Professional Bio
Dr. Christopher Highley has over 30 years of experience in primary care. Having worked on the front line of healthcare, Dr. Highley has developed a keen skill set at the point of care, treating patients of all ages with just about every conceivable problem. He is passionate about patient care and optimizing the experience for both the doctor and the patient.
Dr. Highley trained and served as a U.S. Army physician before settling in Northern Nevada in 2003. He built a thriving traditional family practice as a partner of an independent medical group in Carson City for 15 years. In September 2018, he transitioned to an insurance-free, highly personalized concierge Direct Primary Care (DPC) practice aptly named Preferred Family Medicine.
Since its inception, Preferred Family Medicine has grown steadily year over year and now occupies a modern facility poised for the future of DPC in Northern Nevada.
A forward thinker, Dr. Christopher Highley is always looking to push the establishment with innovative ideas/solutions, especially in health information technology. In 2014, he launched Cirrus Medical Network, Inc., a direct primary care telemedicine platform. He bootstrapped the development of an all-in-one cloud-based solution for independent physicians looking to build their own virtual practices. This project is continuing to evolve as the direct-to-consumer healthcare market is ever-changing.
