Primary Care Physician
Independently owned and operated. Dr. Starr is board certified in Internal Medicine. We feel this continuum of care is essential.
He sees patients over the age of 17, and has experience with endocrine disorders. He is a native of Orange County, California, and a Veteran of the United States Air Force. His undergraduate education was at the University of California, Irvine. He attended medical school at the University of North Dakota in Grand Forks, and completed his Internal Medicine residency through the University of North Dakota, in Fargo, ND in 2009. He worked for the Indian Health Service for two years at the Alaska Native Medical Center in Anchorage, Alaska, and subsequently worked in private practice in Bismarck, North Dakota. Dr. Starr enjoys spending his free time with his wife and children, as much as possible. He enjoys learning to speak Spanish, running and remaining active, as well as winding down playing guitar and bass. At Starr Internal Medicine, we offer primary care for acute and chronic disease, to include management of injuries, minor sprains, lacerations. We are not endocrinologists, but we have an interest in endocrinology, and have experience caring for patients with endocrine disorders. We see patients 17 years and older, but case-by-case exceptions can be addressed. Besides the clinic, we follow our patients in the inpatient setting at Wuestoff Medical Center, Melbourne.

Exciting news for some of you. Dr. Starr will be trialing a new telehealth program. We will roll out televisits starting on Fridays. Dr Starr will still be in the office for in-person visits. We are offering this to make it easier for some patients to be seen, or to be seen when they may not be in town. Scheduling can be done through the Athena portal, or by calling in. Obviously, we will need a means of reaching you- email or text. The service will not be available if you do not have an electronic means of communication. We are going to try to extend appointments to every day of the week, and potentially other providers. However, for now, it will be just Dr Starr, and chiefly on Fridays while we work out the bugs.

If anyone is looking to adopt please consider this sweet girl. We sponsored her adoption fee in honor of our sweet Ruby girl. Please help her find her next home. ❤️🐶
Adele spent the first years of her life learning how to be a protection dog and to guard her person.
When she lost her person, she found herself lost. Her purpose taken while navigating life as a shelter dog.
Adele has done excellent during her stay with us. She is an avid water child and a trip to the river is her favorite activity.
Adele does require a particular home… a person who understands a GSD with overconfidence with loyalty, but needs time to understand her new role is key.
“It is often the small steps, not the giant leaps, that bring about the most lasting change.”

We are not endocrinologists, but we have an interest in endocrinology, and have experience caring for patients with endocrine disorders. We see patients 17 years and older, but case-by-case exceptions can be addressed. We do not follow our patients in the inpatient setting at Melbourne Regional Medical Center (formerly Wuesthoff), instead one Internal Medicine colleague admits and follows our patients. He ensures our office receives updates on the health status of our hospitalized patients. Upon discharge a follow up visit in our clinic will be scheduled. We feel this continuum of care is essential.
