What Members Are Saying

When my doctor Dr. Karen Dantin, first, announced that she was going to join MDVIP, I asked my husband to come with me for the informational presentation. I did not disclose that I was going to have to pay extra for this service because I did not think he would approve the extra money out of our budget. He came, listened, and when the presentation was over the Dr. asked if anyone had any questions my husband raised his hand. I was squirming in my seat unsure of what he was going to say. I was truly amazed at what I heard. He said, “ I have been looking for this, my whole life! I am so tired of getting 10 minutes of my doctors time! He doesn’t even know what’s going on in my health, let alone my life! “ I am happy to say we BOTH signed up that night! It is not uncommon for me to get One Hour with my doctor. Even if I make the appointment that morning! She has everything I need in her office to assess my health and my needs. The test that she runs through MDVIP are truly amazing. Help her to pinpoint my issues and diagnose remedies! I feel truly blessed and grateful for her joining MDVIP.

Karen Dantin is a doctor who shows her emotional attachment to her patients. She takes her time and explains everything as well as giving the patient plenty of time to ask questions. She is on a first name basis with all of her patients and her staff is really friendly and caring. We love her. She is the best doc ever!

Anna

Patient of Karen C. Dantin, MD

I don’t have enough words to praise Dr Dantin as doctor and a human being. Coming from a foreign country and finding Dr Dantin as my primary doctor has been one of the best things that has happened to me in these 17 years living in Baton Rouge. Not only is she an efficient, studious and well versed professional but as a person she is warm and compassionate. She not only treats her patients as a doctor would but also is willing to develop a relationship with her patients. I can also say that she has helped members of my family in emergencies even if they are not regular patients. Finally, I also want to highlight her staff who are so relational and friendly as well as very professional. One can see the influence that spills over from Dr Dantin.

Meet Karen C. Dantin, MD

I have always wanted my patients to feel as if they are visiting family or friends; not as a stranger in a clinical setting. A comfortable environment encourages exploring options – your own, or suggestions offered. Part of my job is assisting patients to recognize that exceptional health is a journey – initiated by genetics. The ultimate path is determined by lifestyle choices and daily habits. I feel privileged to aid patients on their journey. Coaching those truly vested in improving or maintaining heath is what I love to do.

My Civilian and Navy medical training, in what I call "traditional Western medicine,” has provided a solid base on which to add and expand both holistic and Western knowledge. I strive for a balance between the two, while working within the conditions of patients’ desires and actions to “be all you can be.” I have learned that treating symptoms without addressing the underlying causes is not the way to true healing. Seeking and resolving root imbalances is the goal - the road to success.

My new MDVIP-affiliated practice model is an amazing venue for patients to experience treatment the way that they truly deserve. It brings back the “family physician” concept of Marcus Welby, a friend you can trust and confide in. Over the last 30 years, my practice has evolved to both empower and encourage patients. Combine that strength with time and personalization and add the benefits of cutting edge medicine technology, what could be better?

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 Karen C. Dantin, MD

Dr Dantin found and fixed what other doctors couldnt see

from Ann in LA • March 12, 2020

Dr. Dantin took me into the MDVIP program and actually listed to all my symptoms. After seeing that many symptoms fit medical issues other doctors said weren't issues, she tested more in depth. Because she was willing to look further and delve into problems that were harder to see, she has helped me repair my system so that I only take 1 prescription now and the amount has been lowered twice Read more...
