Personal Statement
I started One Health Direct Primary Care in Asheville because I wanted to give patients more time with their doctor and an easier way to reach me between visits. As a family physician, I value getting to know my patients over time, understanding what matters to them, and making a plan together that fits their everyday lives. I’m especially drawn to women’s midlife health and the opportunity to address menopause symptoms alongside long-term heart and metabolic health.
