Meikel Major

Dr. Meikel Major is a board‑certified family medicine physician who co‑founded MBody Healthcare, a Direct Primary Care (DPC) practice in West Knoxville. The practice’s model eliminates insurance middlemen, offering patients 24/7 direct access, same‑day appointments, and extended visit times so care can be personalized and proactive. Dr. Major believes that a strong doctor‑patient relationship, built on trust and uninterrupted communication, leads to better health outcomes and lower overall costs.

Before establishing MBody, Dr. Major served 17 years in the United States Air Force, including assignments at the Pentagon and as a provider for service members. He earned his medical degree from the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences and completed a family medicine residency with the Air Force at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida. His military experience shaped his commitment to comprehensive, patient‑centered care, which he now delivers through the DPC model.
