Caroline was born and raised in Southeastern Pennsylvania. She moved to North Carolina in 2006 to attend Guilford College, where she earned degrees in Fine Arts and Communications. Following graduation, she certified and worked as an EMT and an anesthesia technician while taking pre-medicine prerequisite courses. She then attended Elon University School of Health Sciences and earned a Master of Science Physician Assistant degree.
Caroline worked in traditional pediatrics for several years before deciding to leave corporate medicine after witnessing the limitations and ill effects of allopathic medicine. She then joined NorthStar Medical and, although they embodied the humble, Christian values she knew medicine was lacking, she still sought a more holistic, preventative approach. That’s where Robinhood comes in.
Caroline has worked in pediatrics since becoming a PA and is passionate about advocating for the health and success of children. In addition to hands-on training, she has studied at Functional Medicine University and regularly attends integrative pediatric medicine conferences. She believes in personalized, preventative, and holistic medicine that frees children from the medical mainstream and empowers patients to live their best life.
Caroline lives in Rural Hall with her husband, John, and their big friendly dog named Sully, where they are dedicated members of Calvary Baptist Church. She spends her free time cooking, gardening, building, painting, and hiking.
A doctor of integrative medicine is a physician who practices functional and holistic medicine. Doctors of integrative medicine believe in a whole person or systems approach to managing chronic ailments and preventing illnesses. Their main focus is on addressing the underlying root cause of disease instead of just covering up symptoms.
Additionally, they believe patients ought to be educated about their conditions and have a better comprehension of their treatment plans and the motive governing the treatment plan. This is why longer (half an hour) office visits with our doctors are routine at Robinhood Integrative Health (RIH).
We have a great, well-trained team of healthcare providers that will do their best so you can experience health as it ought to be.
Honestly, not much. Functional and integrative medicine can pretty much be used interchangeably.
They both strive to treat an individual as a whole and concentrate on developing personalized treatments tailored to treat and cure underlying causes of disease. They also attempt to restore people to an optimal state of wellness not just an absence of disease.
Our providers have training in both Integrative and Functional Medicine and continue to learn. Our providers pursue ongoing medical education about various topics including hormones, thyroid dysfunction, anti-aging, chronic infections, Lyme disease, mold toxicity, and IV therapies. We strive to get better and more comprehensive every year.
