Meet W. Douglas Gentry, MD


I believe that practicing good medicine includes a personalized partnership between doctor and patient. As an MDVIP-affiliated primary care physician, I have more time to develop close relationships with my patients, perform more comprehensive exams and better address current health problems while also helping to better prevent new ones. As your personal doctor, I can work with you to formulate a wellness plan that will help you pursue optimal health. My family practice provides more individualized care that can help make a happier, healthier future your reality. My MDVIP-affiliated practice, often compared to a concierge medicine practice, also offers conveniences like same- or next-day appointments.

Having practiced in this community for more than 40 years, I have relationships with many specialists to whom I can refer should the need arise. I refer to all medical centers, honoring patient preference. We draw patients from Central, Clemson, Pendleton, Salem, Seneca, Walhalla, Westminster and beyond.

Frequently Asked Questions

Doctors who operate in the MDVIP models typically see far fewer patients than traditional primary care doctors. That gives them more time to develop deeper doctor-patient relationships that can lead to better outcomes. They can also offer conveniences that most primary care doctors can’t, including same- and next-day appointments. They’re available after hours for urgent matters. And they have time to focus on prevention. That focus begins with the MDVIP Wellness Program, which patients pay for with their annual membership fee.

Most MDVIP-affiliated primary care practices accept insurance (your physician can tell you whether they accept your specific insurance plan). Your annual fee pays for preventive care medical services that insurance usually doesn’t cover (e.g., advanced diagnostic testing and screenings). Your MDVIP-affiliated physician will continue to bill your insurance and charge copays, co-insurances and deductibles as he or she currently does for other medical services like sick visits.

MDVIP makes wellness and prevention easier by providing your physician with innovative tools and technology. MDVIP supports your physician’s practice and seeks to eliminate barriers to a positive healthcare experience. Your doctor will determine whether and how to incorporate these tools at his/her discretion.

Testimonials from patients of W. Douglas Gentry, MD

Switching Doctors

from Robin in SC • March 14, 2024
We switched to Dr. Gentry and we were so impressed even that first day!! Since then he is so attentive and knowledgeable!! He has lowered dosages based on test results. I was concerned about taking Boniva for so long (over 6 years) he immediately got me on the road to start Prolia. Dr. Gentry takes a lot of time to explain results, even to the point of drawing a diagram of the situation which I Read more...

Thank you, Dr. W. Douglas Gentry for recognizing my pancreatic cancer and arranging excellent specialized care, hopefully giving me many more years.

from David in SC • March 10, 2024
Thank You, Dr. Gentry! Today is my birthday, my 84th. It’s an especially happy occasion because just before my 83rd, I found that reaching 84 was no sure thing. A year ago you diagnosed a bile blockage possibly due to a tumor on my pancreas. I realized my expiration date likely had moved up considerably. You quickly arranged ultrasound and CT scans and a consultation with the surgical oncologist Read more...

I have been a regular patient of Dr Doug Gentry for many years, since soon after he established his practice. Throughout that time, he has regularly helped identify areas of potential concern and recommended adjustments in my diet, exercise, medications, etc., and directed me to top quality specialists when necessary. In 2009, he noted a small but concerning elevation in my PSA and sent me to an Read more...

Life long journey.

from Walt in SC • March 10, 2024
Dr. Gentry has been my doctor for 32 years. I'm sorry I cannot recall a "moment". Rather it has been a life-long journey, filled with moments, each as good as the rest. I hope he and I are around for many more moments. He's the best doctor, hands down.

the best doctor I've ever had

from Carol in SC • February 21, 2024
I have been treated by Dr. W.D. Gentry for over 30 years and I have never had a better caring, compassionate, doctor in my over ninety years. He never makes me feel he's rushing during my appointments; always listening, asking questions that help me explain my medical problems. I always feel he's my part-time psychologist and I can discuss anything with him. I have the utmost trust in Read more...
