Operating his private practice in North Carolina, Hoch has spent his career blending nutritional medicine, osteopathic manual techniques, and family medicine. His professional trajectory includes roles as the President of the American Holistic Medical Association in 2003 and a leadership position at the Arizona Center for Health and Medicine, an institution that gained national attention in the 1990s. Beyond clinical work, he has maintained academic affiliations with institutions including Columbia University and the University of Connecticut, where he mentored trainees in integrative approaches.
Integrative Medicine Pioneer Mark L. Hoch Named Pinnacle Professional
Dr. Mark L. Hoch, owner of an Asheville-based practice, has been named a Pinnacle Professional of the Year by The Inner Circle for his decades of work in holistic and integrative medicine. His career bridges the gap between conventional Western clinical practice and spiritual, whole-person healing modalities.

Hoch’s methodology is rooted in his 1988 medical degree from the University of Pittsburgh and his subsequent Master of Divinity. This dual background informs his development of neuro-fascial release, a technique designed to address musculoskeletal pain and organ dysfunction. His current focus involves scaling his educational efforts, specifically through an online curriculum aimed at preventing and reversing osteoporosis. With a track record that includes a 2009 Bush Medical Fellowship and recognition as one of America’s Best in Medicine for 2026, he continues to advocate for patient-centered care that prioritizes the body's innate healing capacity.
