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.

My experience with surgery
Dr Harrison's approach. He cares for patients and their families. Also hospital is very clean and with good personnel. My surgery was successful, thanks to Dr. Harrison. I would always recommend him.

INITIAL OFFICE VISIT WITH DR. HARRISON
I came to see Dr. Harrison for the first time on 8/31/23. Being in a wheelchair due to Covid-19 2020, several outstanding members of his medical team helped me get settled comfortably in the exam room. As soon as Dr. Harrison walked through the door and said hello, I felt confident I was in good hands. He reviewed my CT scan results, discussed his findings with me, answered all my questions, smiled and gently offered his hand as my eyes filled up with tears of joy! I would indeed recommend this very capable doctor and kind human being.

Beware of dr. Harrison seems believable in the beginning. As time goes on you see a completely different side and that side is no longer good or believable. Patients beware!!

Dr. Harrison never followed up with a rare post op complication. He didn’t return phone calls or try to help us. He left us stranded to deal with this mistake he did.

What can l say he's a great Dr.and l will definitely recommend him .He's a Doctor that explain everything to you before surgery and reasure you that things will be ok even if you a chicken like me.lol. But all kidding aside he has great bedside manners always early to see how you doing and when he do surgery he make sure your doing well.l cannot complain. And when visiting his office everyone in there are a great.From the moment you walk in to the moment you leave.
