I loved working with Dr. Harrison!

Dr. Bill was the best Pediatrician, in my opinion, around! I can remember going to see him and never once crying about getting a shot etc. He was a good man and is missed dearly!

I never had Dr. Harrison as my doctor and never did get to really know him very well. I do know one thing, my son, Kevin Manly Young married his beautiful daughter Karen and I have her her speak of him many times. So, Dr. Harrison, you have a beautiful daughter and Kevin and her have three beautiful grandchildren, and my wife, Primilla and I are proud to be his grand children part of our life now. And his granddaughter Morgan is going to have for my wife and I a great granddaughter very...

DR. Harrison was very sweet. I was friends with his Son Blake from 5th-12th grade and he would always go out of his way for us to get where we wanted to go. Always made me feel welcome in t heir home and was a great person.

Doctor Bill was my doctor when I was a child living in Knoxville. I moved to another state when I was 10 and today I am 28. Something made me think of Dr Bill so I googled his name to see if he still practiced medicine. It saddens me deeply to know that he has passed away. He was clearly a very special human.

I HATE that I didn't know about this. I was just doing the paperwork for my daughter to start college and was looking up Dr. Harrison. He was my children's pediatrician. He was THE BEST in Knoxville. He was such a GREAT person. He always cared so very much for his patients and their families. He was a very special man with one of the best hearts in the world. Dr. Harrison, you WILL be missed VERY much. Thank you for all of the years of unmatched care for my family. We love you!!!!

Dr.Bill was the doctor for my four children. My oldest son will be 25 October 30th. My daughter just had her first baby and we were looking for Dr. Bill so he could be the baby's pediatrician when we learned about Dr. Bill's passing. We followed him from Farragut, to Knoxville. I joked with him several times and told him we were stalking him. When my son was little we went for a check up. Dr. Bill asked me how my day was going. It had been a rough day and I told him a little about a...

Dr. Bill had been seeing my son who is now 5 since he was 6 months old. He also took care of my brothers, and younger sister. He was an amazing pediatrician who truly cared about the kids. When no other doctor could figure out what was going on with my son, Dr. Bill did. I am deeply saddened by hearing of his passing and can only hope I will find another pediatrician and wonderful and as talented as Dr. Bill. The world lost a great man.

I just heard of Dr. Bill's passing and our whole family is terribly saddened. We found Dr. Bill when my oldest daughter was 2, and he was in Farragut. He diagnosed a problem, had her in surgery the next day and it saved her life. She is now a healthy, happy 16 year old straight A student. My 2 youngest, ages 6 & 7 have gotten to know Dr. Bill and we followed him from UT to Lenoir City. We last saw him in August for check-ups. He has taken care of all 3 of my children, and I can honestly say...
