About
Dr. Carly Brown, M.D., is a Board Certified Internist and the founder of Ashewell Medical Group, P.A. She created Ashewell to overcome the obstacles that prevent patients from receiving affordable, high‑quality primary care. Embracing the Direct Primary Care model, Dr. Brown believes that care should be timely, thorough, and personal, eliminating the middle‑man insurance barriers that limit both access and the doctor‑patient relationship. Her philosophy centers on treating each person as distinct, providing same‑day appointments, phone, email, and text communication, and ensuring that every visit leaves patients feeling better than when they arrived.
Dr. Brown’s clinical background is rooted in extensive internal medicine training and a commitment to community health. She maintains a small patient panel—allowing six times longer visits than the national average—to foster deep relationships and comprehensive preventive care. Outside the clinic, she leads community initiatives such as Masks of Love and a program that paid off $2 million in medical debt for residents of North and South Carolina, reflecting her dedication to improving health beyond the exam room.
