Student Review
"Dr. Beal really wants you to transition from being a student to doctor and helps push you to do so. She also wants to help students understand the managerial/ownership side of private practice and what it takes to own a private practice. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Dr. Harrison. He was always seeking my input when it came to diagnosis and treatment. He would also inquire to any questions I had about cases, as well as, reviewed old interesting cases with me."
