Golden Oak Medicine is a superior concierge practice specializing in aging and geriatric medicine, dedicated to providing comprehensive, individualized care with advanced expertise in cognitive and whole-person health. Our focus is on well aging—helping individuals optimize their longevity, vitality, and health span through proactive, precision-based medicine that supports both body and mind. Led by Drs. Golnosh Sharafsaleh, MD, and Kate Blaney-Marshall, MD, both board-certified geriatricians, our team integrates evidence-based medical care, advanced diagnostics, and personalized strategies designed to help people age with strength, clarity, and purpose.
At Golden Oak Medicine, we are experts in helping people age well. Even though our practice is located in Asheville, North Carolina, individuals from across the country seek our care for our distinctive approach that extends far beyond traditional medicine. Our model is rooted in the 5Ms of Geriatrics—multimorbidity, mindset, mobility, medications, and maintaining independence—delivered through a lens of precision medicine that incorporates genomics, advanced testing, and individualized health optimization strategies.
We are leaders in cognitive health, focusing on early detection and proactive management of mild cognitive impairment and early-stage dementia. Our approach includes access to innovative diagnostics and evidence-based treatments designed to support brain health and slow potential decline. Unlike disease-focused models of care, we address the interconnected systems that influence cognition, including cardiovascular, metabolic, and inflammatory pathways.
In addition to her geriatric expertise, Dr. Sharafsaleh is board-certified in lifestyle medicine, enhancing our ability to integrate nutrition, movement, sleep, and stress resilience into personalized care plans. This approach bridges cutting-edge science with practical, sustainable habits—empowering individuals to actively shape how they age.
At Golden Oak Medicine, we believe aging well begins decades before it becomes visible. Many conditions associated with aging—osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, cognitive decline, and frailty—develop long before symptoms arise. Our mission is to prevent decline before it begins. Through precision-based, preventative, and holistic strategies, we help our patients extend their health span, preserve independence, and maintain a high quality of life throughout the aging journey.
For services covered by Medicare, claims are billed accordingly as part of our comprehensive care model.
After completing extensive primary medical training and additional fellowship training, our providers are fully equipped to deliver exceptional geriatric and memory care. Board-certified in our primary specialties and Geriatric medicine, we ensure the highest standard of comprehensive patient care in the Western Carolina region.
In a comfortable, clean, and friendly environment, we are committed to helping patients maintain their health, independence, and quality of life. Our goal is to support each patient’s unique health journey with expertise, compassion, and personalized attention—recognizing that true healthcare means treating the whole person, not just isolated symptoms.
