Taking care of the entire family for over 50 years

Originating as Sutter Family Practice in 1971 in Chatsworth, Georgia, Dr. J. Michael Brown joined the practice in 2009 and assumed ownership in 2014, ushering in a new era of growth and innovation while honoring the practice’s strong foundation.

Today, under Dr. Brown’s leadership, the practice operates as Mountain View Primary Care. Serving Murray County and beyond, it continues to deliver personalized, high-quality healthcare — blending more than 50 years of tradition with modern medical excellence at the practice’s permanent home at 320 West Market Street.
