Iredell Physician Network Welcomes Dr. Harlan Hicks to Iredell Internal Medicine

Iredell Physician Network is excited to welcome Harlan Hicks, MD, to Iredell Internal Medicine.

Hicks has over 25 years of experience in a variety of medical discourses and has lived and served in the local community since 2001. He completed his undergraduate degree at Tuskegee University in Alabama, his medical degree at the University of Virginia, and his internship and residency at Medical College of Pennsylvania where he served as chief resident in his final year. He is certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine. Hicks’ approach to patient care focuses on partnership.

“I chose internal medicine because it allows me to care for patients across a longer period of their life and develop a better relationship with them,” said Hicks. “I meet the patient where they are and, together, guide them where they need to go.”

Hicks helps his patients set goals for themselves while under his care.

“The first visit with me is a time for you to share who you are and your goals. Goals vary based on individual needs, but one common one is to be patient and consistent to achieve good health.”

An advocate for wellness, Hicks encourages his patients to take responsibility for their health.

“Never over-indulge. Being healthy should be viewed as a way to prolong life.”

Hicks chose Iredell Health System because of its willingness to facilitate collaborative healthcare.

Outside of medicine, Hicks enjoys exercising, riding bikes, riding motorcycles with his friends, and traveling to see family, friends, and new places. He organizes yearly outreach through his church and civic organizations for men’s health, breast cancer awareness, diabetes, and high blood pressure.

Hicks is accepting new patients. To schedule an appointment, contact Iredell Internal Medicine at 704-873-5658. For more information, visit iredellinternalmedicine.com.
