About Byron F. Harper III, MD

To me, your health is your greatest treasure and possession, next to family and faith. Thehonor and privilege that comes with being both your personal physician and a partner in your health journey humbles me and stirs in me a passion to provide you with the ideal environment that promotes better health.

I utilize an approach that champions the patient-physician partnership. In a relaxed,
unhurried environment during your visits, we will take the necessary time to help make sure there is a mutual understanding between us so that you are knowledgeable about your health options and assured that I understand your concerns and needs.  This includes a personalized healthcare plan focused on helping you to reach your goals by tailoring wellness, prevention, treatment and primary care specifically to you and your needs! 

A graduate of Emory University School of Medicine, I am a second-generation internal
medicine physician, board certified by the American Board of Medicine. Growing up in
both Coweta County and Fayette County and having practiced for over 30 years in the South Atlanta region, I have deep roots and understanding in the culture and uniqueness of these communities and the families who live here. I currently practice in Peachtree City, Georgia, and I am affiliated with Piedmont Fayette Hospital. I also serve as the Medical Director for Southwest Christian Care, a non-profit hospice facility in South Fulton County, for over 25 years. My special interests and experience include,
cardiovascular health, diabetes, hypertension, preventive care and nutrition.

You can be assured that my staff and I will strive to go above and beyond to care for
you as a person, support you and work with you to help you achieve your personal health goals and enjoy a healthier life. My MDVIP-affiliated practice offers services (including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests) that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices. We look forward to making you feel like family.

Dr. Harper is an excellent MDVIP physician but this story is about his staff. I take a medication for type II diabetes and if I have to stop taking it I will probably have to go on insulin which is a step I definitely wish to avoid. For two months the manufacturer was unable to supply the medication to pharmacies. The RN at Dr. Harper's practice took action without even being asked to…

We brought Mom to Dr. Harper a few years ago after she expressed feelings of 'not feeling heard' by her former physician. Soon after seeing the kindest doctor ever (Dr. Harper), he dove just a little bit deeper into Mom's complaints... and found that she had cancer. Had Mom continued with her former physician, her diagnosis would certainly have been delayed and treatment may have…

I went to a regular doctor for years prior to Dr Harper and the MDVIP program. I was diagnosed with diabetes and was prescribed medications that made me feel sick every day. One of the medications was actually causing me a sever reaction that sent me to the ER several times, On my 6month return visits there seemed to be no solution except keep trying at a lower dose. After signing up with Dr…

This is the third year that we have been a patient of Dr. Byron Harper. He truly cares about us in all respects; health, personal and spiritual. It is comforting to know that we do not have to wait months to see him. He is there if we are not well. We don't have to go to a walk-in clinic. He spends time with us; we are not rushed out of the office. He listens to our concerns and allows…

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.
