FORT SMITH – Justin Voris, M.D., a native of El Dorado, will be joining SouthPointe Family Practice, a Sparks Health System clinic, at 3808 S. Gray St., near Southside High School in Fort Smith in August. As a primary care physician, Voris will help manage and maintain the health of his patients and their loved ones. He will accept patients of all ages.
“Family medicine is all encompassing. It allows me to see babies all the way to geriatrics,” said Voris. “I love what I do, and it’s a wonderful opportunity to provide medical care to the whole family.”
Voris will offer a full range of services in his medical practice with an emphasis on outpatient clinical care, minor surgical procedures including permanent sterilization for men and women and other women’s health services including prenatal and obstetric care.
Voris will be accepting new patients of all ages.
Research shows patients who regularly see a primary care physician or a family doctor have better management of chronic diseases and lower overall healthcare costs. For example, simple testing during a visit with your primary care physician can reveal health problems, such as high blood pressure, that may go unnoticed and lead to more serious issues later in life, according to a news release from Sparks Health System.
Voris is a graduate of the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences and completed his residency at UAMS West Family Medicine.
Originally from El Dorado and a Fort Smith resident since 2007, Voris became familiar with the area more than 12 years ago when he met his wife, Elizabeth, a Fort Smith native, while both were students at Ouachita Baptist University. They have three children, Rebekah, Coleman and Abigail and attend New Life Church. He is the son of David and Lou Ann Voris and the grandson of Clifton and Nettia Hale, all of El Dorado.
In addition to his medical practice, Voris is involved in the community. He was appointed to the Fort Smith Airport Commission last fall.
The airport commission oversees the management and improvement of the Fort Smith Regional Airport and its related properties and facilities.
