My Approach to Family Medicine
I focus on treating the entire person, not just their illness, by considering their mental, physical, and social needs. I chose family medicine to deeply understand each patient's unique life circumstances and am excited that NBFM lets us connect with and care for the diverse community of WNC.
About Kate Emery, MD
Dr. Kate Emery grew up in rural Arkansas where her appreciation for family medicine started early in life. Passions for both science and community led her to medical school at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. In an attempt to broaden horizons, she left Arkansas and came to the area to complete her residency in family medicine at MAHEC (Mountain Area Health Education Center). The area has been home ever since.
Dr. Emery finds reward in long and lasting relationships with her patients and enjoys getting to see the whole family. She enjoys time outdoors with her husband and American Akita, Mango. You can find her along the parkway or trying a new restaurant in town.
