Asheville in the 1920’s was an exciting place! Celebrities, including F. Scott Fitzgerald and Edwin Grove flocked to our beautiful city, joining locals like Thomas Wolfe, finding inspiration in the gorgeous mountain setting. Sadly, on November 20, 1930 the Central Bank and Trust Company folded and Asheville joined the rest of the country in the Great Depression. Adversity breeds innovation; however, and in 1938 young Doctor William McGuffin recognized the need for quality medical care for young families and children. The practice that would become Asheville Pediatrics was born. While physicians have cared for children as long as there have been physicians and children, the development of specialized training for pediatricians was not realized until the early middle of the twentieth century. The American Academy of Pediatrics was formed on June 23, 1930, The American Board of Pediatrics in 1933, and the first issue of the Journal of Pediatrics was published in 1948. By the late 1950’s and early 1960’s, the number of pediatricians in the United States was growing rapidly. Asheville was no exception to this trend and in 1970 Dr. Thomas Readling and Dr. Richard Rogers joined Dr. McGuffin, and Asheville Pediatric Associates was established as the first Pediatric Practice in the area. As the decades have passed, Asheville Pediatrics has grown and changed along with the rest of Western North Carolina. Our founding fathers have retired and new faces have joined our family. Our patients have grown up and now we see their children and grandchildren. Yet, the more things change, the more they stay the same; at Asheville Pediatrics we continue in our unwavering commitment to providing cutting-edge pediatric care in a compassionate and child-friendly environment. It is our privilege and our delight to work with you and your children!

We see Dr. Cohen primarily, but all the doctors are wonderful. They take the time to listen to us and answer all our questions. I have never felt rushed and they are particularly wonderful with my autistic daughter. I'm happy that they believe in vaccines following all the most up to date medical advice!!

AWFUL SERVICE! I waited 2 hours to be seen! My son had a fever of 102.5 and yet he "wasn't sick" EVERYTIME I go there I am disappointed with the service. The doctors are there to do their job. ( meaning they aren't compassionate) You wait 2 hours and then they walk in and say "he is fine" and out they go. One time they even prescribed the WRONG medication/dosage to my son and thankfully I had the pharmacist check it prior to giving it to my son. I am NEVER going there again. WASTE of time and money!

The best baby doctors ever

I am a mother of five ranging in ages of 16-7 and I have had many pediatric doctors in those years and out of all of the ones that I have dealt with these doctors and nurses at Asheville Pediatrics are the more caring and most competent in all of Asheville in my opinion! Take it from a mother of five they really know what they are doing there they never make you feel dumb for being worried about the littlest things and they take care of your son or daughter as if they are there own and I can promise you that.
