🌟 Provider Spotlight - Dr. Gregory Price, MD 🌟

Dr. Price brings a thoughtful, problem-solving approach to primary care at our Boone clinic. He enjoys getting to know his patients and helping them navigate their health through every stage of life.

He earned his undergraduate degree from Boston College, went to medical school at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and completed his residency at Middlesex Hospital in Middletown, CT.

Before becoming a doctor, Dr. Price once worked in Yellowstone National Park during a year of intense wildfires. When the park closed to the public, he stayed to support the fire crews—an experience he won’t forget.

These days, he enjoys hiking, running, traveling, and exploring national parks with his wife and two daughters. His family lives right here in Boone, where he says life with teenagers is ""getting more interesting.""

We're lucky to have Dr. Price on the Hopscotch team! If you have any feel-good stories or experiences with Dr. Price, please share them in the comments below. 🧡

Sure, you know how to read a chart. But you also know how to read a room. You explain a complicated diagnosis with kindness. You remember your patients' grandkids’ names. You translate “feeling off” into an actionable care plan.

At Hopscotch, we’re hiring Advanced Practice Providers (NPs & PAs) who know that clinical skill + compassion is the real magic.

If you’re practicing medicine with your heart and your brain, we’ve saved you a seat. Apply at one of our clinics across Western North Carolina at https://hubs.ly/Q03wdjbS0.
