My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness...
Having a small, personalized healthcare practice allows for longer appointments that are typically not rushed, little to no waiting time and the ability for patients to contact me after hours for more urgent needs on my cell phone. And my MDVIP-affiliated practice, often compared to a concierge medicine practice, offers conveniences like same- or next-day appointments.
I believe that healthcare is one of the most important aspects of your life and that it is essential to have a primary care physician in the right setting to help deliver the care and attention that most patients seek. To me, the partnership between doctor and patient is critical to developing more personalized approaches to your needs and preferences. I can work more closely with you to help guide you on a path to better health as you make choices about your lifestyle habits and behaviors. As a board-certified internal medicine specialist, I can discuss acute and chronic health concerns, as well as emphasize prevention and education, with more time to coach and support you. I have special interest in chronic disease, such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia and diabetes.
Having served as the previous chief of staff of West Hills Hospital, I have relationships with specialists to help you with your unique needs as needed. My practice is in West Hills and serves patients in Canoga Park, Chatsworth, Northridge, Calabasas, Agoura, Westlake Village, Hidden Hills, Thousand Oaks, Simi Valley, Tarzana, Reseda, Encino, Sherman Oaks and Studio City. I am affiliated with West Hills Hospital and Medical Center.

Testimonials from patients of Dr. Lavin
Dr Lavin is the BEST. He is not only my doctor. I may only see him for routine physicals and when I'm not feeling well.
I know I can count on him for anything. Whether it's medical related or personal.
He is a TRUE friend. Thank you for everything you do for me
The quick access to Dr. Lavin is incredible. I've been able to text him pictures of a cut to determine if stitches were needed, emailed on a Sunday due to an exceptionally painful migraine and always receive an immediate response and is always concerned. My experience in the past with others doctor's is when you call off hours (which I rarely did) they'll call you back and… See more
Dr. Marc Lavin returns my texts (no matter how absurd) in a timely and informative fashion. He also answers emergency questions I have from my family. Marc always takes his time AND he has a sense of humor
