Dr. Brashears, a seasoned and passionate healthcare provider, is now available to provide exceptional medical care at their modern facility located at 240 Medical Park Blvd., Suite 300.

Dr. Brashears had a natural inclination toward medicine from a young age. Being brought up by an ER nurse and witnessing the fast-paced world of hospital care had a profound impact on him. “I frequently saw patients coming in with life-altering conditions that could have been prevented or improved in a clinic setting weeks beforehand,” Dr. Brashears reminisced. These early experiences crystallized his ambition to prevent serious health issues and offer supportive care long before they escalate into emergencies.

As a native of Appalachia, Dr. Brashears holds his local community close to his heart. He is keen on building lasting relationships with his patients, and firmly believes in the ethos of early detection and rigorous preventive measures. “Early detection and prevention are vital to optimal health,” he states. He adds that high levels of coordination in the primary care office facilitate better health outcomes, creating a more engaged and financially secure patient base.

Understanding the significant impact that hospital admissions can have on individuals and families, Dr. Brashears is committed to working closely with his team to reduce unnecessary ER visits and hospital stays. “Working closely with my team at HMG will allow me to prevent unnecessary hospital admissions, along with the expenses, frustration, and hardships that often accompany them,” he explained.

One of the significant advantages Dr. Brashears notes is the extensive network of specialties and services available within the HMG system. Patients can expect to receive personalized, empathetic medical care from professionals providing seamless referrals and collaborative treatment plans. “Being able to refer my patients within the HMG Family of Care provides a high level of coordination that patients deserve,” Dr. Brashears emphasized.

Dr. Brashears thrives on the philosophy of whole-person healthcare, ensuring families have accessible, affordable, and empathetic care from trusted healthcare providers. His educational background is impressive, having attained his medical doctorate from East Tennessee State, Quillen College of Medicine in Johnson City, Tenn. Post that, he completed his residency at ETSU Family Medicine Associates, also in Johnson City.

Beyond his professional life, Dr. Brashears enjoys a range of outdoor activities including hiking, mountain biking, and snowboarding. He is also enthusiastic about home improvement projects with his fiancé and is often found rebuilding older Toyota 4Runners when not traveling.
