Meet Walter S. Morris III MD FACP
I believe that the key to maintaining health is to have an effective partnership between the doctor and patient. To be successful, this relationship requires more time for a understanding of each individual patient and an emphasis on wellness and prevention when necessary. Working with each patient and taking the time during our annual wellness visit, I will help develop a personalized lifestyle plan that helps meet their intended health goals.
In 1995, I returned to my home in the Sandhills of North Carolina to serve the people that I grew up with. I have participated in many facets of their care, attending to them in the hospital and office and even making visits for care in their home. My MDVIP-affiliated practice offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices. I have interests in cardiovascular disease prevention and management of diabetes, obesity, osteoporosis and thyroid diseases.
I have an active affiliation with FirstHealth-Moore Regional Hospital and I believe it is very important to make hospital visits to provide continuity of care for my patients. In 2004, I was voted by the staff to be their first “Physician of the Year”, as it reflected my passion for excellence in working with others for the betterment of my patients. My primary practice is focused on wellness, prevention of illness and personalized care.
I am looking forward to our partnership for a healthier YOU!

Frequently Asked Questions
Doctors who operate in the MDVIP models typically see far fewer patients than traditional primary care doctors. That gives them more time to develop deeper doctor-patient relationships that can lead to better outcomes. They can also offer conveniences that most primary care doctors can’t, including same- and next-day appointments. They’re available after hours for urgent matters. And they have time to focus on prevention. That focus begins with the MDVIP Wellness Program, which patients pay for with their annual membership fee.
Most MDVIP-affiliated primary care practices accept insurance (your physician can tell you whether they accept your specific insurance plan). Your annual fee pays for preventive care medical services that insurance usually doesn’t cover (e.g., advanced diagnostic testing and screenings). Your MDVIP-affiliated physician will continue to bill your insurance and charge copays, co-insurances and deductibles as he or she currently does for other medical services like sick visits.
MDVIP makes wellness and prevention easier by providing your physician with innovative tools and technology. MDVIP supports your physician’s practice and seeks to eliminate barriers to a positive healthcare experience. Your doctor will determine whether and how to incorporate these tools at his/her discretion.

Testimonials from patients of Walter S. Morris III MD FACP
Dr Morris has surrounded himself with a wonderful staff !
from Richard in NC • January 30, 2024
One of the things that he does that all his patients can take advantage of is his drive through flu shot day which takes no time at all and you even get lunch !
Dr. Morris keeps me “outside”!
from Patricia in NC • January 27, 2024
I have osteoporosis, which I learned of 3 years ago when 3 vertebrae collapsed when jogging. After receiving treatment through kyphoplasty I was concerned about continuing my very active life. Dr. Morris helped me regain my confidence by coaching me to be careful AND to get right back out there. In September I hiked the Tour de Mont Blanc without a hitch.
It might be Pategonia next!

from Pender in NC • January 20, 2024
At lunchtime on a Sunday, I had a troubling spike in my blood pressure. I texted Dr. Morris to see if it was convenient to talk and he responded immediately that he would call shortly. I had forgotten that his office had notified patients that he was traveling so when I texted him he was just stepping off an airplane after an all night flight and was then driving to meet his family at the coast Read more...

from Joan in NC • January 20, 2024
On December 19 I came down with a heavy cough and felt terrible. Needless to say, my Christmas and New Year plans had to be cancelled. Dr. Walter Morris's office closed for the holidays on December 20 in order to give the staff a needed vacation. How fortunate I was to have Dr. Morris communicate with me and order prescriptions throughout the entire holiday. He also saw me in the office on Read more...
