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.
