With the somewhat recent retirement of my doctor, I called Compassionate Care about becoming a patient. After a couple of routine questions I was asked if had taken a Covid 19 vaccine. I answered honestly…no. Was then informed the “doctor” was not seeing patients who were not vaccinated against covid. I see no “compassion” or “care” in their decision. Avoid this place like the plague if you truly want medical care.
I agree with a previous reviewer…Leslie, you need to take your oath more seriously and you really should be ashamed of yourself. Next stop, the NC Medical Board.

If I could rate 0 I would. Call yourself Compassionate Care yet you discriminate people due to their medical history (see attached).
Leslie... You should be ashamed of yourself!!
Also try doing some research on the vaccine and you will find the unvaccinated are much healthier.
If you can't see the attachment, it is your letter to existing patients in your care, refusing further treatment if they have not had the Cl9 death jab. DISGRACEFUL!

I called "Compassionate Care" today to make an appointment for a physical as a new patient. I needed a new primary care doctor in the area, as I've used ASU health services while I was a student but recently graduated. I was asked for my information, as well as what medications I am currently taking. After listing my anti-depressant and anxiety medication, I was told they do not prescribe those kind of medications so they wouldn't be able to have me as a patient. I explained I see a psychiatrist for those, so that wouldn't be an issue. I was then told, "no, we do not bring those medications into

At the Foscoe location they don't pick up the phones too often. I was honest about medications and she was pretty rude and made sure that I knew there was no way I would get refills on pills that I needed in the past for an accident. And hello, I have not taken them for over a year! I understand as I have worked in the health field how addicts play the "GAME". But no need to be so rude out of the gate, don't assume the worst. .. Anyway the next apt. she seemed a bit nicer. The front desk is sometimes not there... very small place, unorganized. She seems knowledgeable, but can't tell at this point

Dr. Smith is wonderful! She's very approachable and down to earth. She's been my family's primary care physician for several years now, and we are very happy with the care that we've received. The practice recently moved to a new office space in Boone, so looking forward to seeing her at the more convenient location.

Dr. Smith is the most engaged and present physician I have ever had the pleasure to work with. She listens to your concerns fully and intensely, discusses what she is thinking and involves you in the decision-making around your treatment. She's not afraid to say the things that need to be said even if they are a bit uncomfortable to hear and I appreciate that in a partner for my health. I never feel rushed and often spend 15 to 30 minutes at an appointment with her. She recently discovered something that sent me to a local specialist who told me how impressed he was that she caught that particular

Dr. Smith is the absolute best. She genuinely cares about her patients. I've been with her for 2 1/2 years. She has always made me feel like a priority. She works with me as a partner to manage and improve my health. I'd recommend her to anyone. Her staff is amazing. Lena always tells me funny stories and distracts me because she knows it makes me nervous to have blood drawn. Stephanie, at the front desk, is friendly and helpful. If you need a doctor, this is the place to be.
