Ben Wolf founded his Direct Primary Care clinic to shift the focus from simply managing sickness to actively optimizing health. As a former hospitalist, Dr. Wolf spent years treating patients with advanced chronic conditions. While he valued the intellectual challenge of solving complex medical puzzles in the hospital setting, he realized his true passion lay in helping patients maintain their health long before hospitalization becomes necessary.

Dr. Wolf transitioned to the DPC model to break free from the rushed, insurance-driven assembly line. He believes that high-quality care requires time, accessibility, and a collaborative relationship between doctor and patient. His approach blends evidence-based Internal Medicine with a strong emphasis on lifestyle modifications—using nutrition, movement, and habits not just to prevent illness, but to actively treat disease.

A graduate of KCU-COM, Dr. Wolf made Asheville his home five years ago specifically for the access to the outdoors. When he isn’t in the clinic, you can find him out canyoneering, rock climbing, or trail running with his dog, Franklin.
