About the Practice

A Doctor Who Listens, Not Just Treats

Dr. Johnson Farris T Jr MD brings years of medical experience and a deeply personal approach to primary care in Athens, Georgia. He believes that effective healthcare starts with understanding the whole person — not just the symptoms.

At our practice on Oglethorpe Avenue, you will find a environment built on trust and continuity. Dr. Farris takes the time to get to know his patients, their families, and their health histories so that every visit feels like a partnership rather than a transaction.

Whether you are managing a chronic condition, need preventive screening, or simply want a reliable physician you can count on for years to come, this is a practice that grows with you.
