Biography
|
Dr. Harrison was born in Baytown, TX. He graduated from Texas A&M with honors. He has the distinction of being board-certified in three disciplines: General Surgery, Colorectal Surgery and Vascular ... Surgery. Dr. Harrison is a proponent for education. In addition to being a surgeon, he has also been an instructor for the Baylor College of Medicine Physician Assistant Program. His membership in several professional associations keeps him on top of the latest technology in all three fields. Dr. Harrison uses robot-assisted technology to perform minimally invasive surgery. Patients benefit from shorter hospital stays, less pain, and a lower risk of infection due to the nature of the procedure. Dr. Harrison married his high school sweetheart, Denise and they have four grown children. He and his wife moved to Austin from Tyler, TX to be closer to their children. They look forward to getting involved with their community and giving back. View More |

Insurances accepted
Baylor Scott & White has established agreements with several types of insurance to ensure your health needs are covered.
Insurance listings are subject to change without prior notice.
Please call your physician's office or your health or insurance plan to verify coverage information prior to scheduling your visit or procedure.

Independent providers (which could include, for example only, anesthesiologists, radiologists, pathologists, emergency medicine physicians, advance practice professionals, and other independent providers of health care services) may deliver part of your care, and such providers may be considered out-of-network on your health and insurance plans even if the Facility may be considered in network. If you desire additional information as to the providers who may be involved in providing your care, you can either ask your treating provider (who may know some of the specialists or groups who could be involved) or you can request a list of Facility-based physician groups by calling the following toll free number: (877) 810-0372. This list is updated annually and is subject to change without prior notice.

Overview of patient comments
Summary created using AI
Patient comments are gathered from our Press Ganey Patient Satisfaction Survey and are displayed in their entirety. Patients are de-identified for confidentiality and patient privacy.
Patients appreciate
Dr. James Harrison receives overwhelmingly positive feedback from the vast majority of his patients, who consistently praise his professionalism, knowledge, and communication skills. Patients frequently describe him as caring, compassionate, and personable, with many noting that he takes time to thoroughly explain procedures, diagnoses, and treatment options in ways they can understand. His ability to listen to patient concerns and answer questions thoughtfully is mentioned repeatedly. Many patients appreciate his direct, honest approach and his skill as a surgeon, with several specifically mentioning excellent surgical outcomes for cancer, hernias, and other procedures. Patients also value that he makes them feel comfortable during vulnerable examinations and that he demonstrates genuine concern for their wellbeing.
Patients also share
A small but significant number of patients expressed concerns about Dr. Harrison appearing rushed or brief during appointments, with some feeling they had insufficient time to discuss their concerns. Several reviews mention visits lasting only a few minutes, leaving patients wanting more thorough explanations or follow-up discussion. The most serious criticisms come from two patients in October 2025 who described him as rude, dismissive, annoyed with their questions, and inattentive to their medical histories and concerns. One patient, a nurse, reported that Dr. Harrison rolled his eyes, interrupted repeatedly, and failed to review the chart, while another felt he triggered past trauma by rushing through an examination without adequate explanation or sensitivity. A few other patients noted he could occasionally seem displeased about referrals or appear less engaged when patients didn't fit his specialty area.
