The Practice

A practice built on people,
not protocols.

Your first visit

What happens when you
walk through our door.

You walk in, and we already expect you

No maze of menus. A real person at the front desk greets you by name, and walk-ins are genuinely welcome, not tolerated.

You are seen quickly, not shuffled

Same-day and walk-in visits move fast because we run a tight, caring practice, not a crowded factory floor.

Your provider actually listens

The same faces every visit. They remember your story, look you in the eye, and explain things until they make sense.

You leave knowing you are cared for

A clear plan, a way to reach us, and a practice that will know your name the next time too. That is the whole point.

The People Who Care For You

Meet the family
behind the practice.

Two physicians who built their life in Auburn, and a PA who chose this work because someone once cared for her this way. These are the people you will actually see.

Dr. Sarat Meka

Family Medicine

Sarat Meka, M.D.

Medicine runs in Dr. Meka's blood. He grew up in West Point surrounded by family in healthcare and has called Auburn home for most of his professional life. Off the clock, you will find him with his wife Dr. Powar, their son Teghan, or out riding one of his motorcycles.

Dr. Ruby Powar

Family Medicine

Ruby Powar, M.D.

From Vancouver to Auburn, Dr. Powar chose this town and these patients. She brings a warm, welcoming outlook that blends her Canadian roots with her adopted Southern home. When she is not in the office she is crafting, cooking, or with her husband and son.

Shelby Fitch, PA-C

Physician Assistant – Certified

Shelby Fitch, PA-C, MPAS

A high school accident put Shelby in the ER, where the PA who treated her changed everything. That moment of clear, compassionate care became her blueprint. She is now settled in East Alabama with her husband and two children, and she loves this work.

Auburn is
our home too.

We are not a chain or a corporation. We are a small practice that has grown because our patients keep coming back and send their neighbors. That is the only marketing that has ever worked for us.
