1365 Clifton Road Northeast, Bldg A, Fl 1, Ste, Atlanta, GA 30322About
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.
