This is my medical doctor and I don't take my health lightly, especially as a mission hospital…read moreemployee. He is easily the best physician I have seen in a long time. His office staff is friendly and knowledgeable, always looking to help out however they can. From the CNAs and Physician Assistants to the nurse practitioner, everyone there is ready to help. Despite the time your scheduled to see the doc, if u need more time he'll happily provide it. His knowledge of general medicine and knowledge of specialty conditions and specialists to refer you too is awesome! 2 of my other doctors see Dr Vickery, so that's gotta be a good sign. Half the nurses I know see him too. I can't say enough good things about Dr Vickery. Try this practice, you won't be disappointed.

Watch out for several things: they are running under a new name: "Wild Health Asheville" and Dr…read more Vickery is no longer seeing patients publicly through insurance but rather under a privatized system which is why they changed their name. These new services are extremely expensive. Additionally although they "pride" themselves through their women's health and OBGYN practices, they are not prepared to provide women with pads or feminine products after these services. Staff turnover is extremely high as they go through a third party temp agency and fire well meaning employees for simple things like showing up to work and using the rest room as soon as they clock in. Remember, this is a doctor's office and the employees are punished for their bodily functions. Staff drama is extremely common. Steer clear.

This is in regard to Dr. Ann Smith, I'd say the best doctor experience I have had…read more Due to change in my Insurance I was hesitant to find another Doctor (after having the same primary care physician for 12 years). It actually was a blessing in disguise when I found Dr. Ann Smith with Apple Valley Family Medicine! I was happily surprised when I met her, very knowledgeable, personable and she took time to thoroughly answer my questions and concerns, I didn't feel rushed as I always had at my previous Doctor. I have been experiencing joint pain in my knees and ankles for the last few years, Dr. Smith recommended a treatment plan and said I'd feel better in two weeks and I did and do. I am very grateful, previous Dr. just told me it was my age (54), a kind of get used to it answer. Needless to say, 5 stars to Dr. Smith and the Office environment was great as well.

Dr.Gardner is the best physician I've ever had. Sometimes I have to wait, but that's because he…read morespends as much time with you as needed. You can't have it both ways... If you want a dr to spend time really listening to you, & sussing out your medical issues, then you have to accept an occasional wait because that's also what he's doing with the patient that came before you. In a hurried world where many Dr's grab their prescription pads and barely listen before diagnosing and treating you, Dr.Gardner is a real find. I've been coming here for approximately 13 years, and he's always hit the nail on the head. Plus he has a lovely bedside personality, a sory of Zen calm demeanor, super intelligent, and smiles a lot. Mostly I appreciate his deductive skills, how he works all the clues I provide into a diagnosis, and then a plan. The office is clean and the front staff friendly. Free parking in the lot downstairs. An elevator to his office shuttles those with mobility problems. On the few occasions I've needed a same day appt, it was arranged by Cathy at the front desk, with a simple phone call from me. On weekends the dr is available on call, or his "call partner" is available. My understanding is that he is not taking new patients (but has partners who will). I assume he got too popular. However, I emailed him to ask if he would do me the favor of seeing my parents - who had recently relocated to the area and needed a dr- and he not only squeezed them in to his packed roster, but continued to see my mom weekly for a while (until she needed to graduate to higher and higher level specialists). Dr. Gardner is still all 3 of our's primary care physician though. I feel lucky to have blindly picked him out on the insurance website.
