What Members Are Saying

I cut the tips off two of my fingers and Dr Johnsen took me in immediately when I walked into the office. Being still in somewhat of a shocking state, he and his staff calmed me enough to drive to the emergency room. Of course he asked if I wanted an ambulance, but after he treated me at his office and calmed down, I was okay to drive. I then recieved a call the next day to see how I was doing . I had follow up appointments about every three days for 10 days, then when all was well and I could change my dressing on my own, I saw him every 2 weeks after. For a month. It’s been four months now and my fingertips have healed thanks to Dr. Johnsen and his staff. Thank you for letting me share this story.

Patient of Samuel E. W. Johnsen, MD

Dr. Johnsen is, quite simply, the best doctor I have ever had, and I have had some good ones. His knowledge of his field is extraordinarily impressive; it runs both broad and deep. His explanation of medical issues is likewise clear, concise and readily understandable. He is, flat out, a superb physician. I couldn't be happier with my care.

John

Patient of Samuel E. W. Johnsen, MD

I have not been with MDVIP long, but whether through the pandemic or through the Lahaina fire that destroyed his office and equipment and forced him to seek alternative temporary space for his practice, Dr. Johnsen was always available. But what I appreciate the most is that Dr. Johnsen listens carefully, spends the time needed to understand my situation and needs, and then takes the most prudent approach rather than jumping to aggressive treatments. His remedies are sometimes ones I've never heard before but make sense for a layman to grasp, This is refreshing and unusual. I think of him as a wise old country doctor, and look forward to his expertise in the coming years.

Meet Samuel E. W. Johnsen, MD

As a primary care physician affiliated with MDVIP, my practice of medicine has shifted back to a more personalized model where the main focus is your healthcare needs and goals, with a strong emphasis on prevention and overall wellness. The MDVIP model of care creates a more relaxed atmosphere allowing us the time to explore your medical history in depth and together we can formulate a detailed action plan to help you move towards your personal healthcare goals. I also offer conveniences, like same- or next-day appointments that start on time, which may be found in concierge medicine practices.

I am pleased to bring over 25 years of experience practicing internal medicine to my MDVIP-affiliated primary care practice located at Laule'a Health Center in Lahaina, Maui. Promoting healthier lives through personalized medicine.

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 Samuel E. W. Johnsen, MD

Thanks to Dr. Samuel Johnsen

from Katherine in HI • October 9, 2023

In July 2022 I was diagnosed with Stenosis in the L4 and 5 region that caused extreme pain daily. While in WA at the time and I was only allowed to take a lesser pain killer known as Gabapentin then there was physical therapy. The gabapentin was not that helpful with the pain but the physical therapy helped to reduce much of the pain making it bearable for me to tolerate. However it required me Read more...
