My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness...

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.

On a recent visit, Dr. Chaconas recognized a heart abnormality and aggressively set in motion a speedy response to my condition. Within a relatively short time I had a heart valve replaced and a Pacemaker. Without his prompt action my quality of live has returned.

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… See more

from Karin in VA January 18, 2024 for George Chaconas, MD, FNLA

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… See more

from David in VA March 10, 2020 for George Chaconas, MD, FNLA

I was referred to Dr. Chaconas originally by my Cardiologist so he could get my lipids in order. He was a Saint and went the extra mile to get me on the right medicine and my numbers in line. I cannot thank him enough. Now as my MDVIP he is exceptional and always available. You cannot get any better care.

Thank you!
