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.

Would not recommend him.
He never listened to what I said was wrong with me. Ran 5 tests and blood work. He said all was normal but my vit B12 was less than 159. He refused to treat me. All my symptoms were for low B12. So he is going to refer me to a pain management doctor. I’m losing my ability to walk and I’m not complaining of pain. I need help before I’m bed ridden. He refused.

Never called about MRI results!
My husband was referred to Dr. Harrison by PCP. It took almost 3 months to get in for a 15 minute visit. He did a couple of tests, and prescribed an antidepressant! There was absolutely no one in his office but him, a nurse, and receptionist. So why the wait? We received the MRI results through text message, with no report or explanation. NOTHING! Not even from the PCP! I sent the images to a friend who is a Nurse Practitioner and husband is an ER doctor, and they both knew there was something wrong. Another 2-3 months go by, because we had to wait on another referral for a memory expert…full blown dementia at the age of 54! I wouldn’t send my worst enemy to either dr. Harrison or PCP!

Very expensive. Make sure they bill insurance and do not charge then charge you. Met out of pocket for year but still billed $800 for one visit/test.

Terrible. Took my mother - she was having memory issues. He ran test after test after test was condescending as hell and never gave us a diagnosis. No solutions. Her nurse practitioner three weeks later diagnosed her with vascular dementia —- seriously how hard is this? My mother is in her 90s.

I was referred to this office by my PCP. I received a voicemail from this office to schedule my appointment. They also stated they were going to need an Ins. referral from my PCP before they can schedule me and once they received that they would give me a call! Four days later, the office called again to schedule, It was my understanding this office was performing the task of getting the Ins. auth. codes. Even the voicemail message indicated they were contacting the PCP office for that info. I later learned they expected me, the patient, to track down the PCP referral coordinator put in the request for their office, and then make the appointment. I had been to 4 other doctors offices in the previous month and not one of them asked or expected me to perform this task. I am sure the Doctor is Great.

Horrible experience. I had an MRI done and called for results. The main person at the front desk told me my results were normal. I told her my MRI’s had reflected an abnormality for the last 10 years. I asked to speak to the nurse and she refused. She raised her voice and then hung up on me. A few days later I received a letter from his office stating that he would no longer see me because he did not accept my insurance. This wasn’t true. His office verified payment before me seeing the Dr. the first visit. My Ins co did make pmt. I will never go to his office again.

Every year I have to come in for a regular epilepsy check up. Last year I had a 9am appt. wasn't seen until 11. Today, 9am appt. here I sit at 10am again waiting to be seen. Nice doc. Horrible secretary. Getting approvals for refill regular medications takes at least a week for approval. Time to change doctors.
