Jason Crawford, MD is the Founder and President of Dogwood Primary Care + Medical Aesthetics. Joining him is Licensed Esthetician Jessica Martin. Dr. Crawford was born in Miami, Florida, but grew up in Asheville and considers the Appalachian Mountains to be “home” and it’s a dream come true to open his own practice in Avery County. Dr. Crawford counts it as a blessing to have rotated through hospitals in New York City as a medical student (thus gaining experience in the challenges of urban medicine), followed by three formative years in Lynchburg, VA learning the craft of family medicine under the talented supervision of Dr. David Gregory, and finally joining the Baker Center in 2015 where he began the practice of medicine alongside one of Avery County’s most dedicated physicians: Dr. Charles “Charlie” Baker. Dr. Crawford has also practiced in the Colorado Rocky Mountains, where he honed his urgent care skills (especially those gnarly mountain biking and snow accidents!).

Now, Dr. Crawford is proud to call the High Country of NC his home and workplace. He is looking forward to providing Direct Primary Care to the community. He believes DPC is a better way to experience healthcare that just makes sense.

We believe your primary care experience should be personal, affordable, and accessible. You should be able to access the doctor who knows you best, every time, and in the way that’s most convenient to you, all for the price of a monthly cell phone subscription. 

Dr. Crawford likewise enjoys facilitating aesthetic clients along their beauty journeys, with a treatment philosophy of softening the effects of aging and enhancing natural beauty. He is a hands-on practitioner and enjoys performing procedures that produce visible and satisfying results, both in aesthetics and in medicine!

In his free time, Dr. Crawford enjoys spending time with his family, including his beautiful wife Nancy, their three children, and their Great Pyrenees-Anatolian Shepherd mix Piper. He also enjoys running, playing soccer and lacrosse, cooking, reading, woodworking, playing bass guitar, and traveling.
