We’re excited to announce that Dr. Joseph Varner, has joined Midway Medical Center.

Dr. Varner grew up in Lexington, NC. After graduating High School, he went on to receive his Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science from Appalachian State University, with double minor degrees in Biology and Psychology. He attended medical school at Campbell University School of Osteopathic Medicine in Buies Creek, NC and recently completed his Family Medicine Internship and Residency at Bon Secours St. Francis Medical Center in Midlothian, VA.

During his time at Appalachian State University, he gained hands on experience while volunteering in Peru, South Africa, and Zambia.

Dr. Varner says, “When I initially decided I wanted to go into medicine, my priority was to develop a lasting relationship with my patients, be a part of the community, and make a lasting impact for the betterment of entire families that I would have the privilege to care for.”

Dr. Varner has special interests in weight management and nutrition, diabetes, hypertension and chronic kidney disease. In his spare time, he enjoys hiking, camping, gardening, playing music, wood working and spending time with his sweet Golden Doodle, Henry.
