Meet Karen-Gail Brandse, MD


As an MDVIP-affiliated primary care physician, my main objective is to help you achieve a healthy, rewarding lifestyle. I have a limited practice in order to completely focus on wellness, prevention and early detection. As your internist, I will partner with you on a personal level by caring, listening, educating and advocating for you. I can be your private physician, healthcare partner and coach, helping you improve the overall quality of your life. My goal is to assist you in reaching your goals and enjoying the healthy life you deserve.

I am one of the few female physicians in the MetroWest area of Massachusetts providing this type of personalized healthcare. Similar to concierge medicine practices, I also offer conveniences like same- or next-day appointments that start on time. My internal medicine practice is located adjacent to MetroWest Medical Center and serves the communities of Natick, Dover, Sherborn, Framingham, Wayland, Sudbury and beyond. I invite you to come to my office and feel welcomed by the relaxing atmosphere and individualized attention offered by me and my staff during your visits. I am affiliated with MetroWest Medical Center, Braintree Rehabilitation Hospital and Northeast Specialty Hospital.

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.

Doc Star

from Tom in MA • March 20, 2024
I like Dr. Brandse but first I have to start with her office - beautiful art work, photography, comfortable couches. I feel like I'm at a cafe overseas somewhere having a cigarette (I don't smoke), glass of wine (I don't drink) and reading a magazine (I do read). Dr. Brandse has always made me feel comfortable over the years first with our casual conversation (she laughs at my jokes) and with all Read more...

A Personal Moment with My Doctor

from Elizabeth in MA • February 13, 2024
I started taking an injection to help with my bone loss and was really concerned about the long- and short-term side effects. I made an appointment with my doctor to discuss my concerns. She shared a personal story with me which helped me decide that the benefits of the medication will outweigh the risks, especially when I get older. If I don't start the medication now and then start 10 Read more...
