Barton B. Thrasher, MD

Foremost to a successful primary care practice is a strong doctor-patient relationship. This vital relationship, I believe, is a major key to wellness. Each of my family medicine patients is different, and I try to build trust and communication that are equally essential for health and healing. I believe strongly that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. In that light, I am firmly convinced that nutrition and exercise are the cornerstones for most people to reach their goals. I will work diligently with my patients to create a unique healthcare plan to help them achieve their health, fitness and even life goals.

Since 2006, I have been practicing family medicine in Fayette County in Oakland, Tennessee and in Shelby County in Collierville, TN. My approach is to offer personalized healthcare for every patient. I also offer conveniences, like same- or next-day appointments, which may be found in concierge medicine practices. With a deep interest in nutrition, I feel I am well-positioned to assist diverse patients with their dietary needs. I have a strong interest in cardiovascular health, diabetes, weight loss and preventive medicine. Additionally, as a former collegiate athlete, I also have a great interest in sports medicine/orthopedics and sports-related nutrition. 

As an MDVIP-affiliated primary care physician, we can work as a team and formulate a wellness plan tailored to your personal needs. I utilize specialists and hospitalists in the community with whom I trust my patients' care.  I am excited to practice medicine in this more personalized model of healthcare.
