Waited over an hour to see doctor. My appointment was 9:45 AM. He didn't have an emergency so I can only conclude they have lousy scheduling. Unacceptable

Dr. Weaver is brilliant. He helped me eliminate a serious side effect on a medication. He diagnosed a painful condition and treated it. He's solid. Highly recommended.

I have been seeing Cathy Haggart for years and she is the best primary care I have ever had. She is very detail oriented, spends time with you, cares vastly about your well being (internal health and mental health), and is just overall a beautiful person. I would recommend her to anyone needing primary care. This office is ran very well. Employees are very kind and I am in and out of the office very quickly. Anytime I have needed an appointment I have been able to get in the same week. Thank you for all of the hard work your office provides.

I had the pleasure today to visit Carolina Internal Medicine. I moved from Miami, Florida to Asheville four months ago and needed a new primary physician and chose Nathan J. Hruska M.D. who was accepting new patients. He spent over an hour going over my medical history and ordering new labs, etc. He was very attentive and genuinely was interested in my concerns. I highly recommend Dr. Hruska and Carolina Internal Medicine.
