Dr. Behnaz Atree has been a practicing Primary Care physician in Raleigh, NC, for over 20 years. In practicing Internal Medicine, Dr. Atree has found the most satisfaction from spending time with her patients, understanding their needs, and empowering them to take charge of their health. She has always been fascinated by the connections between lifestyle, wellness and the root causes of chronic diseases, which led her to explore the lifestyle medicine field further. Dr. Atree has become certified in Lifestyle Medicine in 2022 as well as Health and Wellness Coaching in 2023. She is excited to integrate her experience in Internal Medicine with her training in Lifestyle Medicine and Health Coaching to provide evidence-based, therapeutic lifestyle interventions through Carolina Lifestyle Medicine.
Dr Atree’s passion for studying the underlying causes of disease started as a student at University of California, Los Angeles where she earned her Bachelor’s degree in Biochemistry. She went on to complete medical school at Drexel University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and her Internal Medicine internship and residency at UMass Memorial Medical Center in Worcester, Massachusetts. She then moved to Raleigh, North Carolina, where she started North Wake Internal Medicine with her husband and served as Vice President for over seven years.
Dr. Atree is an active member of the American College of Physicians (ACP), North Carolina Medical Society (NCMS), American College of Lifestyle Medicine (ACLM), American Medical Women’s Association (AMWA), and the National Board for Health & Wellness Coaching (NBHWC).
Outside of her professional life, Dr. Atree enjoys spending time with her husband and their two children. In her spare time, she loves trying new recipes, playing tennis, and tending to her garden.

I had been having digestive issues for 3 years and no doctor could figure it out. Dr Atree set about restarting my digestive system. She had me eat a small particle diet that helped relieve my digestive system and she slowly introduced added foods into my diet. Her instructions were clear and easy to follow. She worked with my PCP to find the solution to my problems. I have slow gastric emptying and slow motility which causes uncomfortable symptoms to occur. Chronic constipation has been a problem for me for 25 years.
I can't believe how much better I am and continue to learn what and how to eat to help me know what to do to help myself now. It has been a gradual process, and at times, I have been impatient. But. I am recovering well in a relatively short time. Just a few months with Dr Atree with filling out daily journals and her constant availability has given me my life back. I will forever be grateful for her. She is also a very dedicated and nice person to work with toward improving my health. Thank you, Dr Atree!
