Meet Susan Richarme, MD


I affiliated with MDVP in 2012, opening my family medicine practice in a conveniently located medical office building here in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Today, I am able to offer medical care for my patients like they are members of my family. I take the time necessary to help patients understand their illnesses and provide an ongoing plan of care. My physician-patient relationships are based on a foundation of open communication, individual respect and trust. 

The focus of my primary care practice at Choice Medical Care, is to provide individualized care and, if possible, maintain or improve my patients' health. My MDVIP-affiliated practice offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices. The MDVIP model allows me the flexibility to continue to interact and personalize medical therapies for each patient in a unique and innovative manner. I enjoy treating both families and individuals, offering a specialty in geriatric care. 

My hospital affiliates include Baton Rouge General Medical Center, Our Lady of the Lake Medical Center and Woman's Hospital, serving patients from East Baton Rouge Parish and beyond.

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.

Feeling bad in DC

I flew to DC to a family wedding. My flight was hot. The weather in DC was hot. Our hotel was lovely, but hot. I did alot of sweating. When it came time for the wedding , i was in high heel and a long sleeve dress. No place to sit down in those heels. The room started spinning. The feet and legs started shaking. I knew if i didn't quietly remove my self from the room , i would have passed out. I Read more...

I was diagnosed with cancer as the result of an emergency hospital admission

from Karen in LA • February 5, 2014
I was diagnosed with cancer as the result of an emergency hospital admission, and bombarded with unfamiliar on-call doctors and their recommendations for what to do and who to see. There is such a sense of urgency when you have a cancer diagnosis - you want to move on it NOW. But I decided to step back, take a breath. and sit down with Dr. Susan Richarme to discuss my options. Who better? She Read more...


We have been with Dr. Richarme for many years and moved with her when she left Hill Clinic to go into her MDVIP practice.

from Rosemary in LA • February 5, 2014
We have been with Dr. Richarme for many years and moved with her when she left Hill Clinic to go into her MDVIP practice. She takes good care of us. On one occasion she came to our home (we thought house calls were a thing of the past). And last year she came to her office the day after July 4th, when the office was closed, to take care of an injury from an accident.
We love Dr. Read more...
