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.

WHAT A PHYSICIAN
Dr. Harrison is a great human being first and an excellent physician. My cousin had been having some issues with his lungs and he had previously seen Dr. Harrison. He (i.e., my cousin) was not too sure of what the plan was going forward and therefore, requested a follow up visit and asked me to come along.Dr. Harrison spent a decent amount of time explaining to me, my cousin and his wife his recommendations. He took his own time explaining the pros and cons of the planned procedure with no pressure or haste to move on to the next patient. I will not hesitate to recommend this doctor to anyone who needs his care. Thank you Dr. Harrison...this is truly what a clinician should be.

First rate heart surgeon
In early 2021 Dr. Harrison repaired my aortic root using a graft and in addition repaired the adjacent value. This was a big surgery and the outcome has been excellent.

Dr Harrison has an excellent beside manner and explained what the surgery would entail and possible recovery period. This was my brothers' triple bypass heart surgery. After surgery he explained what was found including an un- expected issue that he was able to correct to avoid complications latter.Our family and friends are very satisfied with the outcome
