My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness...
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.

I have been a patient of Erin Lavin DO, for approximately 7 years now and never in my wildest dreams would I have thought a doctor could be so concerned, caring, forthright, and thorough. After 20 years in the Air Force, during which I have seen many Military Doctors, Flight Surgeons, and Specialists alike, no one has come close to providing the comfort and warmth I feel when receiving my… See more

Dr. Lavin has been so wonderful to my family. She has seen my daughter and me since my pregnancy in 2019. She always takes the time to talk about our health as whole people - physically, mentally, spiritually, and socially. Dr. Lavin considers our values and goals in every conversation regarding our care. She has, on several occasions, offered me suggestions for behavior change that were small… See more

I was a patient of Dr. Lavin prior to her going to MDVIP. When she changed, it was a no brainer to sign up to stay under her care. Dr. Lavin is a fantastic Doctor because she listens to you when you explain your health issue. I have not always had this with prior providers. She goes over my complete MDVIP exam and explains results so I understand them. She is very thorough in my exam. I feel… See more

Dr. Lavin is absolutely the best Doctor. She is very knowledgeable and most importantly, she listens to me as a patient. The care she gives is the best! I have had a few challenging medical issues and she has gotten me thru them. We are currently working thru a viral infection. There aren’t too many Doctors who respond to text messages on weekends. As a Doctor with MDVIP, it is offered to… See more

We relocated to Lewes DE last year from New Jersey with our 26 yr. old daughter who has cerebral palsy. Finding a top notch, compassionate and caring physician for her was on the top of our list of things to do! We are very grateful to have found Dr. Erin Lavin. She has responded very quickly to any issues that have arisen with our daughter and helped us avoid a long trip back to NJ to pick… See more

My husband and I both see Dr. Erin Lavin. We both feel that for our annual check ups and during our Medicare physicals, when she is with us, we never feel rushed and it’s very apparent we have her undivided attention. She is very thorough in reviewing our lab results with us and is so supportive in encouraging us to live our lives in as healthy a manner as is possible. When acute issues… See more

Dr. Erin Lavin is like having a trusted friend available when I need medical help. It's wonderful to be able to text or call in pinch, but what I like most is her generosity of spirit, her warmth, and her knowledge of medicine. Truly one of the best docs I have ever had, she really cares about her patients!

Dr. Lavin is an excellent Doctor in determining the issue and working with you to get it resolved. The MDVIP association gives her the opportunity to take care of her patients to the best of her training and ability. With a recent Covid illness, her quick determination of the problem and arranging for me to get a Regeneron infusion saved me from having a more serious case. I have seen Dr.… See more
