Patients in the Lowcountry are now able to experience a more personalized and proactive model of primary care through MDVIP, guided by Dr. Laura Lee Kinney, MD. With a rich history of 26 years in local healthcare, Dr. Kinney is introducing a fresh approach that transcends traditional concierge medicine.
A Shift Toward Personalized Care
In today’s fast-paced world, securing timely appointments is often a struggle, and patients frequently find themselves lacking the comprehensive care they rightfully deserve.
