Primary Care That Actually Knows You

The best primary care in Asheville, for you, your family, and your business-without the hassle of insurance.

Integrative Family Medicine is a fantastic practice. I moved here from Austin, TX and searched for a practice that would treat me holistically. They take their time, learn about you as an individual, and build a treatment care plan for you. Highly recommend.
Response from the owner:Kathie, thank you for the wonderful review. We’re grateful you chose us after your move from Austin, and we’re so glad you’ve felt the holistic, individualized care and time we aim to provide. We truly appreciate your recommendation.
Finally a doctor and staff that treat you like a person and not just an appointment to get through so they can go to the next patient. Sherri is wonderful! She greets you with a smile and has such a warm personality. Dr Crowgey is also wonderful! He really listens and spends time explaining and making sure all your questions have been answered. I am so impressed with his thoroughness. I’m so glad they opened an office in Arden and that I found them. I highly recommend this practice.
Response from the owner:Christine, thank you so much for the kind words and recommendation. We’re glad Sherri’s warm welcome and Dr. Crowgey’s thorough, unhurried approach made you feel truly listened to and cared for. We’re grateful you found us in Arden and look forward to being here for you.

Response from the owner:Thanks so much for the 5-star rating, Ellen. We really appreciate you taking the time to support Integrative Family Medicine, DPC - River Arts District, and we’re grateful to be part of your care.
These people are for real! Every person, from the front desk to the medical assistants and phlebotomists to the providers are professional, kind, and attentive. I had to leave IFMA for awhile due to high insurance costs, but not my hubby and I are back and feel so grateful. Even if you are not interested in "lifestyle medicine," or if you are somewhere in the middle between "optimizing health" and "let me live my life and do what feels good," there is a provider there who will meet you where you are without judgement.
Response from the owner:Carolyn. Thank you for your kind words! We are thrilled you are enjoying your experience at Integrative Family Medicine. We loved, "between optimizing health" and "let me live my life and do what feels good". It gave us all a giggle. To your health!

Just got started here this month and so far everyone’s amazing. Jess, Krystal, the front desk, they are all a joy to speak to. I never look forward to the Dr as I feel most people generally don’t. However, I look forward to my next visit because they’ve seemed to create a great space to walk into and a wonderful first impression.
Response from the owner:Zoya, thank you so much for joining us this month and for the kind words. We’re really glad Jess, Krystal, and our front desk team have made you feel welcome and helped create a space you actually look forward to coming into. We appreciate you trusting Integrative Family Medicine, DPC - River Arts District with your care.

I'm a big fan of Integrative Family Medicine! Recently, I needed a consult quickly but my usual provider was not available. Instead I saw Dr. Crowgey. Although it was our first time meeting, he was compassionate, a good listener, and gave me a thorough list of recommendations to address my condition. I was grateful to have good care from yet another member of the IFM team!
Response from the owner:Thank you, Althea! We’re so glad Dr. Crowgey was able to see you quickly and that you felt heard, cared for, and supported with thorough recommendations. We really appreciate your trust in our IFM team.

I’m over the moon happy that I finally found this practice. For the first time in my adult life I feel truly seen and taken care of. I can stop googling symptoms when I’m concerned and hop on the patient portal and know I’ll have a caring person on the other side ready to problem solve. Everyone is super nice, the office is beautiful and clean, I could go on.. so good all around.
Response from the owner:Hi Lindsay! Reading your wonderful review made us just as happy! Your experience is what we aim to provide every day. We are honored to provide your care.

I was appreciative of the fact that I was immediately worked in at the last moment. Since my regular doctor was not in today, I saw one of his associates. I was both pleased and impressed as he educated himself to my complete medical history prior to actually seeing me. He also took as much time as was needed to fully answer all of my questions and make sure I understood what was needed to address the issues for which I came to Integrated Family Medicine. For the many years I have been coming there, I have always been treated as a person rather than a number on an assembly line.
Response from the owner:We love reading this, Chuck! We are so glad you felt well taken care of, even while not seeing your regular provider. Our entire team is dedicated to caring for all of our patients!

I always feel well cared for at Integrative Family Medicine - they always take the time to hear you and their advice is thoughtful, well considered and not in the least pushy (on my last visit, the doctor agree that we should just leave the issue alone and he was right; it resolved itself without intervention).
Response from the owner:Bob, thank you for the kind words. We’re glad you feel well cared for and that our team takes the time to really listen and offer thoughtful, pressure-free guidance. It’s great to hear the conservative approach on your last visit worked out and the issue resolved on its own.
Quality care, great follow-up.
Response from the owner:Thanks so much, Christina! We’re glad you felt well cared for, and we really appreciate you noticing the follow-up—we work hard to stay on top of things and support you between visits.

I honestly don't even know where to begin. I have waited my entire life for someone like Elizabeth Frost and for a doctor's office like Integrative family medicine of Asheville. I cannot recommend them both highly enough. After a lifetime of searching for healthcare providers who truly listen, I can honestly say Elizabeth Frost is the best medical professional I have ever had. From my very first appointment, I felt heard, respected, and genuinely cared for. She takes the time to understand the whole picture, asks thoughtful questions, and never makes me feel rushed or dismissed. As someone with a background in herbalism, I especially appreciate that she is knowledgeable about both conventional medicine and natural approaches. Instead of treating those worlds as opposites, she helps me thoughtfully navigate both. I've had experiences in the past where I left other doctor's offices feeling unheard, frustrated, or even intimidated. With Elizabeth, I leave feeling supported, empowered, and hopeful. She is compassionate, thorough, and genuinely cares about her patients. I am incredibly grateful to have found her and cannot recommend her highly enough.
Response from the owner:Erica, thank you so much for this thoughtful review. We’re grateful you’ve felt heard, respected, and supported here, and that Elizabeth’s thorough, whole-person approach—including thoughtfully integrating conventional and natural options—has made such a difference for you. It means a lot to know you leave feeling empowered and hopeful.

Just had my first visit with Liz. I loved meeting with her and her detail into my health moving forward while understanding all past history. It was such a great experience! As well as her professionalism and expertise, she was so nice and welcoming!
Response from the owner:Carol, thank you for sharing your experience. We’re so glad your first visit with Liz felt welcoming and thorough, and that you appreciated how carefully she reviewed your history while helping map out your health moving forward. We truly appreciate your kind words about her professionalism and expertise.

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.

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!
