Services
Well Visit/Sport Physicals
Our well visits and sports physicals assess developmental milestones, growth, and readiness for athletic participation. We provide guidance on age-appropriate health expectations and preventive care. These visits ensure children meet vaccination requirements and receive personalized health recommendations.
In-House Diagnostic Testing
We offer immediate results for point-of-care tests like bilirubin and CBC through our CLIA Waived lab. Complex tests are sent to reference labs, ensuring accurate diagnostics. This streamlines treatment plans and reduces wait times for critical health assessments.
Behavioral Health Services
Our in-house counselor provides collaborative care for ADHD, anxiety, and depression. Therapy sessions focus on child-specific needs, integrating feedback from parents and teachers. This approach ensures comprehensive mental health support within the pediatric care setting.
Telehealth Visits
Telehealth appointments address minor illnesses or mental health concerns via secure virtual consultations. This service offers convenient access to care for established patients. Providers evaluate symptoms and recommend treatments without requiring an in-office visit.
After-hours Triage Advice
Our partnership with UNC Chapel Hill provides 24/7 clinical advice for urgent medical issues. Trained RNs offer guidance based on AAP protocols. Parents receive immediate support for after-hours health concerns requiring prompt attention.

Always excellent and caring. My child went here from birth to 18 years of age. No complaints! I completely trust the staff and the care provided here!

Pandemic fatigue is real and everyone is tired of Covid, but the inhumanity and lack of basic human kindness in this practice towards children, specifically Dr. Tomkins, is appalling. If you are incapable of treating and communicating with respect toward children, maybe don't be a pediatrician? Dr. Tomkins neglected to physically examine my child (or speak to them; or run a viral panel) and because of his apathy and neglect, my entire household has strep. Do better. Our children need advocates, and this practice certainly isn't the place for it.

If I could put zero stars I would. My son was seen by Dr. Tomkins and I've never been so disrespected by a doctor in my life. Doesn't care at all about his patients. So sickened by how we were treated especially durning covid and having a sick toddler. When a doctor laughs at me for asking a question and says they "don't know" what to do is absolutely disturbing.

I could not be happier with the staff and doctors at Asheville Pediatrics. So friendly, kind, and patient which helps with little ones ha. They are dedicated to your child's development and well being. The town was out of power one time but they still saw my new born baby for a possible infection by flashlight. I recommend them to everyone I know with little ones :

I was so disappointed with our recent visit to Dr. Page that I seriously considered leaving mid-appointment. I only give the practice 2 stars because the nurse was very nice. Dr. Page was not. The doctor failed to introduce herself though it was our first visit. She told me that my 18 month old daughter would never stop breastfeeding if I continued to comfort her with it. She said we should discipline her with time-outs (an 18 month old?!).
She told us children (including those less than 2 years old) are manipulative. The way she physically handled my daughter with an almost aggressive manner just about made me sick. She never even tried to talk to her or comfort her in any way. It really made me wonder why this woman is a pediatrician. We will never return.

We LOVE Dr. Martin SO MUCH. We're so lucky to have found her! We've seen many other doctors at Asheville Pediatrics and have found all of them to be kind and knowledgeable. Our 3 year old actually enjoys going into the doctor (that's not an easy feat!)

Love this practice! I have raised my child from an infant to adulthood and had the greatest care and attention to my child's needs. Always a friendly voice on the phone and friendly faces in the office. They treat me like family! Looking forward to my grandchildren being cared for there though their childhood also!
