Golden Oak Medicine is a superior concierge geriatric practice dedicated to providing executive geriatric care with advanced cognitive health expertise. Led by Drs. Golnosh Sharafsaleh, MD & Kate Blaney-Marshall, MD, both board-certified geriatricians, our practice specializes in a proactive, precision-driven approach to aging, helping individuals in their 50s and beyond take control of their aging trajectory to optimize longevity, mobility, and cognitive health.
As comprehensive geriatric experts in Western North Carolina, we provide nuanced healthcare that extends far beyond traditional medical treatment. Our practice distinguishes itself through a holistic, function-focused approach to patient care—addressing the critical “5 Ms” of geriatric medicine: multimorbidity, mindset, mobility, medications, and maintaining independence.
We are leading experts in cognitive care, with a particular focus on early detection and proactive management of mild cognitive impairment and early-stage dementia. Our practice offers innovative treatments, including advanced amyloid-targeted therapies, designed to support cognitive health and slow potential decline. Unlike neurology-focused care, we comprehensively manage the intricate health factors that influence cognitive well-being, addressing interconnected conditions such as cardiovascular and metabolic disorders that directly impact brain health.
In addition to geriatrics, Dr. Sharafsaleh is also board-certified in lifestyle medicine, further enhancing our ability to integrate nutrition, movement, sleep, and stress management into care plans. By combining medical expertise with evidence-based lifestyle strategies, we help our patients not just manage aging, but actively shape how they age.
Aging is often thought of as something to be addressed later in life, yet the foundation for strength, resilience, and independence is laid much earlier. Many age-related conditions—such as osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, cognitive decline, and frailty—begin developing decades before they manifest. Yet, traditional healthcare focuses on treating disease rather than preventing decline, leaving many people unaware of the strategies available to preserve function and vitality long-term.
At Golden Oak Medicine, we take an integrated, precision-based approach that prioritizes function, independence, and cognitive health while ensuring that cardiovascular and metabolic risks are addressed early. Our goal is to maintain mobility, prevent frailty, and minimize unnecessary medications that contribute to long-term decline. Rather than simply managing disease, we emphasize proactive, preventative strategies that help patients stay strong, independent, and thriving for years to come.
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.
