What Members Are Saying

Dr. Erin Lavin, When I first became a patient at Mid Atlantic, I was under the care of Dr. Catherine Deluca. I was disheartened when I learned she would leave, as I had established a good rapport with her. The prospect of finding a new doctor was daunting. However, upon meeting Dr. Erin Lavin, my apprehension dissolved. From our initial interaction, I sensed a strong connection with her. Dr. Lavin consistently demonstrated patience and took the time to address my concerns, which made me feel at ease. Her genuine care for me extended beyond the scope of a typical patient-doctor relationship. When I learned that Dr. Lavin was changing to MDVIP (Medical Doctor Value in Prevention), I felt overwhelmed again, concerned about the financial aspect of continuing my healthcare with Dr. Lavin, whom I intensely relied on. After carefully considering the new program's benefits, I decided to move forward, trusting that I could manage the associated costs through faith and determination. I'm incredibly grateful that I chose to remain under the care of Dr. Lavin, whose exceptional medical expertise, attention to detail, and unwavering support have profoundly impacted my overall well-being. Dr. Lavin and the dedicated staff have consistently been available, providing care and assistance regardless of the time of day, and this has indeed been a source of immense comfort and support in my life. I want to express my deepest gratitude to Dr. Lavin for being an outstanding physician who prioritizes my well-being and demonstrates genuine care for all her patients. Thank you for your exceptional dedication and compassionate care.

Dr. Erin O. Lavin The quality of a relationship can best be measured by the quality of communication between two people. Yet quality communication is rarer than most would believe: it requires the conscientious development of skills and a secure, empathetic personality that listens with skill, speaks with skill and conveys a measure of trust to enable each party to feel safe. Telling is not talking, and certainly it is not, in itself communication. Dr. Erin O. Lavin believes that emotional, physical and mental fitness go hand-in-hand. To be successful in her diagnoses and treatments of patients she is exceptionally skilled at communicating, not to her patients but skillfully with them. This is not an anomaly or “one time” or thing. As a patient I have come to expect it and to depend on it at every meeting. From this grows trust, quality in our relationship and the highest level of patient/doctor communication possible. Whether in her office or casually on a street I am always greeted with a smile and expressions of joy at our meeting. She has a beautiful smile which never fades, sometimes a girlish giggle that reveals an inner happiness, and an air of equality that emanates respect for all, whatever their station. There is absolutely no trace of academic or professional arrogance here. One is always left with the feeling that “we” communicated, and that feeling reveals the quality of relationship Dr. Lavin has with her patients, her colleagues and her staff. Dr. Lavin cares about me as well as for me, and I feel it at all times.

Patient of Erin E. Lavin, DO

My husband was hospitalized for 21 days with complications from a ruptured appendix. Not only did Dr. Lavin stay in constant contact with the surgeon, providing us with the needed translation on the steps to his recovery, she called me personally every night to see how I was doing and to make sure I was doing ok. Her clear communication, knowledge, compassion and warmth makes her an exceptional physician and tops in her field.

Meet Erin E. Lavin, DO

The power of the patient‐physician relationship cannot be underestimated in one’s healthcare. I hold this fundamental responsibility as paramount in my practice of family medicine. This philosophy is deeply rooted and comes from emulating my grandfather who practiced small town family medicine in rural Pennsylvania. It is ingrained in me that the health of the individual affects the health of our families, and ultimately the health of our community. The beauty and closeness of this Southern Delaware coastal community is what inspired my husband and I to change the course of our young family’s lives and relocate here in 2016, after I practiced at a hospital‐based family medicine group for 9 years in the Reading, Pennsylvania area. My life experiences, not only in the role of physician, but also as mother, wife, daughter, sister and friend, make me sensitive to the many complexities and responsibilities that can affect our overall health.

I view my patients as family, and my goal for your health is to focus on you as a “whole” – mind, body and spirit. I strive to focus on prevention and wellness. I emphasize the importance of diet and lifestyle choices, and how they influence our health and our ability to impact disease prevention. I also work diligently to diagnose and manage both acute and chronic conditions. As an MDVIP‐affiliated physician, I can take the time and energy necessary to develop a personalized care plan to maximize health outcomes for each patient I serve. My goal is to empower you and lead you to be the happiest and healthiest version of yourself.

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.

from Irene in DE • January 26, 2024

I was a patient of Dr. Lavin prior to her going to MDVIP. When she changed, it was a no brainer to sign up to stay under her care.
