About

At Carah Medical Arts, two board-certified family physicians practice integrative anthroposophic medicine for the whole family. The practice sits at 500 Gay Street in Phoenixville, PA. Dr. Melissa Greer and Dr. Raphael Knauf co-lead the practice as Co-executive Directors.

Carah Medical Arts operates as a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation, built on a community-supported economic model. The name itself carries meaning across languages: friend in Gaelic, love between neighbors in Welsh, and the way in Indonesian. The practice weaves together conventional family medicine, natural remedies, lifestyle adjustments, osteopathic manual therapy, therapeutic eurythmy, and anthroposophic nursing therapies. Physicians host regular community educational events at Rose Hall, Camphill Village Kimberton Hills. The practice holds a Solidarity and Family Support Fund for members who need financial assistance with membership costs.
