Fantastic experience
My entire experience was superb. Smooth, on-time office visits; online portal; friendly, knowledgeable staff; fast insurance preauthorization turnaround, quick surgery date; easy to understand preparation instructions and education; extra measures were taken to preserve my dignity and my recovery was easier and less painful than expected. I really appreciated the daily calls from Dr. H after surgery to make sure my recovery was going well and answer my questions. I am just thrilled with my results and wish I’d done it decades ago! I had a great experience and I’ve already recommended Dr. H to several others.

Dr. Allen is fantastic!
I went in to see if there was anything that could be done about my tired eyes and jawline. Dr. Allen spent our time explaining what and how she could help me look and feel better about myself. I'm in my early 60's and was afraid I was too far gone! But wait... Dr. Allen to the rescue! Her knowledge of facial anatomy and her relaxed style put me at ease and she went over the many options available to me gave me confidence and enthusiasm to move forward with filler around my eyes and jawline. I'm so glad I did this! Her personality and natural beauty are inspiring and encouraging without being intimidating at all. I'm very impressed and pleased with my results. The entire office staff is friendly and helpful. Fear not ladies and gentlemen there's a solution right here in Tyler Texas!

It doesn't get any better than Dr. Harrison!
I consulted with Dr. Harrison this past spring to discuss options for replacing breast implants (from 2003 when Dr. Harrison performed my original augmentation). When we met, he spent over an hour with us and gave us several options besides just replacement. I had no idea there were so many options! What we ultimately decided on was implant removal, fat grafting to breasts and face, mastopexy and a BBL - and it was much more affordable than I anticipated. Recovery for me was about 10 days, then I was able to return to work. I'm writing this review at 3 months post op and I'm extremely happy. My clothes fit better, my face looks fresh and rested and I have my figure back. In his office, the staff members are professional, experienced and very attentive. Dr. Harrison asks lots of questions to fully understand what you want and makes sure you have reasonable expectations. He listens, then he puts his patients' needs/wants first. He really is an artist and has mastered his craft.

Amazing Doctor
Dr. Harrison is your go-to person for any cosmetic work (plus he has gorgeous blue eyes and is super funny). His entire team from consultation to surgery was top-notch. I'd had used another surgeon for my tummy tuck two years prior and the scar wasn't straight and had a "ditch" like appearance. Dr. Harrison spent time listening to how I wanted it to look and devised a plan to make it happen. On the day of surgery, Dr. Harrison put my mind at ease and supported me for the entire hospital stay. He even came back to the hospital at midnight during bad weather to check on me and make sure I was doing okay. His office sent a beautiful flower arrangement to brighten up my hospital room. Over the Easter weekend recovery period, Dr. Harrison called to see how I was doing and if I had any questions. Recovery was smooth and I was back in the office within 5 days! If you are considering any cosmetic surgery give Dr. Harrison a call!!

I have no words to describe what a wonderful Dr. Harrison is; he explained me every step of my procedure and even called me on Sunday afternoon just to see how I was doing. I had a double chin removed and did a great job on me. His nurses were super friendly at all times too, so I’ll give him a 5 starts for being suck a great doctor.

Dr Harrison, his staff, and UT Health surgery center took great care of me. All very professional and caring. Dr Harrison did a wonderful job. I had a removal and replacement of 22 yr old saline implants with new gel implants. Wow!! They are perfectly aligned now, soft and so natural feeling. I could not be happier! As a medical professional myself, it takes a lot to impress me. The results far exceeded my expectations!

Dr. Harrison and his staff are simply the best! The ladies at the office are so welcoming, friendly, patient, and knowledgeable. They go over everything in detail and answer any questions you may have. Dr. Harrison does an amazing job and he has great bed side manner. I had breast reduction surgery and it has changed my life. No more back and shoulder pain, tons more shirt options, exercising is easier without the extra heaviness from large breasts, and I am much more comfortable. Dr. Harrison is a perfectionist and my scars are so minimal. I’ve seen some after reduction pictures online and my scars are much thinner and straight. I am so thankful that I found Dr. Harrison. He and his staff truly care about their patients and I highly, highly recommend him.

Simply the BEST! I recently had liposuction on my arms and chin and had a breast lift with fat grafting. I could NOT BE HAPPIER with my results! I've always been self-conscious about my upper arms and I've never had perky breasts. Now, my arms have definition and look proportionate to the rest of me, my fat around my back and bra line is gone AND I am much more perky! Dr. Harrison gave me volume in my upper breast area that I never knew I needed. I could not be more pleased with how they look. Additionally, my face looks so much better and more youthful. I feel so much more confident and look years younger! I trust Dr. Harrison to always be honest about what I need and what results to expect. He listened and didn't try to talk me into anything I don't really need. His staff is absolutely amazing. They are professional, kind & always greet me by name with a smile. If you're looking for the best, Dr. Harrison is it!

I can not express how thankful I am for Dr Harrison and his amazing staff! They make you comfortable from the moment you walk in the door ? Each one of them remembers small things about me that most people wouldn't remember... they truly care about their patients! I have never been truly happy with my body and have always dreamed of having a "mommy makeover" one day... I picked the perfect place to get it done! Dr Harrison is great about walking you through each step, answers all of the silly questions and always does his best to make you as comfortable as possible with whatever the situation is! He is very open and honest about the procedures and recovery! I have never loved my body more then I do now... After loosing all the baby weight it was finally time to take the big step! I am 5 months post-op... 4 months ago I would have laughed if you asked if it was worth it (because guys that recovery was tough)... but now I am so pleased with the results that I would recommend it to ever

We moved here a few years ago and I have been planning this surgery for 3. I have been researching surgeons to choose the right one for years. Dr. Harrison had recommendations from a few medical professionals that I trust. I was not disappointed. Dr. Harrison did a fabulous job on my surgery and has been great post operatively. Dr. Harrison really cares about his patients and I’m glad I chose him to improve my confidence.

Dr Harrison and his staff are lovely. He is one of the few doctors I’ve met who does not make you feel like a number on a chart. He seems to really care about patient needs/wants while not sugar coating the truth. I scheduled a breast augmentation with him and the whole process went beautifully as did my results; 10/10 experience and I definitely recommend his services!

From the moment I had my first appointment with Dr. Harrison, I knew I Had made the right decision choosing him for my breast lift with implant surgery. After many recommendations and research, he was the best in his field. He spent over an hour with me discussing my options and helping me choose the right procedure for me. After surgery, he called me on the weekend to make sure I was doing well And to answer any questions I might have. The ladies in the office were great as well. Always making me feel comfortable and were very professional. I love my results!!! Wish I had chosen to do this years ago. Thank you Dr. Harrison!!

Dr. Harrison just performed my third cosmetic procedure. I am a 59 year old woman, and have had a breast reduction, tummy tuck, and most recently, a face/neck lift. Obviously, I love his work, and I trust him completely. If you are considering cosmetic surgery, I highly suggest calling Dr. Harrison for a consultation. The sooner you do it, the longer you can enjoy it.

Dr Harrison helped me so much. I had lipo and breast augmentation and I am completely satisfied with the results. My clothes fit better and I feel great. His staff is sweet and caring and Dr Harrison is very knowledgeable. The first two weeks after surgery was tough but I did what he said and it was fine. I’m so glad I did this. I highly recommend Dr Harrison. Everything he said that would happen was correct. He did a great job.

He utilized the entire consultation time to thoroughly explain my breast augmentation procedure and answered any questions I had. He was honest, upfront, and personable. I left with no unanswered questions. My surgery went well and he checked on me all weekend which I appreciated. I am very pleased with the results and would recommend him and his staff without a doubt!
