Dr. James W. Harris, PT, DPT

   Dr. James was born in Ohio and moved to northern Utah after graduating high school to attend Utah State University. After serving a full-time mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Albuquerque, New Mexico, he completed his undergraduate degree, and returned to New Mexico to work as a district manager for Blake's Lotaburger. Ultimately, he decided to change career paths and become a physical therapist. 

   After completing the necessary prerequisite coursework, he was accepted to the physical therapy program at the University of Missouri, located in Columbia Missouri. Following graduation in May of 2022, James and his family moved to Farmington New Mexico. 

   Prior to joining the La Mesa Wellness team, Dr. James worked in a variety of settings, including inpatient, outpatient, and home health and believes that those experiences have been invaluable in helping him grow as a clinician.
