Meet Me
Hello! My name is Caroline Engel and I am a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine with over 10 years of experience in family medicine emphasizing preventative medicine and lifestyle changes by focusing in functional medicine. I am a compassionate healthcare professional dedicated to providing personalized care to each and every patient. Regarding my training background, I am board certified by the American Board of Family Medicine, and am in the process of completing the IFMCP program through the Institute for Functional Medicine. I completed my allopathic residency with the Family Medicine Residency Program at Natividad Medical Center in Salinas, CA. I received my Osteopathic Medical Degree from Touro University College of Osteopathic Medicine-CA in Vallejo, CA. I graduated with a B.S. in Marine Biology and B.A. in Art from the University of California, Santa Cruz, CA. I am dedicated to helping my patients lead healthier lives through preventative care and lifestyle changes, with a foundation in the osteopathic philosophy; the body is a whole unit, each person is a union of body, mind and spirit, the body is capable of self-healing and health maintenance, and structure and function are reciprocally interrelated. As a result of my extensive experience in primary care, I am an ideal practitioner to provide preventative and lifestyle change recommendations with the ability to work together with other primary care physicians and medical specialists to integrate safe and up to date medical recommendations based on peer reviewed scientific evidence in the medical field.
