Dr. Rob Karas
Dr. Rob grew up in a small town outside of Ft. Wayne, Indiana. He spent his youth playing sports and hunting with his brothers. He graduated from Hillsdale College in Michigan with a double major in German and Finance. After Graduating, he volunteered for 18 months teaching English in Thailand for the government school systems. While working as a volunteer, he changed his career choice from business to health-care.
He graduated from medical school at Indiana University in 1998 and then completed a 3 year residency in Family Medicine. After residency, Dr. Rob worked more than 5 years in a busy emergency room where he served as Director of the ER. He and his family moved to Arkansas to be closer to his wife’s family in 2000. He initially worked in the emergency rooms at Washington Regional, St Edwards and St Mary’s since moving to Arkansas.
In October 2008 he opened his first walk in clinic in Lowell and the Fayetteville clinic opened in 2012. In 2015 he changed the name from Karas Urgent Care to Karas Health Care, as the clinic became the Health Care primary care provider for most of our patients. In 2016 Karas Health Care took over the contract for medical services of the Washington County Detention Center and now have over 30 full time employees.
Initially Dr. Rob’s goal with medicine was to be a missionary doctor overseas. However, that has evolved into a two-fold mission right here, 1) Taking care of patients like they are family and 2) creating a joyful work environment by taking care of his own coworkers like family and knowing that by taking good care of our coworkers, we are taking the best possible care of our patients.

Mariah White, Life Coach
My journey to life coaching is like a tree with many branches that feeds my never ending pursuit of learning, connecting to people and supporting my community. This includes a background in women's health as a licensed midwife, supporting families through the transition of pregnancy, birth and the tender post-partum period. Another big branch has been owning and operating a bio-intensive farm. Farming has given me the gift of connection to our community and hard work. This year I am celebrating being a mother for 20 years! I have 2 great kids that every day both amaze me and challenge me to be a better person. My husband and I have continued to grow and learn together as we navigate parenting, farming and what it means to be a good partner. I am also incredibly fortunate to have many long time and meaningful friendships. When I make time for me I love: gardening, mountain biking, yoga, trail running, paddling and spending time with friends.
The culmination of these experiences has profoundly influenced my belief in our abilities as humans to set our intentions and achieve our dreams. Coaching gives me the opportunity to help others find their fulfillment. I am continually inspired by the work that I get to do with my clients. Watching people move into their next level of happiness and freedom has been one of my greatest adventures.
