About
Dr. Meikel Major earned his Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Portland in Oregon before pursuing his medical degree at the Uniformed Services University in Maryland. He completed his Family Medicine residency with the US Air Force at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida. The American Board of Family Medicine granted him board certification in family medicine.
Dr. Major served 17 years as an Air Force physician, working at the Pentagon and at installations stretching from southern Mississippi to Idaho. He cared for servicemen across a wide range of chronic and acute conditions, and he has delivered babies during his career. After separating from the military, he ran a civilian primary care practice before transitioning to hospitalist medicine, where he spent years caring for critically ill and hospitalized patients. He holds a deep interest in reducing specialist referrals and keeping patients out of the hospital. He approaches medication lists thoughtfully, auditing them for cost efficiency. Outside the clinic, he enjoys woodworking, cooking, crafts, and motorcycle riding. As a veteran himself, he also personally received ketamine treatment and brings that firsthand perspective to his work with patients managing depression, PTSD, and treatment-resistant mood disorders.
