Caroline M. Colin M.D., M.S., F.A.C.O.G.

Greetings and welcome to my practice! My name is Caroline Colin. I am a board-certified obstetrician/gynecologist dedicated to providing personalized care to my patients and their families. For over two decades I have used a complimentary approach to incorporate the latest evidence-based medicine with alternative modalities to promote the health and well-being of my patients.

My journey in providing care began with a background with a Bachelors in Psychology. During a Psychoneuroimmunology course I recognized the power of the mind-body connection and was compelled to pursue the medical field. During my training at Georgetown I received a Master's Degree in Physiology and Biophysics and a Doctor of Medicine degree. During my time there I founded a Complimentary Medicine Club that established a lecture series that continues to this day. Many of the lecturers went on to become part of the core curriculum in the medical classes, for example the acupuncture lecture is now a requirement in the anatomy curriculum. 

During my third year of medical school, I came to California to follow world renowned Dr Khalil Tabsh for a rotation in Maternal Fetal Medicine and experience UCLA. After my time there it became my first choice for residency and I was fortunate to be theirs as well! I completed my residency in obstetrics and gynecology at UCLA in 2006. After a brief stint on the faculty of George Washington University in Washington DC, I returned to Los Angeles to establish my solo private practice in 2010. 

At the heart of my practice philosophy lies the belief in fostering active patient involvement and maintaining open communication. I aim to empower my patients to take charge of their health through self-awareness and preventive measures, in conjunction with traditional medical care. Whether addressing maternal-fetal health, performing minimally invasive surgery, or incorporating holistic medicine, I aim to deliver comprehensive care tailored to the unique needs of each patient.

In addition to traditional obstetrics and gynecology services, I am passionate about wellness and patients living their best lives. I believe in helping my patients feel like the best version of themselves, both inside and out. Whether it's improving your daily nutrition and movement habits, rejuvenating treatments, skin care or supplement regimens, my goal is to enhance your natural beauty and boost your confidence.

Beyond medicine, I find joy in spending time with my three children - Patrick, Charlotte, and Finn. I enjoy being productive whether I am making a meal or planting in the garden. I love to travel when my schedule permits. I enjoy meditation and prioritize staying strong by strength training a few times per week. It is my esteemed privilege to be a special part of my patient’s lives. I hold you all near and dear to my heart. It is truly a blessing for me to be able to do what I do and have you all in my life.

Thank you for considering me as your partner in health and wellness.

2026 marks Dr. Colin’s 23rd year in practice and 16th year as a solo private practice OB/GYN! It has been such an honor for her to take care of you and your families. She is truly proud of her rapidly growing practice and ability to thrive as a solo private Obstetrician/Gynecologist through all the changes in medicine. Throughout the years, many private OB/GYN practices have closed their doors, others have stopped practicing obstetrics altogether, and a great majority of her colleagues have been forced to join group practices managed by large hospital corporations. However, patients in group or hospital-owned practices are seen by mid-level providers such as physician assistants or nurse practitioners or are put in a rotating assembly line with multiple doctors for quick, impersonal check-ups. Patients feel more like a number than a person, as they are given minimal personal attention and are not given direct access to their physician outside of their appointment.

Despite the difficulties in solo private practice of being both a physician and a business owner, Dr. Colin does not wish to compromise or limit her practice by dropping insurance completely, as many of her colleagues have, as her availability to you would greatly diminish. However, in order to maintain the concierge-style care she provides, change is necessary. 

Dr Colin has a more comprehensive approach to practice and her patients are part of a community who all share a genuine commitment to their health and wellbeing. Because of this individualized care planning and proactive approach you will undoubtedly find ever evolving health goals that Dr Colin will help you achieve. Being part of this health community has so many benefits that I am happy to expand on if you’d like to discuss further.

  • We accept most major PPO insurance plans (Blue Cross, Blue Shield, Anthem, Aetna, Cigna, etc.)

    Start by calling your insurance to find out if Colin Wellness is in your insurance plan’s network, please call the phone number on the back of your insurance card and provide them with Dr. Caroline M. Colin. If you seek care outside of your plan’s contract terms, you will be responsible for any charges incurred.

    You can also ask your insurance company about your out-of-network benefits and allowed amount! When you get care from an out-of-network provider, you pay the entire cost of the visit upfront. Then, you file a claim with your insurance company and they reimburse you for some of the money you spent. Filing a claim means filling out paperwork about the care received and sending it to the insurance company, usually by mail. We will give you a document called a superbill to include with your claim. A superbill shows the company exactly what kind of care you received.

  • YES, of course! You can call our office for our self-pay prices! (310) 829-0080.

    Self-pay refers to a patient that pays their bill directly rather than going through a private insurance company. Full payment must be made in advance of receiving services.
