Direct Primary Care

Great Health and Wellness

We genuinely care about your health and well-being at Great Health and Wellness. As a virtual direct primary care clinic, we focus on supporting your metabolic health, working with you to reduce or eliminate the need for prescription medications while promoting a longer, healthier life.


We believe in providing a personalized experience, so our clinic is intentionally small, ensuring you always have access to Dr. Harris. 


Central to our approach is lifestyle medicine, encompassing exercise, nutrition, stress management, sleep, and a positive mindset. We understand that each person's journey is unique. We also incorporate targeted supplementation, peptides, and prescription medications when appropriate, all tailored to help you achieve your specific health and longevity goals.


We monitor essential health metrics such as blood pressure, heart rate, grip strength, waist circumference, and more to support you. This holistic and attentive approach allows us to customize your treatment plan and focus on preventing health issues before they arise. We're here to walk alongside you on your path to better health.


You can learn more about our practice philosophy by watching this YouTube video.


We are able to see patients in the following states: AL, CA, CO, HI, IL, FL, KY, MI, OH, PA, TN, TX, VA, WA, and WI.
