Dr. Mike Garrison
BOARD-CERTIFIED FAMILY MEDICINE PHYSICIAN
“My focus is on prevention and optimizing health. I believe medicine works best when we take the time to build long-term relationships rather than rush through five-minute visits.”
Location: Tampa, FL
Dr. Mike Garrison is a board-certified family medicine physician with a passion for preventive and lifestyle medicine. He earned his doctorate in osteopathic medicine at Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine in Athens, Ohio, and completed his family medicine residency at MUSC Health at Tidelands in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
Growing up, Dr. Garrison was active in sports and focused on health and fitness. During his time playing football in high school and college, he experienced injuries that required medical attention. Experiencing a high level of care first-hand prompted Dr. Garrison to apply to medical school, so he in turn could help others. Dr. Garrison’s approach is prevention first, and he strives to build long-term relationships with his patients, guiding them to live to their fullest potential.
Originally from Ohio, Dr. Garrison looked for warmer weather and relocated to Tampa after living in South Carolina during his residency. He enjoys spending time outdoors, especially at the beach, and recently took up wakeboarding and surfing.
