Elsie Osei-Nkansah, MD
FOUNDER & CEO
Dr. Osei is the owner and physician at One Health Direct Primary Care. She is a Board Certified Family Practice Physician with over a decade of experience practicing in the Asheville-Arden area.
Dr. Osei saw the frustration and concern that many of her patients had to encounter in our current traditional medical system:
❌ Waiting weeks to get an appointment with their doctor and spending a lot of time in the waiting room during appointments
❌ Frustrations with surprise medical bills that show up weeks after your appointment
❌ Not being able to see your Doctor during busy clinic hours
❌ Delaying care due to concern for cost and associability
Starting One Health DPC allows her to fulfil her vision of primary care to her patients. She spends the time with you during your appointment and communicates directly with you between appointments. Her mission is to build a strong doctor - patient relationship that provides primary care that is tailored to you. Treating the whole person is the goal.
