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. Not all members participating in contracted networks have "in network" access. In network participation may change from time to time without prior notice. 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.

Patients appreciate
Dr. James Harrison receives consistent praise for his clear communication and thorough explanations of medical conditions and procedures. Patients frequently describe him as professional, knowledgeable, and caring, with many noting that he takes time to answer questions and ensures they understand their diagnosis and treatment options. His personable and friendly demeanor is highlighted across numerous reviews, with patients appreciating his ability to make them feel comfortable during vulnerable situations. Many reviewers specifically mention his compassion and concern for patients, particularly those dealing with serious conditions like cancer. His surgical skills are also praised, with patients reporting excellent outcomes and smooth recoveries.
Patients also share
While the majority of reviews are highly positive, several patients express concerns about Dr. Harrison appearing rushed or spending limited time with them during appointments. A few reviews mention he could take more time with patients or seemed brief during visits. Most notably, one detailed review from October 2025 describes a particularly negative experience where the patient felt Dr. Harrison was rude, dismissive, and uninterested in their concerns, hadn't reviewed their chart, and rushed through the appointment in less than five minutes. Another review from the same month mentions the doctor seemed annoyed or disinterested with patient concerns. One patient also noted feeling that they were taking up his time when they had been referred incorrectly to his specialty.
