Christopher Harris, PA-C

Christopher Harris is a board-certified physician assistant with clinical interests in sports medicine and orthopaedic trauma. He retired from the Army out of Fort Bragg and the Army Special Operations Command in April 2020 where he practiced in family medicine, trauma medicine, and sports medicine, with a strong emphasis in the orthopaedic/sports medicine disciplines. Chris graduated from the United States Military Academy in 1997 and served 11 years as an Infantry Officer where he spent almost seven of those years in command before attending the military’s Interservice Physician Assistant Program (IPAP). Upon graduation and certification as a PA, Chris served an additional 11 years as an Army PA in several conventional and special operations units at the highest levels. Throughout his career, he lived abroad for five years in Korea and Germany, and deployed six times, spending four years in the combat zones of Afghanistan, Iraq, Kurdistan and Syria. He brings this unique experience and perspective to his patient care, where the patients’ welfare, comfort and progress are priorities with a deep understanding of people from many different backgrounds, cultures and traditions.

Harris cares for his patients from the perspective of being a patient himself. Harris understands the care, attention and education he expected as a patient, and now works to meet those same expectations for his patients. He feels that successful patient care requires great patient education. Outside of work, he enjoys spending time with his family, traveling, hiking, camping and watching his sons play hockey.
