You made a smart choice.

With Integrative Family Medicine's Direct Primary Care (DPC) model, individuals and families like yours experience real cost savings — no surprise bills, no copays, no rushed appointments. But the value goes far beyond affordability.

We’re here to integrate into your life — your workplace, your family routines, your long-term health goals. Being a member means your provider is a true partner in your ongoing wellness journey, not just someone you see once a year.

Smart care. Personal care. Continuous care. Great choice.

No Waiting Lists. No Standby. Just Care That Fits You.

At Direct Primary Care (DPC) clinics like Integrative Family Medicine, we do things differently — and your time matters.

Unlike traditional health care practices that routinely overbook appointments, DPC clinics like ours prioritize lower doctor-to-patient ratios so you can access care when you need it — not weeks later.

Here’s what that means for you:

✅ Same-day or next-day appointments — guaranteed
✅ Longer visit times (no rushed 5-minute conversations)
✅ Real relationships with your provider
✅ Better follow-up and better outcomes

Because when you’re sick, stressed, or simply need answers, waiting shouldn’t be an option.

You deserve a seat — every time. Learn more and experience the difference today by visiting www.integrativeasheville.org.

Feeling the seasonal slump that comes with the shorter, colder days?

As daylight decreases, many of us experience shifts in mood, energy, and motivation — but small habits can make a big difference.

Health Tip: Maximize morning light exposure within the first hour of waking. Even just 15–20 minutes can help regulate your internal clock, boost energy, and support your mood!

Also talk with your provider about whether Vitamin D supplementation is right for you as levels often drop this time of year.

Get ahead of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) and protect your well-being as the days get shorter. Your mood matters.

Meet the newest provider at our River Arts District location — Jess VanRegenmorter, APRN, DNP, FNP-C, LMBT!

We’re thrilled to welcome Jess to our care team, and she’s now accepting new patients ages 1–62!

As a Family Nurse Practitioner, Jess is dedicated to patient-centered care that honors the whole person. She earned her Doctor of Nursing Practice from Western Carolina University. Her doctorate training included extensive clinical experiences in family medicine, pediatrics, women’s health, geriatrics, cardiology, addiction medicine, urgent care, and a focus on integrative health.

When she’s not caring for patients, you’ll find her: Walking in the woods, tackling house projects, and (on most days) dancing in the kitchen!

Help us give Jess a big IFMA community welcome below! Ready to schedule? Reach out today or visit our website at www.integrativeasheville.org

Today we’re celebrating one whole year of having Richard Downing, FNP-BC on our team!

Richard’s journey in health care is nothing short of inspiring. From Neuro-Surgical and Neuro-Trauma ICU care to urgent care and occupational medicine, he’s spent his career making a meaningful difference in patients’ lives. After earning his Family Nurse Practitioner degree from Duke University, he continued to build trust and connection everywhere he goes — and we’re lucky that journey brought him here to Integrative Family Medicine.

In just a year, Richard has shown unwavering dedication, reliability, and a remarkable willingness to jump in wherever needed. As our Co-Founder, Chad Krisel, MD, shares, “Richard is the ultimate team member, always willing to step up and pitch in when the need arises! Thank you, Richard, for all that you bring to the IFMA team!”

And while his clinical expertise is exceptional, it’s the warmth he brings to patient care — paired with his great sense of humor — that truly sets him apart. His presence has strengthened our team and elevated the care we provide at our Sierra Nevada Wellness Clinic location.

Richard, we are so grateful for your compassion, your commitment, and the laughter you bring to our days. Here’s to many more years of growing, serving, and making an impact together!
