Why Farmers in Asheville and Weaverville Choose RiverRock Clinic as Their Primary Care

Farming is demanding work. Whether it’s tending animals, planting and harvesting, or keeping up with the constant repairs that come with running land and equipment, there’s rarely a free moment in the day. Sitting on hold with a doctor’s office for an hour or waiting weeks for an appointment just doesn’t work. That’s where direct primary care (DPC) at RiverRock Clinic comes in.

The founder of RiverRock Clinic, Dr. Catherine Lok grew up in a small farming town—Upper Sandusky, Ohio. While I was more of a “town girl,” some of my favorite memories were walking through the weekly farmer’s market and going to the county fair (our motto was “Worth Crowing About”). Even from the sidelines, I saw the hard work farming families put in and how little free time they had for things like doctor visits especially during planting/harvest seasons.

Why Farmers Are a Great Fit for DPC

Traditional medical systems don’t match the reality of farm life. They often mean:

• Sitting on hold just to get a refill

• Waiting weeks for an appointment

• Taking hours away from the farm to sit in a waiting room

With DPC at RiverRock Clinic, your healthcare works around you. Our members enjoy:

• Direct communication with your doctor—no middlemen, no phone tree

• Extended visits (up to 45 minutes) where you’re actually heard

• Affordable monthly memberships that make care predictable

Care for You and Your Family

Farm families often work together—and healthcare should support everyone, not just the individual. With membership, you can cover yourself, your spouse, and your kids with the same easy access to care.

The Bottom Line

Farming doesn’t stop for sick days, but you shouldn’t have to push through without help. At RiverRock Clinic, we make healthcare simple, convenient, and dependable—so you can get back to the work (and the people) that matter most.
