Meet George Chaconas, MD, FNLA
My goal as your personal physician is to provide you with the most up-to-date information and treatment to enhance your life and preserve your health. While treating disease is a necessity, I think we would all like to prevent disease and that is what I pride myself in doing. In partnering with MDVIP, I am now able to create individualized wellness plans that will help you achieve your health goals in an unhurried environment. My MDVIP-affiliated practice also offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices.
As a board certified family medicine physician, with over 25 years of experience, I have spent my entire career concentrating on all aspects of health. As an extension of my commitment to preventive health, I also became one of only 21 doctors in Virginia to be board certified in Clinical Lipidology. My regional referral center, the Center for Advanced Lipid Management in Roanoke, helps many patients in southwest Virginia and I bring the same heart attack prevention expertise to my primary care practice at Smith Mountain Lake. I treat my patients as I would want to be treated, always going the extra mile to explain things in an easy to understand, friendly and non-confrontational manner. I love what I do.
On a personal note, I have other passions, which are spending time with my wife, kids and dog. My hobbies include golf and playing guitar.

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.

Best doctor ever
from Pamela in VA • January 19, 2024
My doctor, Dr. George Chaconas is wonderful! He is always available and I sometimes feel selfish and guilty at how readily available he is!!! Weekends, nights you name the time and within an hour he's calling or texting back!!! He has kept us away from urgent care and the hospital several times....even phoned in meds for me while we were on vacation....love this program and Dr. Chaconas!!
Did Not dismiss my fatigue
from Karin in VA • January 18, 2024
I was 65 years young. I’m an active tennis and pickleball player. I started to feel very fatigued, and out of breath climbing stairs. My VIP Dr did not dismiss my concerns. He dug in doing blood tests, for Lyme and Mono, etc. It turned out I had Mono at 65 ! I was so relieved that I had an answer to what was causing my fatigue. I’m sure my previous Dr would have brushed off my complaints Read more...
