Recent Enhancement

“We now use the Erlanger hospitalist program (physicians who treat only hospitalized patients) to minimize our time away from the office for hospital rounds. That helps us provide quality and timely service to our patients at the office while ensuring our patients receive the highest level of care while hospitalized.”

– John D. “Chip” Harris, Jr., M.D.

Practice Philosophy

“Very simply, we treat patients as we’d like to be treated when we’re the patients, and that includes seeing—really seeing—the entire person, not just the illness.”

– Christopher G. Haddock, M.D.
