Gregory Narron, MD
Dr. Narron believes that mental health is the key to true health. Though he
began his medical training in general surgery, he ultimately decided upon
psychiatry. Dr. Narron is trained in adult and child psychiatry. He finds that
treating children and adults allows for a deeper developmental perspective
about how symptoms present over a lifetime.
In his 20 year career in Asheville, Dr. Narron has been involved in systems of
care in his community. He has served as medical director of a start-up
adolescent hospital program, as a board member of a start-up private school,
and as a psychiatric consultant to non-profit organizations. He is currently
serving as the psychiatric consultant to several private boarding schools,
therapeutic boarding schools, therapeutic residential communities and a
wilderness therapy program for adolescents. He uses a systems approach whether
providing individual care or organizational consultation.
