Davis, Caroline, Anne

I decided to become a provider in order to help others and be an advocate. I believe in patient-focused healthcare, encouraging the patient to be a part of their healthcare decisions and outcomes. Over the past four years I have worked in family medicine and love the continuity of care and getting to know my patients as well as their families. When I am not at work, I enjoy traveling and going on adventures with my husband and our dogs.

I chose to become a physician assistant after working in the sleep medicine field for over seven years. I felt like I wanted to learn more, explore more and take care of more of the body than just the sleep aspect. After learning about the entire body, I could not imagine ever going back to a specialty and have found my home in primary care. My philosophy for care involves entering into a relationship with my patients that feels safe and allows for them to take the information I have learned and experienced and evaluate it with their beliefs, capabilities and goals to meet their healthcare needs and allow them to find trust in medicine. My approach to patient care is to allow patients to receive the healthcare they want and need in the scope of evidence-based medicine practice. Outside of work, I enjoy coaching soccer, running (trail and road), gardening and I am known for having a sweet tooth for donuts.

I chose to become a physician assistant due to my passion for science and medicine. I wanted to make a long-lasting impact in patients’ lives. I gained a specific interest in endocrinology after treating patients with diabetes at a rural healthcare clinic in a small town in West Virginia for two years. I have since worked as an endocrinology physician assistant since 2017. My goal is to provide comprehensive, evidence-based care, as well as focusing on disease prevention through education and lifestyle management. In my free time, I volunteer with animal rescues. I enjoy the outdoors and spending time with my husband and our dogs.
