For 17 years, Dr. Blievernicht practiced as a pioneering physician in
Greensboro, North Carolina. His holistic approach to General Surgery
included facilitating patient empowerment through education and
communication, the integration of nutrition, guided imagery, music, and
honoring the mind-body-spirit connection in the care of his patients. He

was the founder of the Moses H. Cone Tumor Board and the Cancer
Committee which he chaired for 14 years. He served on the first Medical

and has over 400 hours of education in Behavioral Medicine including
clinical training with Dr. Herbert Benson at Harvard University. He also
founded and is president of The North Carolina Center for the Healing
Arts, a non-profit organization dedicated to the integration of
individuals from a large spectrum of the healing professions in order to

Upon moving to Asheville in 1997, he was on the staff of Great Smokies
Medical Center for two years where his practice included Pain Care (Prolotherapy
