Dr. Charles Horton practices in the Mercy Clinic in Berryville, Arkansas. He graduated from Hendrix College with a Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry in 1979. After completing medical school at UAMS in 1984, he completed his residency in family medicine at the UAMS Regional Campus in Pine Bluff in 1987.
Dr. Horton chose family medicine for the variety it offers, as it enables him to see patients of all ages and with a wide array of health needs. He enjoys practicing medicine in a rural community as it has given him the opportunity to care for patients in many different settings during over 30 years of rural practice. He has provided outpatient longitudinal care, but inpatient critical care, emergency medical care, convenient walk-in outpatient care, nursing home care, at-home visits and virtual visits via computer. He has included obstetrical care in his past practice and has delivered many babies during his career.
Dr. Horton particularly enjoys the management of infectious disease, diabetes care, and sleep medicine. When not working, he enjoys old maps, history, and short-wave radio.
