Dr. Sara Hammond,DO
Physician-Founder, Clinical Trial Physician, Advisor & Healthcare Executive.
About
I went into medicine for the simplest reason: I care deeply about people and wanted to spend my life helping them feel whole, heard, and supported. But like so many dedicated physicians working inside conventional healthcare, I quickly realized how hard it is to give people the time and warmth they deserve inside a system built for speed.
My path began with osteopathic medical training—which taught me to see the whole person, mind and body—followed by board certification in Internal Medicine and years of clinical practice. Along the way, I also completed a master's degree with a focus in neuroscience, deepening my understanding of neuroplasticity and the brain's remarkable capacity to adapt, heal, and change across a lifetime.
I built Aure Health to create a space where we don't have to rush. Licensed in all 50 states, it is an executive concierge practice centered on listening, root-cause metabolic health, longevity, and true partnership.
Liora HQ grew out of that same desire to help: providing gentle operational and compliance support to fellow medical founders and aesthetic practitioners who want to build thoughtful practices without feeling overwhelmed by paperwork.
Alongside direct patient care, I offer physician-led regenerative care rooted in biostimulation and natural restoration, advise digital health teams on human-centered care models, and contribute clinical expertise to clinical trial research. My focus sits at the intersection of cellular medicine, longevity science, and systems innovation— translating emerging science into responsible, patient-centered clinical practice.
Clinical trials, telemedicine, compliance & executive leadership
Alongside patient care, I work with sponsors, CROs, research sites, and health companies across the United States. My clinical trial, telemedicine, compliance, and executive experience is remote-friendly and not limited to Georgia — I partner with teams and recruiters nationwide.
01
Roughly a decade across the clinical trial and drug development landscape, including Principal Investigator and Sub-Investigator roles in industry-sponsored Phase I–IV studies spanning metabolic disease, neurology, gastroenterology, dermatology, immunology, obesity medicine, psychology, and pulmonary medicine.
02
Medical monitoring, safety and eligibility review, protocol feasibility, regulatory affairs, and clinical compliance across traditional and decentralized trial models — the physician layer that keeps a protocol clinically sound while it runs.
03
Executive medical leadership as Chief Medical Officer, VP of Clinical Affairs, and Medical Director, plus advisory work for digital health, telehealth, and health-tech companies on clinical operations, clinical strategy, and care model design.
04
I founded and lead Aure Health as a telemedicine-first practice, seeing patients virtually with an in-person clinic in Alpharetta, GA. That day-to-day virtual practice is what informs my advisory work on telehealth care models, virtual visit workflows, and what actually holds up clinically at a distance.
05
Through Liora HQ I build compliance and operating infrastructure for digital health, regenerative, and aesthetic practices — all-50-state medical licensure strategy, scope of practice and delegation, and CPOM / MSO-PC structuring. I bring the medical and clinical-operations perspective alongside a company's legal counsel.
Open to fractional, advisory, medical leadership, and board engagements nationwide. Recruiters and companies can reach me through the clinical trials or advisory forms on the contact page.
Philosophy
Care grounded in humility, deep listening, and genuine human connection.
01
Medicine is a journey we take together. Clinical guidelines give us a helpful foundation, but when answers aren't clear, I believe in being open and honest with you. True care means listening to your story, respecting your experience, and navigating health decisions as partners.
02
Being truly known by your physician is where healing begins. Understanding your daily life, your goals, and your subtle baseline changes allows us to catch health signals early. Continuity isn't a luxury—it's how we care for each other well.
03
Conventional insurance-based medicine is primarily designed for crisis care—where visit lengths are strictly limited and treatment pathways are often restricted to standardized, one-size-fits-all guidelines and covered prescriptions. Because busy clinicians rarely have the time to deeply learn your personal story, care becomes reactive rather than preventative. We believe the most powerful window to support your health is long before a crisis occurs. By taking the time to understand your unique biology, we focus on risk-stratifying your health and guiding you toward natural health optimization first—using targeted therapeutic interventions when truly needed, rather than relying solely on medication as a quick rescue.
04
True health optimization is deeply personal. By operating outside traditional insurance constraints, we remove administrative barriers and reclaim what medicine was always meant to be: a direct, continuous relationship between you and your physician. Because we work directly for our patients, we have established strategic relationships with leading diagnostic laboratories, specialized health partners, and pharmaceutical providers—allowing us to pass preferred, transparent pricing directly to you. When your health journey requires advanced expertise, we coordinate access to a curated network of trusted sub-specialists. Rather than sending you into a fragmented medical system to repeat your history from scratch, your care remains under one roof—overseen by a physician who knows your whole story, integrates every recommendation, and acts as your dedicated advocate every step of the way.
