First of all Dr Starnes was a pleasant your man. He was knowledgeable about my condition. He explained all the goings on in laymen's terms. That puts him way up on the list of fine Drs here in western NC. Thank you Dr Starnes for helping me out. Much gratitude.

“I pursued a career in medicine because I enjoy continually learning and applying science to help people live actively with fewer symptoms holding them back. My patient care philosophy centers around promoting healthy and active lives by nonoperative, minimally invasive means. I also work closely with other specialists to ensure each patient gets the optimal care they need. In my free time, I can be found mountain biking, watching one of my four children play sports alongside my wife, or at our church.” – Dr. Starnes
