Baker Center for Primary Care

Family Medicine & Pediatrics in Avery County!

Family medicine providers, or primary care providers, are your partners in person-focused (not disease-oriented) healthcare. They deal with a wide range of medical issues, including diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic illnesses, disease prevention, obstetrics and gynecology, health maintenance, counseling, patient education. They are also trained to coordinate care among different specialists and subspecialists.

Pediatrics in Linville: Baker Center accepts new pediatric patients, infant to adolescence, in addition to adults. We want to be your whole family’s medical home here in the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Same-Day and Walk-in Clinics: The Same-Day Clinic and Walk-In Clinic is a convenient option for acute medical issues, such as colds, flu, sore throat, sinus pain, ear pain, allergies, bug bites/stings and minor injuries – things for which you would normally go to Urgent Care. High quality, efficient medical care is available for your whole family.

Monday-Friday: Call to reserve your same-day time for minor illnesses and injuries.
Saturday: Walk-ins are welcome 8:00 am – 12:00 noon.
