    Dr. Harrison and his team are great. I very much appreciated his office calling me to. One into discuss the results of a recent MRI that I had. I am being followed because of a bout of pancreatitis.

    I've been A patient of this doctor for two years. He's always been courteous and interested in what I have to say. However, this particular visit I tried to explain something and he just cut me off. I do realize that physicians do have bad days just as well as anybody else. My daughter, who usually goes to these appointments with me, stated to me that she thought he was rude at this visit. I Guess I was just used to him being very outgoing. Would I change positions no.
