Meet the Provider Behind Foundation Wellness and Hormones
New patients meet with Sarah Ann Lanier, MSN, FNP-C to review symptoms, goals and health context before treatment recommendations are made.
Provider biography
Experienced, board-certified care with a strong clinical foundation.
Sarah Ann Lanier, MSN, FNP-C earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Samford University in 2012 and completed her Master of Science in Nursing at Samford University in 2015. Before becoming a nurse practitioner, she cared for patients as a cardiothoracic nurse at UAB Hospital, where she developed a strong clinical foundation caring for patients with complex needs.
She is board certified as a Family Nurse Practitioner through the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners. Since entering advanced practice, her experience has included neurology, orthopedics with an emphasis on spine surgery, and testosterone replacement therapy. That broad background allows her to bring both thoughtful clinical judgment and a patient-centered approach to every evaluation.
Sarah Ann is also a wife and mother of two, and that personal perspective shapes the way she cares for patients. She values clear communication, practical guidance, and building treatment plans that feel both supportive and realistic for everyday life.

Hormones and wellness
Clinical experience in testosterone replacement therapy alongside provider-led wellness and treatment evaluation.
Provider-led care first
Provider-led care before any treatment plan.
Patients deserve more than a templated wellness experience. At Foundation Wellness and Hormones, the provider visit is designed to review what has changed, what the patient is experiencing, what lab work shows and which next steps make sense. That process helps connect symptoms, eligibility, treatment options and follow-up into a plan that feels measured rather than generic.
Clinical approach
A care approach built around symptoms, labs and progress.
Good care should be personal, practical and grounded in real patient context. Symptoms matter, but symptoms alone are not enough. Labs matter, but lab values are not the whole picture. Progress matters, which is why follow-up remains part of the care process after treatment begins.
- Symptoms are reviewed in context
- Lab work helps guide decision-making
- Treatment recommendations are individualized
- Follow-up helps track response and appropriateness over time
What new patients can expect
New patient visits are designed to create clarity.
Focused evaluation
During the evaluation, patients can expect discussion around symptoms, goals, relevant health history and the type of care they are seeking.
Eligibility and fit
Depending on the situation, the visit may include lab review, eligibility discussion and whether treatment is appropriate.
Clear recommendations
The goal is to understand fit, explain options clearly and create a plan that matches the patient's real needs.
How recommendations are made
Treatment recommendations should make sense on paper and in practice.
Recommendations are made by looking at symptoms, patient goals, safety considerations, lab findings where appropriate and how progress will be monitored if care begins. A provider-led process helps patients understand not only what may help, but why a recommendation is being made.
Services
Areas of care.
Foundation Wellness and Hormones offers provider-led care in several core treatment areas.
Local care
Why patients in Alpharetta and Milton choose local provider-led care.
Patients in Alpharetta, Milton, Roswell and nearby communities often want care that feels more accountable than a national online funnel. A local clinic offers more continuity, clearer communication and a patient experience built around actual follow-up rather than transaction-first marketing.
