I have lived and worked in the Asheville and Black Mountain areas all my life. Mission Hospitals is not perfect, but some of their care is wonderful especially if you stay with the Mission side.
General practitioners: I used to go to Family Care, but they seemed to only care about money. They stopped accepting many insurance policies, (supposedly because they did not make enough money from some policies), mine included, so I had to go elsewhere.
They built offices all over the area with money from patients with acceptable insurance companies. They had the gall to ask me back once I had another insurance company.
No way. I went to my current doctor whom I love and would not go back to Family Care if it was free. They were nice sometimes, but I feel I get better care and a better knowledge base where I go currently.
Unfortunately, lots of people found my doctor and he does not take new patients.
Keep trying though until you find a really good one! They're out there. I wish I had switched sooner, but I felt comfortable where I was so I stayed.
