Dr. Harris
OrthoVirginia
Medical Honoree

Dr. Barton Harris is an Orthopedic Surgeon with OrthoVirginia that specializes in joint replacement, especially for hips and knees.  A Virginia native from Lexington, Dr. Harris was an Echols Scholar as an undergraduate at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. He earned his medical degree from the Medical College of Virginia in Richmond, Virginia and returned to UVA for his orthopedic surgery training program. He then completed an adult reconstruction fellowship for hip & knee replacement in Richmond before starting practice. 

Dr. Harris enjoys being able to get patients back to doing the things they love while not letting arthritis slow them down.  This is incredibly rewarding for him.  Replacing a worn-out hip or knee to restore normal function lets folks stay healthy and active! Arthritis, which can cover over 100 different types of joint diseases, does not have to be the end of you staying active.  Dr. Harris understands how impactful arthritis can be in a person’s life and is happy to provide the appropriate care to prevent it from hindering the activities you love!

Dr. Harris and his wife, Kristen, are the proud parents of Pierson and Savannah and live near the historic Fan District in Richmond
