About

Dr. Collins has built her career at the intersection of internal medicine, prevention and lifestyle medicine. Her interest in this work was shaped in part by her mother’s experience with type 2 diabetes and later breast cancer. Growing up in Snellville, Georgia, she saw firsthand how chronic illness can affect both patients and their families. Those experiences sparked her interest in helping patients improve their health, reduce future risk and prevent disease when possible. They also led her to become board certified in Lifestyle Medicine.

She earned her undergraduate degree at the University of Georgia before coming to Emory for medical school and internal medicine residency. She later earned her MBA from Emory’s Goizueta Business School. Most of her career has been at Emory where she served as site lead at Emory Peachtree Hills and the Academic Internal Medicine Center. Dr. Collins also enjoys teaching and has taught nutrition and exercise curriculum at Emory University School of Medicine, in addition to precepting internal medicine residents at Emory University Hospital Midtown. In 2025, she became Chief of Concierge Medicine at Emory Healthcare.

Her approach to patient care starts with understanding the whole person. She takes time to learn about each patient’s goals, values and daily life. From there, she develops an individualized plan that combines evidence-based medicine with proactive, personalized care. A major focus of her practice is helping patients improve longevity and health span by identifying risks early, preventing disease when possible and preserving function and quality of life over time.

Outside the office, Dr. Collins is a mom to two children and spends many weekends on the soccer field cheering on her son. She enjoys hiking, gardening, Pilates and strength training. She and her family also enjoy traveling and experiencing new places, food and cultures. She is an avid college and professional sports fan, particularly football and soccer.

Her mission is to help patients live longer, healthier lives through care that is personal, proactive and grounded in evidence.

Dr. Collins is caring and knowledgeable. She has provided excellent advice about diet, exercise, and books that positively changed my lifespan. The conversation would vastly improve if she had the blood results and scans before the exam. There's so much information in the test results. The post-exam summary email is fine, but I desire a conversation with testing results in the care providers hand.

Dr. Collins ordered an urgent CT scan, which I had completed within 24 hours with results available just a few hours later, and despite four attempts over the past ~24 hours to contact her to discuss the results and move on to next steps, I have not heard from her or the doctor covering for her while she is out of the office today. I am in pain with CT scan results that are causing me anxiety, and I'm very disappointed in her and in Emory Healthcare.

Dr. Caroline Collins is a very pleasant person. I have numerous medical problems, and the time allotted to me was not sufficient. Patients like me should have 2 hour appointments.

My every encounter with Dr. Collins in the over seven years as my internist personal physician has been an exceptional healing and informative experience. During a period when I was confronted with multiple related medical problems, she coordinated all of my diagnostic and treatment experiences.I come from a family with seven physicians (3 generations), and a psych nurse. Since 1967, I have trained with, served with, lectured with, investigated outbreaks and possible terrorist situations with, sat on hospital committees with, and published with physicians of many specialties. I have worked closely with many fine physicians.As a diagnostician and clinical physician, she is remarkable, she is a supportive and compassionate physician, and from these perspectives she stands among my most admired and excellent physician acquaintances.
