Get to know Internist Dr. Amanda Collins-Baine, who serves patients in Darien, Connecticut.

Recognized as a 2020 Top Doctor, Dr. Collins-Baine offers concierge medicine at her private practice – Darien Signature Health, Inc. – located in Darien, Connecticut. Her goal is to provide the highest quality medical care and service, emphasizing a proactive, comprehensive approach to both disease prevention and wellness.

“As a member of my concierge medicine practice, you’ll receive truly patient-focused and personalized healthcare. My practice size is smaller than a traditional practice which means we’ll have more quality time together—not only to treat complex issues but to focus on prevention and wellness” as stated by the doctor on her website. 

With over two decades of experience in her field, Dr. Collins-Baine cherishes the privilege of developing meaningful and supportive relationships with her patients. She offers longer, unhurried appointments, ensures personal and timely contact after hours, as well as includes direct access to her personal cell phone and email. Prior to launching Darien Signature Health, Inc., she was a primary care provider at the Internal Associates of Darien and Stamford Health Medical Group. 

After obtaining her Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree from Vanderbilt University in 1990 and her post-baccalaureate degree in pre-medicine from Columbia University in 1994, Dr. Collins-Baine went on to earn her medical degree from St. George’s University School of Medicine in 1998. This was followed by an internship at Hahnemann University Hospital in 1999 and a residency at Stamford Hospital in 2000, where she served as chief medical resident during her final year.  

Before long, she became board-certified in internal medicine by the American Board of Internal Medicine, a physician-led, non-profit, independent evaluation organization driven by doctors who want to achieve higher standards for better care in a rapidly changing world. 

At present, Dr. Collins-Baine can be found on staff at several hospitals in the local area, including Stamford Hospital, Norwalk Hospital, and Greenwich Hospital. She serves as both an advocate and adviser, and communicates regularly with others who may be involved in the patient’s care.

Internal medicine is the medical specialty dealing with the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of adult diseases. Physicians specializing in internal medicine are called internists. They manage and prevent common and complex diseases by providing comprehensive care and promoting overall well-being.
