Dr. George Harris recently joined Partners in Primary Care bringing over 35 years of experience as a board-certified physician in Family Medicine and Sports Medicine. He attended the University of Mississippi School of Medicine and completed his residency at St. Vincent’s Medical Center.

Dr. Harris decided to enter the healthcare profession because he wanted to care for the individuals in his community and help them improve their health and wellness by providing them with quality primary care. What Dr. Harris finds most fulfilling about his day-to-day at the office is taking the time to listen to his patient’s needs and concerns and identifying the potential causes for their symptoms and then implementing an effective treatment plan. That’s why he emphasizes the importance of communicating with his patients, as well as developing a relationship based on mutual honesty and respect. After 35 years of working as a physician, he still enjoys the constant learning and challenges that each day brings. He chose to join Partners’ because of their multidisciplinary team and integral approach which he believes work hand-in-hand to address all the factors involved in the patient’s health journey.
