Dr. Sara Caldwell, MD

Dr. Sara Caldwell is a board-certified internal medicine physician and an Asheville native who has spent most of her life in Western North Carolina. She earned her undergraduate degree in Health and Wellness Promotion from UNC Asheville, graduating Summa Cum Laude, before continuing on to Wake Forest University School of Medicine in Winston-Salem.

During medical school she helped create a student wellness program designed to prevent burnout among medical students — an early signal of the prevention-first philosophy that still shapes her clinical practice.

Dr. Caldwell completed her internship and residency at Carolinas Medical Center (now Atrium Health) in Charlotte, where she was named Intern of the Year and went on to serve as 3rd-year resident co-chief. In 2016 she returned home to Asheville and began practicing at Asheville Internal Medicine alongside her father, Dr. Greg Glance. She has also served as the local medical director for Aledade, Inc.

Her clinical focus is preventative care and a holistic view of the patient — she works to understand someone's full health picture rather than treating isolated conditions one at a time.

Dr. Caldwell lives in Fairview with her husband Brett and their dog Wicket. She hikes, paddle boards, travels, and spends as much time as she can with her niece Nora.
