I needed a podiatrist and contacted the office for Dr. Harrison. His scheduler was very friendly, and I was able to secure an appointment for the following week. I found Dr. Harrison to be informative, patient, friendly and possesses an excellent bedside manner. He assessed my situation, listened to my concerns and thoroughly explained my options for a remedy. I'm very grateful to have found an excellent, experienced podiatrist. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Harrison is amazing! He is incredibly insightful, calming, and careful with everything. I was a bit worried going in but he totally put me at ease and did a fantastic job. Would totally recommend him to anyone looking for a good DPM. I saw some reviews here that talked about complications across his multiple offices. I experienced no such issue and his assistant was extremely helpful and always readily available when I had questions about where/when to see him. Wonderful experience!!

Have been seeing Dr Harrison for years on various foot issues. He's a great doctor and really wants to help his patients. Have had neuromas, fractures (including a Jones fracture requiring surgery) and sprains. Dr Harrison always knows what is needed and the results have been exemplary. Highly recommended!

I was in San Francisco on vacation when I severely twisted my ankle navigating the amazing streets - if you're a native, you know what I'm talking about!
Not being from the area, I called a friend of mine to see if he knew of anyone I should go see. My friend recommended Dr. Harrison.
Even though I was out of town, his office agreed to see me right away. They had no problem taking my insurance even though I was out of town, and I had only a 15 minute wait to see the Doctor.
I was relieved to find out that I hadn't broken anything after the Xray Dr. Harrison took. He bandaged up

I have been seeing Dr Harrison go over 22 years. I had very painful feet and after a consultation he came up with a solution. He is an excellent surgeon! He is so kind and caring I really don't know what the bad reviews are. It could have been a bad day but I can tell you that would be few and far between. I have found his bedside manner to be so trusting. I am so happy I contacted Dr Harrison.

Do not waste your time or money with Dr. Harrison. This is hard to admit...as I am actually a 10 year patient of Dr Harrison's. While I haven't seen him in 5 years, something has clearly changed with him and his practice...and not for the good.
Firstly, he is completely disorganized. He has had several offices around the Bay area for a while but can't seem to get to any of them on time. This seems to be the #1 complaint about the guy and it is not to be underestimated. He does not get the simple point that no one's time is more important than anyone else's time.

After seeing the great Yelp reviews on Dr. Harrison, I almost reconsidered posting this but then I read Kenneth B's review and I wholeheartedly agreed with him.
I was able to schedule my appointments in SF, but Dr. Harrison was consistently late to every single one because he was usually walking in between several patients at a time. On average, I was waiting an extra 30-40 minutes in the waiting room to be seen.
I wanted to see the doctor for an ankle injury and after three appointments, physical training, x-rays, and many many attempts to up-sell me to custom orthotics and cortisone treatments

I hesitated a long time before writing this review. I don't like to speak ill of people. But ultimately I chose to visit Dr. Harrison because of his superlative Yelp reviews, and I just want to warn people that my experience was not at all what was described by other reviewers.
Sure, he has the faults of most other doctors I've seen in SF: bedside manner leaves a bit to be desired, difficult to schedule appointments (he's only in SF one day a week), often there were long waits in the waiting room before I was seen. But frankly I've come to expect that stuff, and that alone

Great Doctor, very nice.....I am scared of hospital, clinics and just the whole experience...when i entered his clinic, he greeted me and made me comfortable from the beginning....when i entered and sat there inside....he made sure that I was comfortable and that assured me that everything will be okay....During he was time when he was fixing my problem, he was very gentle...explained what he was doing and made sure there was no pain.....I got out of the clinic very satisfied...and the problem was solved..THanks doctor...I wish my experience at hospitals and clinics can be as smooth as my experience

Perhaps the best overall medical experience I've had.
I found Dr. Harrison through my medical provider as I wanted to see a specialist to quickly address a nagging issue. A few things stand out from my experience from that of other medical services that I've sought:
1. My appointment was promptly scheduled (2 days later) and he has 3 locations to choose from. The only reason it took 2 days was that I wanted to see him in a specific location!
2. My appointment started ON TIME. Dr. Harrison performed a procedure on my foot and the entire experience took less than 30 mins. I saw him

I have visited 30+ doctors in my lifetime, and several podiatrists. Not only is Dr. Harrison the best podiatrist I've met but he's the best *Doctor* I've ever met or worked with - bar none. He is a truly caring professional. He spends a lot of time with me giving me options and explaining what's going to happen. Most importantly, he does a great job with his treatments. He is careful and thorough. He is flexible and will help you out. He has talked to me on the phone personally when I had questions and I will absolutely not see anyone else now. Thank you so much, Dr

I went see Dr. Harrison for my ingrown toe nail. I was amazed that they were able to schedule me on the day I called. Very polite doctor and very reassuring in his converstation. He made sure that I wasn't in pain the whole time. The surgery went fast and smooth just as he promised and I felt better as soon as I got off the chair. He has an office in SSF which is real convenient for people who live on the Peninsula like I do.

I took my 8-year old son in to see Dr. Harrison. He was gentle, and very good at explaining things as he was giving the exam, which is really important when dealing with children. I found his bedside manner to be calm and reassuring. My son had a few warts on his feet, and before recommending surgery, which a lot of doctors do, he gave me some easy, non-invasive OTC suggestions for treatment.
I was so pleased with his sensitivity to my son, who has a fear of dr's, needles, and pretty much anything in a medical setting.
I came back to him for some custom orthotics, which have really

Not sure what Yelp means by CLOSED, but Dr. Harrison's office is very OPEN and in practice.
I'm surprised that other people have not yelped this Podiatrist before. I've been seeing Dr. Harrison for over ten years. Initially for custom orthotics and occasional foot injuries from sports. Fast forward ten years, a rich diet and lots of golf, gout and bunions present themselves in both my feet.
After three months of excruciating pain which I thought would go away, Dr. Harrison diagnosed me with gout and bunions and performed two bunion surgeries for me within the same year with stellar

(I was given Dr. Harrison's name by a good friend. ) I had horrible pain in my right foot. I was convinced that I had glass in my foot and even remembered feeling it penetrate my foot. After waiting months for the glass to surface, my friend finally suggested that I call her Podiatrist. (I think she was tired of watching me limp from the pain.) It turns out that it was actually a plantar's wart that had coned itself into my foot and was pressing up against my nerve. It was beyond painful! Dr. Harrison, knew that it was a wart, the minute he saw me. He listened and explained all
