Carmen Teague, MD

“I love people. I love serving people. I love helping people. I get up every morning excited to come to work to see what opportunities I may have to bring hope and healing to patients and their families.”

Dr. Teague is an internal medicine doctor with a special interest in women’s health, diabetes, high blood pressure and preventive medicine. She is the director of internal medicine at Atrium Health Primary Care Mecklenburg Medical Group Uptown. She is board certified in internal medicine.

Dr. Teague felt called to become a doctor after falling in love with medicine while working as a counselor in a state hospital for the criminally insane. She loves the way internal medicine allows her to put together many pieces of data to figure out what’s happening and how to promote healing.

In her free time, Dr. Teague loves to spend time with her husband, who is her high school sweetheart, and their 4 children.
