While serving in the military, Dr. Harris discovered a need for podiatry services to be provided to elderly and disabled patients who were unable to travel to their doctor’s offices. He started seeing patients at their homes on the weekends while in the Navy. Upon separation from the Navy, he established a house call practice in Jacksonville, Florida. Dr. Harris enjoys working with homebound patients, but received requests for office services as well. In 2019 Dr. Harris opened a physical clinic location in the Riverside neighborhood of Jacksonville. While house calls are still provided, the clinic allows for patients to be seen on short notice, usually the same day. The clinic is fully equipped with digital x-ray, ultrasound, and has minor surgical capabilities. Dr. Harris has hospital privileges at St. Vincent’s Medical Center and can provide advanced care such as hospitalization and surgery. Dr. Harris is certified by the American Board and Foot and Ankle Surgery, which is the most rigorous podiatry certification to obtain. Whether care is provided in the home or the office, the practice philosophy is to provide personal, attentive care at a reasonable cost, without unnecessary expense.
Dr. Harris is originally from Birmingham, Alabama. He received his podiatry degree from Midwestern University, where he finished in the top half of his class. He completed residency training at St. Vincent’s Medical Center in Jacksonville, Florida. Upon completion of his residency, he served as an active duty podiatrist in the US Navy at Naval Hospital Camp LeJeune. While serving he received the Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal and became board certified by the American Board of Foot and Ankle Surgery. After an honorable discharge from the Navy, in 2017, Dr. Harris established a private practice in Jacksonville, Florida. He sees patients in their homes, in the office, and in the hospital if needed.
He maintains active privileges at St. Vincent’s Medical Center. Dr. Harris has been married to his wife Michele for 20 years and attends church at Evangel Temple. Dr. Harris enjoys eating good food, running, watersports, and flying radio-controlled model aircraft.
