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.

Dr Paul Harrison is amazing!!!
I started going to see Dr. Harrison 7 years ago and he is the only one out of all the doctors I went to that was able to figure out what was causing my skin to flare up and how to treat it. Him and his staff are amazing. They always treat me with kindness and show that they care and want to help me. I would definitely recommend him to all my friends and family.

Highly Recommend
Dr Paul Harrison and his entire staff were amazing! They were all extremely professional, friendly, highly experienced and genuinely love what they do. Dr Harrison in particular, was incredible. His experience in the medical field, and of course dermatology, blew me away. He is very meticulous...a perfectionist, with a great bedside manner. He made me feel at ease with each one of my 6 basal cell removal surgeries and did impeccable work. I doubt any scarring on any of the six areas will be visible after 2 months. What impressed me most about Dr Harrison was his dedication and commitment to his patients and his passion for his work. There wasn't a single visit where he wasn't happy, smiling, and making his patients and staff comfortable and at ease.

I am really thankful to Dr. Harrison. I have had hyperhidrosis ever since I was a young child. I have been to multiple doctors to treat it. However, every doctor I had previously gone to disregarded its affect on my social, and academic life. They all kept giving me treatments that weren't effective, and deny any further treatment options. He was the first doctor to actually give me the proper help, and attention to cure it's symptoms. I have since gone to him for acne, and discoloration. Which he has treated with the same level of care, and attentiveness as before. I have gotten great results from this doctor as opposed to the previous ones I had gone to.

I have been a patient of Dr. Paul Harrison for the past 15 years. He has performed 4 Mohs surgeries and each one has gone wonderfully. He has a fantastic staff, comfortable atmosphere and quality service. I must admit that before the first surgery, I was nervous and worried. I have always been afraid of needles and shots. To my amazement I have never felt ANY pain from injections or surgery. Throughout the entire surgeries Dr. Harrison would ask how I was doing. Without his care, patience, and professionalism I would be in trouble. He has made such a difference in my life! As I approaching retirement at age: 73 I know he will take care of my dermatological needs.

Dr. Harrison understood my concerns when I came to see him about 3 lesions on my face. I had been under the care of a different dermatologist for three years prior for the same three spots, without even a biopsy! Dr Harrison took me under his wing and took care of me. I had three Basal Cell Carcinomas on my face. I was soooo very concerned more about scarring than the actual cancer growing on my face. He kept telling me that his primary focus was removing all of the cancer. Well little did I know that he is an artist! I actually smiled when the bandage came off the following morning! I may have even giggled! I wanted to call and thank him, as my scar was hardly noticeable just one day out! I also had two other Mohs procedures on my face, which also have amazing results . He took SUCH good care of me! The talent Dr. Harrison has is a blessing to his patients. His first priority is cancer removal, his ability and artistry for closing the wounds are an astounding second.

I've been to a few different dermatologists over the past 25 years, including a couple with flashy and expensive waiting rooms...that we're paying for (Woseth). Dr Harrison is now my go-to dermatologist for a number of reasons. First, his work. He removed a basil cell carcinoma from my right side burn area. It was the size of a dime and required some reconstructive skill, including a flap. Needless to say, the scar was almost invisible in a week! I was blown away! His bedside manner is incredible--very friendly and patient. He genuinely cared about my situation. His staff was also amazing, very friendly and accommodating. I would highly recommend Dr Harrison for all of your dermatology needs. I'll never use anyone else.

Been seeing Dr Harrison for many years. He has always been so attentive and helpful. Had a basal cell carcinoma removed using Moh's surgery about 10 years ago. Great results. Just had a melanoma in situ removed. And he was so kind and gracious, making sure I was doing ok. Very thorough, which was very appreciated. Thanks for making this hard experience a great process.

I showed Dr Harrison a spot on my finger that wouldn't heal. Twice he treated (~$280 for 2 treatments) what he said was a wart but after his treatments and it still didn't go away I went to my primary physician who looked at the spot and said it wasn't a wart but a deeply embedded splinter. Splinter was removed and the spot then healed quickly. Dermatologists SHOULD be able to identify a simple wart.

I never leave reviews and this isn’t even related to Dr Harrison. He was an adequate doctor but the woman at the front desk is always so rude. Even on the phone when asking simple questions, she’s rude. Maybe it’s time to consider hiring someone who better represents him. Or at least keep her away from the public.

We showed up 15 minutes early and yet waited nearly an hour after our scheduled appointment before being seen by Dr Harrison. All without the slightest mention of an apology for being late. Hopefully his prescription is more effective than the respect he had for our time.

Dr. Harrison "knew" what my skin condition was and would not do a biopsy of the skin lesions, even though the allergy doctor was requesting one. When he finally relented and did a biopsy, what I was dealing with was not what he "knew" it was. He said he had not seen anyone with my condition so we would learn together how to treat it. Not a good answer. I went to another specialist to receive treatment. He seems to be very intelligent but lacks in personality and patient interaction.

Hello ItsMe in South Jordan, UT – Nov 03, 2016
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Harrison?
I've been seeing Dr. Harrison for 2 years. I set 8 am appointments so I can get to work on time, but he is chronically late. I always wait at least 30 minutes despite being his first client of the day. This morning I had to leave his office at 8:40 before he even arrived. I've felt rushed in several of my appointments, probably because he's trying to play catch up. However, he's helped my acne, and one time I was stressed about paying for prescriptions, he gave me a bunch of samples to help.

He is the best! I went to Dr. Harris in 2010. Thanks to him, his testings, knowledge and wonderful opinions, I finally went on the right path to fixing a severe metal allergy. I would still be in pain and in a walking boot if it wasn't for him!! I still think of him and his kindness a lot! Loved everything about him and his nice staff! He saved me!!
