What Members Are Saying

Dr Thompson was very instrumental in giving me back my life. He listened to my symptoms and how miserable I was in all ways. I could not eat and I was losing weight. My recovery started with an abdominal CT which showed a compression of the celiac artery. He then referred me to the best surgeons at MUSC. MALS was confirmed through an ultrasound and I was scheduled for surgery which was successful. Only days after surgery and the release of the constriction on the celiac artery all of my symptoms were relieved. I am very thankful that Dr Thompson was able to put this process into motion with the right doctors and I was able to get relief and return to a normal life. I suffered for 5 years with mals because this is very difficult to diagnose but Dr Thompson was on the right track with his thinking and from there I found my solution to living normal again. I am very grateful to Dr Thompson for his care and insight.

Dr. Thompson has been my doctor for roughly eighteen years. You do not stay with a doctor for that length unless you have trust and confidence in the care and recommendations you are receiving. I strongly believe that what is discussed in the office is confidential between you and your doctor.

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 R. Scott Thompson, MD

Dr Scott Thompson, Mt Pleasant, SC

from G in SC • March 11, 2020

I’m an elderly (that’s hard to write) male who became Dr Thompson’s patient about five years ago. Since then, I’ve learned for the first time how a genuinely professional MD approaches his responsibilities. Dr Thompson’s careful attention to my medical needs has more or less stabilized a troublesome hypertension situation—when others could not. He found a statin I could tolerate, when others had Read more...

For the past 16 years Scott has kept me healthy and enjoying my life to the full.

from david in SC • February 7, 2014

For the past 16 years Scott has kept me healthy and enjoying my life to the full. Fortunately, I have never had any serious illnesses, but his focus on preemptive care has, I am sure, placed me in a position of fine health that I perhaps may not enjoy without his consistent and professional monitoring. He is the epitome of a great primary care physician.

After my wife's lung surgery, she developed a chronic cough and severe lower back pains.

from David in SC • February 6, 2014

After my wife's lung surgery, she developed a chronic cough and severe lower back pains. During a scheduled appointment, my wife and I commented on the time Dr. Thompson spent with us and his attention to her situation. We were both very pleased! Mediations were discussed and MRI/X-Rays were scheduled. The following morning, my wife had additional problems develop, and without an Read more...

Dr, Thompson is a skilled diagnostician.

from James in SC • February 9, 2014

Dr, Thompson is a skilled diagnostician. After a misdiagnosis by a weekend Doc in the Box, I scheduled an appointment. He knew immediately what my problem was, scheduled more tests, and recommended a surgeon to work with me. I trust his judgment and follow his advice!

Since moving to Mt. :Pleasant we have both been patients of Dr. Scott Thompson.

from Robert in SC • February 9, 2014

Since moving to Mt. :Pleasant we have both been patients of Dr. Scott Thompson. In over ten years the level of attention and care to our health care needs he has provided has been extraordinary.
