"Dr. Harrison is an exceptional doctor. The likes of him are very rare these days. I NEVER have to wait and when he comes into the room for the appointment , he makes you feel like you are his only patient for the day. He takes his time with you, addresses any questions you might have and explains everything. He is absolutely one of the best doctors I have ever had."
"Dr Harrison is very knowledgeable and thorough. I have been his patient for about I think 5 years and every visit is like a one on one and not just a number. He explains every diagnosis and helps you to understand it. I always look forward to my visits. I highly recommend him."
"I am very impressed with Dr. Stephen Harrison. His bedside manner is exemplary; he patiently spends alot of time with me explaining my illness. He also is a perfect example of being a "health coach" - he takes the time to encourage a healthy lifestyle with diet and exercise - and he "walks the talk". I highly recommend him to any patient with liver disease because he cares and he is very knowledgeable."
"It's a real joy to meet with Dr. Harrison on appointment day. Dr. Harrison is the consummate professional, and also courteous, friendly, and caring. He definitely knows his business, and has helped me get through my medical problems. With his guidance and expertise, I've lost weight, gained energy, and become more active in daily life activities. Dr. Harrison's staff is also professional and capable, and they do their jobs very efficiently. There are some doctors I visit where I'm not looking forward to the appointment - Dr. Harrison is not on that list, but rather he is number one on my list, since I know I'll get sound advice, expert treatment, and leave feeling good about my health and well being. In summary, Dr. Harrison is probably the most outstanding physician I've ever been associated with! Richard Weitzel"
"Candid and professional medical advice much appreciated."
"Dr Stephen A. Harrison has been my hepatologists for over 23 years, since he worked at Brooke Army Medical Center. I presented to him back then with a very sick cirrhotic liver secondary to sarcoidosis. He is a world class liver specialist that solved the pharmaceutical Rubik’s cube to keep me alive and liver cancer at bay throughout these years. He is a uniquely intelligent doctor and I am grateful to call him, my doctor. I last saw him in January 2023."
"Dr Harrison has helped me control my serious illness. He provided excellent services, diet and exercise advices. He answers all my questions and I can trust him with my condition."
"The staff is very professional and cordial and kept in touch with me up to my appointment. I actually drove all the way from Austin to see Dr.Harrison in live oak because no one in Austin could figure out what's wrong with me and just wanted to feed me medication and misdiagnosed me with cases that didn't make sense. Dr.Harrison was able to pin point the reason and explain what I was experiencing and helped me to find solutions to get this pain under control. He was very polite, concerned and cares about his patients and it shows and I chose him specifically because he was a fatty liver specialist and that is something I been fighting for years. The drive and time was worth the wait so if you need a GI, don't hesitate to consider him"
"My recent experience was for a liver test which I have yearly. The technician was excellent."
"I recently completed a consultation visit with Dr. Harrison. It was outstanding. I learned more about what is going on with my body in 10-15 minutes than I had over many sessions with other doctors. He is knowledgable, easy to understand and was patient in answering all of my questions. I look forward to seeing him more in the future. And, the Toepperwein facility was excellent. The staff is friendly and they were prompt to get to me during my appointed time."
"Dr. Harrison gave me several ideas on managing my diagnosis. (ex. I have already joined a gym, and bought a supply of protein drinks.) Looking forward to more sessions. Hope to be able to join a study, too."
"Good care and concern to the patient."
"Dr Harrison is a God send and I didn't even know I needed it. He is very detailed and more them willing to explain in laymen terms what is going on and what he wants to do. I appreciate and thank him for his twenty eight years of military service. And now I'm so thankful that his main study is the liver and he has trial studies to help people with liver problems. And he said he can fix my problem. I thank God for Dr Harrison."
"Dr. Harrison was very kind and made me feel comfortable. He was very professional and provided alot of information. I did not leave with any questions unanswered. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful as well, I feel it is important to mention that because they also make the experience and set the mood for you as well. Definitely recommend this group."
"I was very pleased with my visit with Dr. Harrison. He was detailed, he explained everything in layman terms so you could understand your situation and gave you options. I would recommend Dr. Harrison."
"My first visit was wonderful! Dr. Harrison and the entire staff at Gastroenterology Consultants of San Antonio were very welcoming and made me feel so comfortable. I received top notch care and I am happy to recommend them to anyone! You will not regret choosing them to take care of you!!!"
"i am participating in one of Dr. Harrisons clinical trials. I want to say he is an awesome physician and is so human. Most doctors don't show that side. He and the staff at Pinnacle are professional and friendly and all willing to help when asked. I am glad to be a part of this study and would encourage everyone to have your PCP check your liver enzymes and find out if you have fatty liver disease as it is a silent killer, I had no symptoms at all till it was almost to late. This study will help millions when it is completed and results are measured. Thank you Dr Harrison for always answering my texts and phone calls I feel like your only patient and I know that's not true."
