How and why we do what we do
Honesty can be uncomfortable, but it’s through the acknowledgment of complex information and unguarded feelings that real care happens. We see honesty as a gift, one that challenges us to be authentic and always kind. That way, you get the care you deserve.
We believe deeply in the power of gratitude and joy. Our mission is to help you set your health on a positive trajectory. While our eyes are wide open to the pressing challenges the healthcare system faces, we focus on opportunities and solutions to help you stay in control of your health journey.
Unlike traditional healthcare, we are built for the chaos of real life. We provide excellent care and bring the appropriate sense of gravity when needed, but we also know that bodies are pretty weird, unusual, and surprising, and we think that’s wonderful. With a healthy dose of curiosity, there’s no topic off limits—just a genuine desire to support you no matter what you’re going through.
Dr. Levine is a fellowship-trained and board-certified Adolescent Medicine specialist. As Caraway’s Medical Director of Young Adult Medicine, she’s on a mission to make healthcare feel less awkward and complicated. Prior to Caraway, she was in private practice caring for adolescents, college students, and young adults, with a particular emphasis on treating eating disorders. With Gen Z kids of her own, she gets how hard it can be to manage your own healthcare for the first time, and (especially if you’re generally healthy!) it can be hard to find the care you want or need in an accessible way.

Dr. Baggeroer is a board-certified psychiatrist and Caraway’s Chief Health Officer. She’s always believed that the mind and body are connected, and has spent her medical career working to create a health care system that integrates physical and mental health. Her second passion is women’s mental health and specializes in caring for women across their lifespan with a focus on how development changes and hormones impact health. She helped found Caraway as she loves working with Gen Z aged patients and helping them develop the skills they need to guarantee the most healthy futures they can have for themselves.
Dr. Birenbaum is a board-certified OB/GYN and Caraway's Director of Women's Health. She went to medical school with the drive to help young women understand how their bodies worked, get comfortable in them and develop the skill to advocate for themselves. She has a passion for reproductive rights and wants everyone to have access to contraceptive counseling and to be a trusted source for the truth around women's health. She too has Gen Z kids of her own and has an open door policy on all things related to sexual wellbeing. Her hope in joining Caraway was to team up with a motivated group of people looking to change the way we all experience healthcare.
