Meet Dr. Kashiti Long, MD
A physician who believes you deserve more time, more access, and more personalized care.
Dr. Kashiti Long is a double board-certified physician in Internal Medicine and Lifestyle Medicine and the founder of Long Health & Wellness in Charlotte, NC.
A graduate of Howard University, Morehouse School of Medicine, and Emory University School of Medicine, Dr. Long brings extensive experience in primary care and chronic disease management.
But her approach to medicine goes beyond treating illness. After seeing how rushed, high-volume healthcare can leave patients feeling unheard, she created Long Health & Wellness to offer something different: more time to listen, a deeper understanding of each patient, and care focused on the whole person.
Through Direct Primary Care and Lifestyle Medicine, Dr. Long helps patients take a proactive approach to their health—combining evidence-based medicine with nutrition, movement, sleep, stress management, and sustainable lifestyle changes.
You shouldn't have to wait weeks just to feel rushed, unheard and overcharged.
You finally get an appointment.
Three weeks later.
You sit down, and before you've had a chance to explain what's really going on, you're already watching the clock.
Your visit feels rushed.
Your concerns feel brushed aside.
You don't feel heard.
And after all that?
You get the bill.
Copays. Deductibles. Unexpected costs.
You waited weeks, got only a few minutes with your doctor, and walked away wondering if anyone actually listened.
Primary care can be different.
More access. More time. More personal attention. Predictable monthly pricing.

— Long Term Patient
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Dr. Long. After three years of searching due to the cost of healthcare, I finally found her, and it was life-changing. She offers a monthly payment plan (DPC) which gave me access I never had before. Our initial visit was a full hour, where we talked in depth about my overall health. By the end, I had prescriptions, referrals to specialists, and a clear plan. Dr. Long is incredibly responsive, she even texts back with care and speed. Beyond her thoroughness, she’s honest, funny, and made me feel truly heard. I’m so grateful to have found her, she’s a gem.”

Extremely high touch engagement, quick turn around on questions, thorough request of lab work, and recommendation on vitamins that I'm really thinking with help, among other suggestions.

“After losing my health insurance, I was anxious about finding a new way to manage my healthcare. Choosing Long Health & Wellness Family and Dr. Long turned out to be one of the best decisions I've made. From my very first appointment, Dr. Long made me feel heard, respected, and genuinely cared for. She takes the time to listen, answer questions, and explain things in a way that makes me feel like an active partner in my own healthcare rather than just another patient. It truly feels like we're working together as a team to make the best decisions for my health. I also appreciate the Direct Primary Care model. Having easy access to my physician, longer appointments, and transparent pricing has completely changed how I think about healthcare. Instead of feeling rushed or overwhelmed, I feel supported. If you're looking for a provider who is compassionate, knowledgeable, and committed to building a real relationship with her patients, I can't recommend Dr. Long and Long Health & Wellness Family highly enough!”
