About Us

Hello Everyone!

I’m Dakotah Asher, founder and Physician Assistant at Integrity Medical, a Direct Primary Care (DPC) clinic in Knoxville. My journey in healthcare started when I earned my Bachelor’s in Health Science with a concentration in Radiology in 2009 and completed my Master’s in Physician Assistant Studies in 2017, both from South College of Knoxville.

My passion lies in primary care, where I’ve seen firsthand how insurance-based models can limit the quality and depth of care patients receive. Short visit times and strict regulations often left my patients feeling unheard and underserved—and left me frustrated as their provider that I wasn’t able to do more. Many couldn’t afford multiple visits or had lost coverage entirely, making consistent care difficult and costly.

I founded Integrity Medical to change that. By operating under the DPC model and not billing insurance, I can offer longer visits, personalized care, transparent pricing, and meaningful relationships with my patients—all without the red tape.

Having a trusted primary care provider is essential to long-term health. Whether you’re new to DPC, uninsured, looking for a primary care provider for the first time or just exploring a better healthcare experience, I’d love to meet you and show you how Integrity Medical can make a difference in your life.

Why Direct Primary Care?

With DPC, patients have direct access to me as their provider and can build a long-term, trusting relationship. It’s the kind of care that goes beyond quick visits and addresses your overall well-being. Integrity Medical is here to offer you the care you deserve.
