Overview

I graduated as Physician Assistant from Barry University in Miami, but I was lucky to do my training in one of the most beautiful places in the United States, the US Virgin Islands. After finishing my training in the USVI, I gained experience working for M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas. Initially, I started my career working in Palliative Care Medicine, which gave me a strong foundation for how to manage the various symptoms experienced by cancer patients. Then, I transitioned to the Melanoma Medical Oncology department where I learned how to treat and manage patients undergoing immunotherapy and chemotherapy for their metastatic disease. After many years away from my hometown of Greensboro, I felt like it was time to move back to greener lands with my pup to be closer to family. With my oncology experience, I am hoping to bring patients comfort and compassionate care while they are undergoing treatment for their metastatic genitourinary cancer.

I specialize in the care of patients with urologic cancers – mainly prostate cancer, kidney cancer, bladder cancer and testicular cancer. A cancer diagnosis is one of the scariest things that can happen to someone. For many of our patients, they don’t necessarily feel different or look different, but they are scared to death. The most important thing you can get from Duke is real understanding of your particular case and what your options are. Knowledge is so reassuring and empowering for patients, especially those recently diagnosed with cancer. When you’re first diagnosed, you have to put your trust in a care team, and that’s hard to do if you don’t already know them. As the largest cancer center in North Carolina, Duke has great reputation and experience, which helps many patients chose Duke for their care. But we grow and develop our trust with patients because of who we are as people and how much expertise and care we bring to each case. Dr. George is rated as an Elite provider by MediFind in the treatment of Wilms Tumor. His top areas of expertise are Prostate Cancer, Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC), Familial Prostate Cancer, Nephrectomy, and Orchiectomy.

I specialize in treating people with genitourinary (GU) cancers, such as bladder, prostate, testicular and kidney cancer. I don’t treat other types of cancer across the breadth of tumors like some oncologists in the community may, such as blood cancer, breast cancer or lung cancer. My focus has allowed me to gain deep expertise in GU cancers and to stay abreast of the newest treatment advances, clinical research and so on for those specific GU cancers. As a medical oncologist, I meet patients at one of the scariest moments of their lives. I try to help educate them to make a decision about their disease and its process, and what their treatment options may be, so we can come to a shared decision about what might be the best option. The teaching aspect really strikes home for me. Both of my parents are teachers. The root word for “doctor” in Latin means “to teach.” So that is something I’m both naturally called to do and enjoy doing. Dr. Harrison is rated as a Distinguished provider by MediFind in the treatment of Wilms Tumor. His top areas of expertise are Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC), Prostate Cancer, Familial Prostate Cancer, Clear Cell Sarcoma, and Prostatectomy.
