It is best to have a family doctor or general internist in charge of your overall care. We will be working with this primary care physician, and he or she will direct your overall health care. Your primary care physician will be kept informed of the results of exams, studies, and treatment plans.

In order to serve our patients more effectively, our doctors see patients only by appointment. If you have not been seen at this practice before, or if it has been more than three years since your last appointment, please obtain a referral from your primary care physician or other physician. If you have been seen at our office in the last three years, and are signed up for our patient portal, you may request an appointment by logging in to the portal and sending a request.You can also make an appointment by calling 828-258-9533 between 8:00 am and 5:00 pm Monday through Thursday, and 8:00 am until 12:00 pm on Friday.

This information is always valuable, and may save you and your family an additional trip. During your initial evaluation your previous medical records, x-rays, and laboratory results will be reviewed, and a history and physical exam pertinent to your problems will be done. Additional tests will be ordered if necessary to help with your diagnosis.
