Dr. Lavin

Meet Erin E. Lavin, DO


The power of the patient‐physician relationship cannot be underestimated in one’s healthcare. I hold this fundamental responsibility as paramount in my practice of family medicine. This philosophy is deeply rooted and comes from emulating my grandfather who practiced small town family medicine in rural Pennsylvania. It is ingrained in me that the health of the individual affects the health of our families, and ultimately the health of our community. The beauty and closeness of this Southern Delaware coastal community is what inspired my husband and I to change the course of our young family’s lives and relocate here in 2016, after I practiced at a hospital‐based family medicine group for 9 years in the Reading, Pennsylvania area. My life experiences, not only in the role of physician, but also as mother, wife, daughter, sister and friend, make me sensitive to the many complexities and responsibilities that can affect our overall health.

I view my patients as family, and my goal for your health is to focus on you as a “whole” – mind, body and spirit. I strive to focus on prevention and wellness. I emphasize the importance of diet and lifestyle choices, and how they influence our health and our ability to impact disease prevention. I also work diligently to diagnose and manage both acute and chronic conditions. As an MDVIP‐affiliated physician, I can take the time and energy necessary to develop a personalized care plan to maximize health outcomes for each patient I serve. My goal is to empower you and lead you to be the happiest and healthiest version of yourself.

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.

I can’t say enough great things about Erin Lavin. She’s THE BEST!!! She is always professional and friendly, very approachable, thorough and very efficient. I feel like I can contact her at anytime and she is right on top of things. I feel like she truly cares about me, as a person, and not just a patient. She cares about my overall health and total well being. I live in an area where good healthcare is hard to come by, so I feel so lucky to have Erin Lavin as my Physician.

Our experience with Dr. Lavin was such that we joined the MDVIP program at a considerable expense. As retirees this was a big decision but our faith in her medical knowledge and her interpersonal skills was the deciding factor. Two of our friends also recently became patients with her after meeting and reviewing their medical history.
Dr Lavin identified a serious medical issue during my examination that I was not aware of and I would not be writing this review today if she had not identified it.

I am very fortunate that I am able to afford to stay a patient of Dr. Lavin through MDVIP. I was recently ill and had to be admitted to the hospital for a three day stay. If it had not been for Dr. Lavin, I don't believe I would have faired as well as I did. She was in constant contact with me and ensured that I was following the recommendations and approach to healing that she made.

### Review of Lindsey Pavlikowski, Physician Assistant
I recently had the pleasure of being treated by Lindsey Pavlikowski, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. From the moment I walked into the clinic, Lindsey's professionalism and warmth immediately put me at ease.
**Expertise and Accuracy**: Lindsey's knowledge and expertise as a physician assistant are truly impressive. She took the time to thoroughly assess my situation, listen to my concerns, and provide accurate diagnoses. Her attention to detail ensured that all aspects of my health were addressed, and I felt confident in her recommendations.
**Smart and Solution-Oriented**: Lindsey approaches patient care with both intelligence and practicality. She explained complex medical terms in a way that was easy to understand, empowering me to take an active role in my treatment plan. Her solutions were not only effective but also tailored to my specific needs.
**Excellent Bedside Manner**: One of the standout qualities that Lindsey possesses is her remarkable bedside manner. She genuinely cares about her patients and takes the time to ensure that I felt heard and valued. Her compassionate approach made a significant difference in my overall experience.
In a healthcare environment where stress can often overshadow patient interactions, Lindsey Pavlikowski brings a refreshingly positive demeanor. She exemplifies what it means to be not just a healthcare provider, but a true patient advocate. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, dedicated, and approachable physician assistant, I wholeheartedly recommend Lindsey. You won't be disappointed!
Thank you, Lindsey, for your outstanding care!

I am, for the time being, a patient of Dr. Daryl Sharman. I have been a patient of Dr. Sharman’s since he joined Mid-Atlantic Family Practice. With each continued visit, I become more perturbed at the amount of time it takes to see him for a scheduled appointment. The last visit I had with him, I waited an hour and a half to see him. Once he is in the room, he talks above me and does not put his medical terms in “layman’s” terms to help me understand what is being prescribed, ordered, etc., the point of this course of action and what the next step will be. I am extremely frustrated with Dr. Sharman and his medical care.

I spoke with the office manager of the Millsboro location, Shelley Raimondo, on today’s date. I asked to have another doctor assume my primary care due to my concerns with Dr. Sharman. I was told it was against the policy observed by Mid-Atlantic Family Practice to move patients from one physician within the practice to another. I was told I would have to find another doctor at another practice altogether.

I think this policy is absolutely absurd. I appreciate the convenience of the location of the office, and have had no problems with any other portion of MAFP. I think to turn patients away that want to stay with you is not good business practice.

My parents, two siblings, their families, and copious amounts of friends use MAFP for their primary care physicians. I would like to continue using MAFP as my primary care physician as well. If I am forced to change, they all have said they will be changing as well.

I am diabetic, and to be put in a position where I either have to stay with the doctor I am “assigned” to and established with because it is against your policy is extremely bothersome to me. I am now forced to find another doctor, wait to get an appointment with them because I will be a new patient, transfer medical records, and not have the timely follow-up visits required by my condition.

I would ask that MAFP review this policy, if not only for my benefit, for the benefit of others.

Start off with this. Wonderful Docs here. After being a patient there for 10 years, and many previous trials with physicians, I was told I can longer be a patient unless I pay 1800 dollars annually for "A MVP" style payment program. My Doc never missed a beat with me for the previous 10 years, which was important to me as I am a combat Veteran with PTSD and Anxiety. I have been prescribed multiple medications and I have come a long way. I was not directed to find another physician. I was not directed that I would no longer be a patient there. I show up for my appointment, only to be told I am no longer a patient. Now I have to scramble to find a Doc through the VA in hopes of getting my prescription/s filled. I am beyond hurt. I get it though: everyone wants to work less hours while not losing pay.

from Serena in DE • March 27, 2024
Dr. Erin Lavin, When I first became a patient at Mid Atlantic, I was under the care of Dr. Catherine Deluca.

However, upon meeting Dr. Erin Lavin, my apprehension dissolved. From our initial interaction, I sensed a strong connection with her. Dr. Read more...
