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.

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.
