was superb. Smooth, on-time office visits; online portal; friendly, knowledgeable staff; fast insurance preauthorization turnaround, quick surgery date; easy to understand preparation instructions and education; extra measures were taken to preserve my dignity and my recovery was easier and less painful than expected. I really appreciated the daily calls from Dr. H after surgery to make sure my recovery was going well and answer my questions. I am just thrilled with my results and wish I’d done it decades ago! I had a great experience and I’ve already recommended Dr. H to several others.

Dr. Allen is fantastic!
I went in to see if there was anything that could be done about my tired eyes and jawline. Dr. Allen spent our time explaining what and how she could help me look and feel better about myself. I'm in my early 60's and was afraid I was too far gone! But wait... Dr. Allen to the rescue! Her knowledge of facial anatomy and her relaxed style put me at ease and she went over the many options available to me gave me confidence and enthusiasm to move forward with filler around my eyes and jawline. I'm so glad I did this! Her personality and natural beauty are inspiring and encouraging without being intimidating at all. I'm very impressed and pleased with my results. The entire office staff is friendly and helpful. Fear not ladies and gentlemen there's a solution right here in Tyler Texas!

It doesn't get any better than Dr. Harrison!
I consulted with Dr. Harrison this past spring to discuss options for replacing breast implants (from 2003 when Dr. Harrison performed my original augmentation). When we met, he spent over an hour with us and gave us several options besides just replacement. I had no idea there were so many options! What we ultimately decided on was implant removal, fat grafting to breasts and face, mastopexy and a BBL - and it was much more affordable than I anticipated. Recovery for me was about 10 days, then I was able to return to work. I'm writing this review at 3 months post op and I'm extremely happy. My clothes fit better, my face looks fresh and rested and I have my figure back. In his office, the staff members are professional, experienced and very attentive. Dr. Harrison asks lots of questions to fully understand what you want and makes sure you have reasonable expectations. He listens, then he puts his patients' needs/wants first. He really is an artist and has mastered his craft.

Amazing Doctor
Dr. Harrison is your go-to person for any cosmetic work (plus he has gorgeous blue eyes and is super funny). His entire team from consultation to surgery was top-notch. I'd had used another surgeon for my tummy tuck two years prior and the scar wasn't straight and had a "ditch" like appearance. Dr. Harrison spent time listening to how I wanted it to look and devised a plan to make it happen. On the day of surgery, Dr. Harrison put my mind at ease and supported me for the entire hospital stay. He even came back to the hospital at midnight during bad weather to check on me and make sure I was doing okay. His office sent a beautiful flower arrangement to brighten up my hospital room. Over the Easter weekend recovery period, Dr. Harrison called to see how I was doing and if I had any questions. Recovery was smooth and I was back in the office within 5 days! If you are considering any cosmetic surgery give Dr. Harrison a call!!
