About

Dr. Carol Scott.

Dr. Carol Scott has spent twenty years as a practicing physician, wellness coach and patient advocate. She works with leaders who carry a great deal, and she helps them keep their health while they do it.

She is a board-certified emergency and internal medicine physician, trained at Duke and Johns Hopkins. She is also a Wellcoaches®-certified Health and Wellness Coach.

What clients remember is not the degree list. It is the bedside manner. She is warm and unhurried in the room, the kind of doctor who will tell you the truth and then help you carry it.

Dr. Carol Scott

A physician’s philosophy

The coach is not
the expert on you.
You are.

Expert-mode medicine has its place. Dr. Scott is happy to practice it — she was trained for it. But coaching is something different. Coaching is the practice of helping you become the expert on your own biology, your own priorities, your own risks, your own life.

Her programs are grounded in the science of neuroplasticity, behavior change and lifestyle medicine. They are not grounded in gym memberships and the occasional salad. She is a catalyst. Client-originated visions and plans are the ones that stick.

“Her character and strong commitment to helping others is demonstrated from the moment she enters the room. Her competency — both from a medical perspective and from her experience coaching women executives — shines through her presentations.”
