About Caroline

Caroline Riddle, MD, is a family medicine physician at Roaring Fork Family Practice. She comes to the Roaring Fork Valley from San Francisco, where she worked as a primary care physician at One Medical. She earned her medical doctorate from Albany Medical College in 2018, and completed her family medicine residency at the University of Hawaii in Aiea. While in Hawaii, she also supervised a homeless outreach clinic run by medical students, giving her an additional opportunity to practice the many facets of family medicine.

“I love the variety I see every day at work,” she says. “No two days are alike, and you need so many different skills to treat your patients properly. I also love the trust my patients put in me—we learn about their lives and health together, then make decisions to keep them moving forward. It’s a real cooperative relationship.”

Dr. Riddle’s husband is an orthopedic surgeon, and together they have two sons, ages 3 and four months. They enjoy all the outdoor activities the Roaring Fork Valley is famous for—skiing, skating, snowshoeing and all the rest. Dr. Riddle also enjoys long-distance running, having completed multiple marathons. “To me, the most important part of staying healthy is staying active, and I try to lead by example when I get on that soapbox,” she says. “Find something you like to do, and incorporate it into your life.”

She does have one hobby that takes place indoors, however. “Sourdough breadmaking is something I picked up in San Francisco,” she says. “In fact, I named my starter Doughlores, after Dolores Park, since that’s where I got it.”
