We Do Health Care Differently.

The Integrative Primary Care Practice Designed For You

The Health Care Status Quo Isn’t Working for Most Patients – We’re Different

Integrative Family Medicine is an Asheville-based integrative primary care practice with offices in The River Arts District and Arden. We offer comprehensive primary care through a Direct Primary Care (DPC) model. We provide the same scope of care you’d expect from a traditional primary care clinic — with more time, easier access, and fewer barriers.

What is Integrative Medicine?

Our integrative approach is grounded in evidence-based Western medicine, with a strong emphasis on prevention, early intervention, and practical lifestyle support. We focus on keeping you well — not just treating illness when it shows up. At the heart of our practice is a strong, long-term relationship between patient and provider. We take the time to listen, understand your full health picture, and partner with you in making thoughtful, informed decisions about your care.

What About Insurance?

By removing insurance from the exam room, our direct-payment model restores what primary care was always meant to be: personal, transparent, and centered on your health rather than paperwork. The result is care that feels more human, more responsive, and better aligned with real life.

What our Patients are Saying…

I am thankful for you all. Liz, Tom, Logan, Brandi, Krystal, Brian, Katey, and all the rest I haven’t met or didn’t know your name…This is by far the safest place I have to come to for support.

I appreciated having so much time to tell my story and have Jen listen attentively, to learn more about me so we can find effective ways to address my issues.

I’m so floored with all the staff here…! However my experience with Katey was beyond any I would get anywhere else. We had to discuss some pretty heavy topics and try to figure out some very intimidating issues, and I’m not sure I have ever felt so heard by a doctor.

As always, Dr. Krisel is an excellent listener, explains conditions in a clear and understandable manner, and provides solutions adapted to each patient.

LOVE this group .. everyone is so friendly and concerned and organized. Dr. Brian positively exudes care and concern and an optimistic holistic approach. I believe this may be exactly what I have been looking for in health care.

Dr. Cox is knowledgeable, compassionate, and nonjudgmental. Her style of practice removes the typical doctor-patient power hierarchy so that the focus is entirely upon her patients and advancing their health goals together. Highly recommend!

Tom was very grounded, present and thorough during our time together. I felt like he listened to everything I expressed and painted a clear picture of how we will go about tackling my concerns.

The Principles of Integrative Family Medicine

 

1 The patient and our care team are partners in the healing and prevention process.

2 Our goal is to help our patients succeed in preventing, treating, and reversing disease. We partner with each patient to help them live their best lives and take charge of their health. We recommend both evidence-based western medicine and natural options, neither rejecting nor accepting either conclusively.

3 When prescribing care, we consider all factors that determine patients’ overall health.

4 All members of our care team are committed to excellence, lifelong learning, and self-development, in the pursuit of caring for our patients, our community, and our world.

Complete Primary Care for All Stages of Life

 


We provide the same quality care for all ages. Patients receive $0 medical visits, and children under 18 get discounted rates after two full-paying family members enroll.

 

Community and Member Classes

We believe that community and individual health are intertwined. We provide free community classes on diverse health interests and also provide group health challenges for our members.
