Ashley Bainbridge, DO

Dr. Ashley Bainbridge is a board certified family medicine physician with a special interest in preventive medicine at PuraVita Direct Primary Care in Morgantown. She practices lifestyle medicine, an evidence-based discipline built around six pillars, diet and nutrition, physical activity, stress management, quality sleep, social connection, and avoiding risky substances, to prevent, treat, and even reverse chronic disease.

After years as a hospital-employed physician, she saw firsthand how insurance companies were dictating care, driving up costs, shrinking appointment times, and pushing doctors toward burnout. That experience led her toward a direct primary care model built on affordable, transparent pricing and real time with patients, so she can understand the root of a problem and counsel people toward better self-care. She favors traditional medicine and turns to advanced therapies only when needed, aiming to minimize interventions wherever possible.

A mother of four, she leans on a strong support system of her own and applies the same lifestyle medicine principles she teaches her patients to her own life.
