I recently completed two visits with Dr. Harrison and spent virtually $1,000, which included a post-NUCCA follow-up appointment meant to discuss how I was feeling and to check in on my neurological symptoms, which had worsened and become quite concerning. Unfortunately, the experience turned unexpectedly negative. At the end of my first appointment, as I was leaving, I made an obviously lighthearted joke about payment. When Dr. Harrison mentioned he had my card on file, I said—clearly joking—“Alright then, go ahead and rob me whenever you can,” meaning he could run my card for the visit. There was absolutely no one else in sight—just him and me in the main lobby as I was heading out—so I had no reason to think the comment could be taken the wrong way. However, at my next appointment, he became unexpectedly hostile and said he didn’t appreciate the joke, claiming there were patients in nearby rooms who might have overheard. He then called me a “red flag” to my face, told me I could never see him again, and ended the relationship entirely. I was shocked and disappointed. A more professional and reasonable response would have been something like, “Hey, I just wanted to mention I didn’t appreciate that joke—please be mindful because others might take it the wrong way.” Instead, I was insulted, dismissed, and effectively banned after spending nearly $1,000 on care, all while I was in poor physical shape and seeking help for worsening neurological symptoms. His reaction felt irrational, unprofessional, and completely uncalled-for. I left feeling disrespected, humiliated, and ripped off—especially considering that the second visit was meant to address serious health concerns, not to be berated for an innocent joke.

I had very complicated cases but so far super sharp knife slicing kind of pain in my spine has been fixed, neck is now rotating without pain, pain in my brain has been drastically reduced. I often say "Is this real?" Yes, it's real and I am so grateful and feel lucky. Thank you Dr. Harrison. You are the best!👍

I have been injured in a personal injury accident that left me with a concussion and tremendous physical and emotional pain in my head, neck, and back. I had gone to multiple emergency rooms and after having seen or talked to multiple doctors and getting advice on how to treat this, I was so lucky to be recommended to go see Dr. Harrison at The Balanced Atlas! I was so relieved to find and get treated at Dr. Harrison’s office, especially at the time when no one else was able to do anything about my pain! Dr. Harrison is a rare gem of a doctor - he is very attentive, kind, and genuinely caring for his patients' recovery and well being. I have never felt so seen, heard, and attended to in a doctor's office ever before! My injury was tricky and Dr. Harrison guided me through healing and recovery and explained that it's normal for trauma to be expressing itself on many different levels physically and emotionally. Receiving Dr. Harrison's consideration of the specifics of my situation, and thorough explanation of what I was dealing with really had the most profound impact on my recovery! It is so rare to feel cared for, listened to and empathized with, understood AND being provided remarkable treatment all at the same time in a doctor's office, and you will definitely find it here. Dr. Harrison is empathetic, listens and explains about the pain I am experiencing, is very attentive and detail oriented, always willing to help, responsive, and courteous to remind of each appointment and provide advice where required. The chiropractic treatment itself is non-invasive, very gentle, and super effective - I felt a difference and relief with each appointment. The required tests and x-rays are in-house, and Dr. Harrison is simply super skilled at his work and loves what he is doing, as it's apparent in how he treats his patients and truly invests in their recovery. Wellbeing is priceless and getting it back even more so! If you are injured or looking for preventative holistic care, you deserve the kind of care that Dr. Harrison provides and I can say with complete confidence that you would be in the best hands at The Balanced Atlas! I never knew that chiropractic work could be so life changing, effective, and healing until I came to The Balanced Atlas and I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Harrison for this work! Thank you so so much! P.S. I would also like to add, that every time my symptoms got worse or the pain of the injury became unexplainable or escalated, Dr. Harrison was always there to actually help resolve the situation and help the pain go down. No other doctor actually helped bring the pain down or was responsive and there when I actually needed it, and in fact even when my symptoms got so bad that I had to go to emergency room again or urgent care, it was Dr. Harrison who knew what to do, explained what was going on, suggested plan of action, and the chiropractic treatments helped relieve and resolve the situations. It's a holistic approach to health and healing that takes into consideration many tricky factors that other approaches may miss and I am beyond grateful and can't recommend The Balanced Atlas enough!

Dr. Harrison is a life changer! I had severe vertigo and he restored proper alignment to my body which has alleviated the vertigo, as well as other issues I did not even know about. The treatment is very gentle and not at all painful. You can tell he cares about his patients and I am thankful to have found The Balanced Atlas.

Dr. Harrison is the best. Came in with some pretty severe alignment issues and vertigo and he’s got me back feeling like myself. He’s transparent, to the point and incredibly thoughtful. Highly recommended.
