Welcome to Dry Ridge Family Medicine, founded in 2009
by local board-certified family
medicine physician, Dr. Nicole
Ogg.
Our Mission
The goal at Dry Ridge
Family Medicine is to provide
excellent medical care and customer
service to the individuals and
families of Weaverville and
the surrounding area. Dr. Ogg
understands you have a
choice in who your doctor is.
She hopes to provide
you with the best quality
medical care and do so in a
friendly, home-like environment.
Our Services
We see children
and adults age 5 and up, both
for sick and well visits. She
does routine physical exams,
sports exams, gynecological
exams and DOT physicals by appointment.
She is well trained in skin
procedures such as mole removal
and laceration repair. Chronic
disease management is also a
large part of our practice,
and we manage patients
with conditions such as Diabetes,
Hypertension, Arthritis, Asthma/COPD,
Congestive Heart Failure, and
Obesity. We also welcome acute
care visits for ailments such
as sore throats, bronchitis,
urinary tract infections, and
back injuries.
Our Name
Dr. Ogg named the clinic Dry
Ridge after the oldest known
name of this area (it wasn't
officially Weaverville until
1874). The book "Dry Ridge
- Some of Its History, Some
of Its People" says
this:
"Dry Ridge is the oldest known
name, given by the Indians to
an elevation that rises in the
lower Reems Creek Valley extending
northward, coming to its highest
point on top of Hamburg Mountain."
Our Logo
Why a turtle? The
first reason is Dr. Ogg has
always liked turtles and is
an avid collector. The other
reason is because the turtle
shell represents a safe-haven
and is symbolic for patience,
stability, endurance and protection.
She hopes that Dry Ridge Family
Medicine will be a clinic people
will feel comfortable and safe
coming to visit.
