While serving in the military, Dr. Harris discovered a need for podiatry services for elderly and disabled patients. He began offering care on weekends while in the Navy. Upon separation from the Navy, he established a podiatry practice in Jacksonville, Florida. In response to patient demand, Dr. Harris opened a physical clinic location in 2019 in the Riverside neighborhood of Jacksonville. The clinic allows patients to be seen on short notice, usually the same day, and is fully equipped with digital x-ray, ultrasound, and minor surgical capabilities. Dr. Harris has hospital privileges at St. Vincent’s Medical Center and can provide advanced care such as hospitalization and surgery. He is certified by the American Board and Foot and Ankle Surgery, which is the most rigorous podiatry certification to obtain. 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 the office and in the hospital as needed.
