Frances Long, MD

Concierge Internist

Dr. Fran Long, born and raised in Unadilla, Georgia, earned her medical degree from Mercer University School of Medicine in Macon and completed her residency in internal medicine at Atlanta Medical Center. She has been a practicing internist within the Piedmont Healthcare system since 2006 and was a founding partner of Piedmont Internal Medicine in 2015. She is board certified in Internal Medicine and is a member of the American College of Physicians, the Medical Association of Georgia, and the Menopause Society. She has been named to Atlanta Magazine’s peer-selected “Top Doctors” list for several consecutive years.

Dr. Long’s clinical interests include individualized cardiovascular risk management and strategic, healthy aging — including musculoskeletal and brain health as well as sleep, weight, and stress management. Perimenopause and menopause care — an often-overlooked area of women’s health — is an area of particular interest and dedicated study for Dr. Long. For many patients, the focused and personalized approach that Dr. Long can provide during the menopause transition is a leading reason they join her practice.

Dr. Long shares with her patients a common goal: optimizing their overall quality of life through every decade. She strives to give patients the time they need to discuss every aspect of their health in a compassionate, collaborative environment. Practicing within a concierge medicine model allows her to truly know her patients, build lasting and trusting relationships, and deliver an elevated, attentive level of care.

Dr. Long lives in Sandy Springs with her husband and two sons. Outside the office, she enjoys traveling, boating, reading, and cheering on her boys at their sports games.
