Landon Harrison, DO

Dr. Harrison failed to diagnose intrauterine growth restriction with my daughter - said that because she was in the 14th percentile for growth (a drop from the 58th percentile previously), my daughter was fine and warranted no further testing since anything above the 10th was "okay" (even though I had had an NST due to decreased fetal movement just the week before). Several days after Dr. Harrison told me that my baby was "fine," she died. She was stillborn at 38 weeks. Dr. Harrison, on the absolute worst day of our lives, lied and told my husband and me, with our daughter lying in a "Cuddle Cot" to keep her body cold right next to us in the room, that since there were no other apparent issues, my daughter's death was "just a fluke" - "probably just a cord accident." She later lied again, telling us it was not a big deal for her weight to have decreased 44 percentile. I have since read THREE different research studies that have shown that ANY decrease in growth velocity poses the… increased risk for growth restriction and/or stillbirth. We were discouraged from having an autopsy done as she said this was "rarely" helpful in determining a cause of death. It was later determined and confirmed by more than one (more experienced) doctor that my daughter was, in fact, growth restricted, likely due to her very small placenta. But by all means, if you are looking for a doctor who is "kind," listens to your concerns, and answers all of your questions, Dr. Harrison is your gal. I just hope you are researched and educated enough to be able to ask the right questions, because I apparently was not.
