Looking for a Female Primary Care Physician Near Asheville & Weaverville?
If you’re searching for a female primary care doctor who doesn’t dismiss everything you say, Dr. Catherine Lok at RiverRock Clinic is accepting new patients. She provides comfortable, personalized care in a clinic where the membership is based on bidirectional respect and communication, treating patients of all ages—from newborns to older adults.

Personalized Women’s Health Care
Dr. Lok provides personalized care for a range of women’s health concerns, including menopause, birth control, and sexual health, with a comfortable approach whenever possible. She prescribes medications like birth control—including options that align with your values—and hormone replacement therapy (HRT). She also provides guidance on using food as medicine, supplements, herbs, and lifestyle changes to support your body’s natural healing abilities.
Whether it’s addressing period issues, PCOS, ordering a mammogram, managing fibroids, or navigating menopause, Dr. Lok focuses on care that balances conventional treatments with natural methods. She enjoys collaborating with specialists who offer additional perspectives, such as acupuncturists.
Procedures available include stirrup-free Pap smears, IUD removal, and Nexplanon insertion (on a case-by-case basis). While Dr. Lok has provided prenatal care in the past, she does not offer prenatal services at this time.
For birth control, Dr. Lok helps you choose the method that matters most to you—considering effectiveness, convenience, side effects, ease of use, and personal values. Options may include birth control pills, Nexplanon (arm implant), the vaginal ring, and referrals for IUD placement.
She also provides confidential, judgment-free STI testing and treatment for infections including chlamydia, gonorrhea, HPV warts, herpes, syphilis, and trichomoniasis, supporting your choice to get tested as often as you need.
When it comes to menopause, Dr. Lok honors this natural phase of life while managing symptoms respectfully. Evaluations include common concerns like hot flashes and mood changes, with HRT prescribed when appropriate. She works with patients to develop tailored care plans that may include HRT, medications, nutrition-based approaches, supplements, herbs, and physical activity. While incorporating a comfortable approach, she does not practice functional medicine, use DUTCH hormone testing, or prescribe HRT outside conventional guidelines.
