Baker Primary Care Center

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 Clinic: Our Same-Day Clinic offers a convenient solution for urgent medical concerns like colds, flu, sore throat, sinus pain, ear pain, allergies, bug bites/stings, and minor injuries—conditions typically treated at Urgent Care. Receive a prompt diagnosis and treatment plan to prevent your health issues from worsening. We provide high-quality, efficient medical care for the entire family when you need it most. Additionally, our clinic offers Department of Transportation physicals. Same-day appointments are open to everyone, with no need to be an established patient. The copay is the same as a standard primary care visit.

Establish a relationship with a family medicine provider by scheduling an annual routine check-up, which is covered by most health insurance plans. If you have Medicare, Baker Center provides Annual Wellness Visits. Call us for more information.

If you are unable to find an appointment through My UNC Chart, please call the office and we will try our best to accommodate your needs.
