I’m Dr. Asia McDonald, and I’m so glad you’ve found your way to Healthy Roots MD. I founded this practice to bring healthcare back to what it should be: personal, empowering, and rooted in trust.
As a board-certified family physician with advanced training in lifestyle and weight-inclusive medicine, I created a practice that removes the barriers that often stand between people and the care they deserve.
❌ No long waits

✅ Just real, compassionate care focused on your goals, your values, and your well-being.
At Healthy Roots MD, we believe that everyone deserves quality care that honors their individual journey. You’ll be welcomed with dignity and respect — because whole-person health starts with being seen and heard.
What brings me the greatest joy? Seeing patients experience those “ah-ha” moments — when they realize what’s possible with the right support, time, and tools.
Let’s plant the first seed of change — it can all begin with a simple conversation.
🌱Here’s to your vibrant health,

PATIENT TESTIMONIALS
"I highly recommend Dr. Asia McDonald as a primary care physician. From my very first appointment, she took the time to truly listen and understand all of my concerns—both major and minor. She set aside a full hour to go through all of my health concerns with care and patience, which made me feel seen and prioritized. That kind of time and dedication is rare these days. She doesn't just focus on symptoms or quick fixes—she looks at the whole picture, considering both physical and mental well-being. If you're looking for a primary care doctor who actually listens, who genuinely cares, and who treats you like a whole person—not just a list of symptoms—I cannot recommend Dr. McDonald enough."
"Dr. Asia is the BEST doctor that I've ever had! Let's just say that she is the G.O.A.T of all doctors! Dr. Asia makes me feel like I'm sitting down talking to a family member whenever I have an appointment. Her open availability makes it convenient for my schedule. She actually cares about her patients' well-being and overall health. Dr. Asia listens without judgment and celebrates your health goals whether they're big or small. She knows that no two people are the same so your healthcare goals will be unique. If you want quality care, then you are right where you need to be!"
"Dr. McDonald has been a God send. I first met her when she worked at RSFH. She was so informative, actively listened, and genuinely cared. It was a no brainer to follow her. Appointments at Healthy Roots are filled with understanding, no judgment, and natural options that will help with your condition. One of my most fond memories is when I had an appointment to see my 8th Rheumatologist. Dr. McDonald went above and beyond. She told me to call her when I was with the doctor so she could listen in and ask questions. When we got off the phone, the Rheumatologist stated, 'Wow, she is an excellent doctor.' I second that. If you want to be heard and get quality time with your physician, please choose Dr. McDonald."
"If you are looking for a compassionate, competent, and respectful provider, look no further than Healthy Roots MD. Dr. McDonald is an excellent family practice physician who truly cares about her patients on a personal level and is committed to helping you reach your wellness and health goals. I also love the structure of her practice—it's thoughtful, patient-centered, and makes you feel truly cared for."
"If the scale could go to 10 stars I'd give Healthy Roots 11. Dr. Asia McDonald is personable, attentive, engaging, thorough and a wealth of knowledge. As a patient, Dr. Asia McDonald's approach to medicine/healthcare has been revolutionary. The experience with Healthy Roots has helped positively refresh how I feel about what it means to 'go to the doctor' from the dreaded 'I have to go' into a willingness of 'I want to go.' There are no uncomfortable phone calls with various front desk staff, no awkward waiting rooms, or waiting anxiously in a cold exam room. With Healthy Roots you get the doctor who has created a warm, welcoming and calm space. Health is Wealth!"
"Dr. McDonald/Healthy Roots has literally been the best doctor I have ever had! She makes it a point to learn and understand her patients, learn where health challenges may be and provide multiple solutions to problems. She stays current with the most up-to-date medical information and it is obvious she loves her career. She doesn't want to just treat symptoms but she makes it a point to get to the root of the problem so we can learn and grow. At the age of 48 I am becoming the healthiest 'me' I have ever been. In my opinion more doctors should follow her model because hands down she is phenomenal!"
