Your trust is our top concern.

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

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

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.

Horrible result
Friendly attitude during the consultation is not a substitute for the surgical outcome! All problems occurred in the surgery room. My eyebrows collapsed just a few days after surgery with all the creases on my forehead as before. He not only didn't make it better but made it worse! Now I have an indented area above my eyebrow with the bag of skin formed right next too it. We spoke about long lasting result and Dr. Harbison didn't say anything against my idea and didn't warn me that he just won't make it better. Normally, the upper face lift with eye brows repositioning people do only ones a life and it lasts for years. No post up care and no one ever called during the whole year to check on my healing. I feel very disrespected with wasted money! These are the facts about my case, and I hope it will be useful as you make a decision. The whole entire experience suggests that this doctor more seemingly is a businessmen who cares about his profit only.

Amazing and truly outstanding experience from start to finish!!! Dr. Harbison is an incredibly gifted and intuitive surgeon who was committed to providing me the absolute best aesthetic outcome possible. Dr. Harbison listened carefully to my concerns, and clearly outlined his plan to address them...in a very empathetic and engaging manner. Each member of his team was absolutely incredible as well! It was very evident that each person in this office had my best interests in mind...every step of the way. I can’t express my appreciation enough....and I couldn’t be happier with my results!!!

I was there for 5 minutes for a quick consultation. I thought Dr. Harbinson was great. He was direct and summed what I needed to have done up nicely. I’m glad he will be repairing my lip.

Dr Harbison took the time to make sure everything was going well and listened to concerns. He’s professional and my care and healing were important to him. He kept close track after my surgery and responded right away to every concern and question. His staff was equally responsive, personable and helpful.

My sister recommended I meet with Dr Harbison for advice because I felt like I looked tired and noticed my co workers commenting that I look angry. He spent a lot of time talking to me about surgery and filler. He helped me come up with a plan. He was very honest with me and suggested I try filler then consider surgery in a few years. He made the injection process very comfortable and easy. I will be back!

I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Harbison at a medical lecture. I was so impressed with his expertise that I booked a second opinion with him concerning my upper eyelid surgery. He was warm, extremely patient in answering all of my questions and very precise in the description of my surgery. I was so relieved to have gotten his second opinion and walked out of his office knowing I was in the best hands for this job! I am over the moon happy with my results and will recommend him always!

I had the pleasure of having Dr. Harbison for my deviated septum nose surgery. I have never had any surgerys before so you could say i was nervous. He made me never worry once. He was the absolute best doctor I could have asked for. Through everything. The pre appts leading up to the surgery, and even after. I am very pleased with how my nose turned out. Dr. Harbison is very kind and will answer any questions you may have. All around an outstanding doctor!! Would highly recommend.

Dr. Harbison went to great lengths to fit me into his busy schedule on very short notice. It was greatly appreciated! The care I received from him and his staff was top notch. I would definitely refer him to anyone in need of a great ENT!
