A concierge doctor focused on you

Robert Anderson, MD

Concierge Family Medicine

I was born and raised in the mountains of North Carolina, in Asheville. I was a public school kid and was an avid athlete, playing football and tennis, competitive snow skiing, as well as several others. I was very active in Young Life and FCA. I had a cousin that was my age that was diagnosed with leukemia at 13 years of age, and unfortunately, passed away in our senior year of high school. It was through his journey that I knew I wanted to become a physician.

I graduated from T.C. Roberson High School in 1983 and then attended the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill where I obtained a Bachelors Degree with Distinction in Chemistry in 1987. I then began my medical education at the Bowman Gray School of Medicine at Wake Forest University, graduating in 1991. My Family Medicine residency training was at Methodist Hospital, a very large downtown hospital in Indianapolis, Indiana, where I was required to be trauma certified to work in the Level I Trauma Center. During residency I was chosen to be Chief Resident of the Family Medicine Program.

After completing my training I moved back to Asheville and joined a larger practice, Asheville Family Medicine, as one of five partners. I opened my current practice, Biltmore Family Medicine, in 2004, and have remained a solo practitioner with the assistance of physician extenders. I have now practiced Family Medicine for over 30 years which has required certification and recertification of my Board exams on four occasions so far. I love caring for people and giving personal care which is increasingly difficult to find in today’s medical climate.

Personally, I am married to my teenage sweetheart, Tracy, and we have 3 children between us. We enjoy hiking, traveling, clogging/square dancing, and spoiling our three grandsons. Over the years our travel has included multiple mission trips domestically and to third world countries for medical mission work.
