About Beth A. Holmes, DO, FAAFP

I love prevention and wellness and partnering with my patients regarding their healthcare concerns. As an MDVIP‐affiliated doctor, I want to empower you to live a healthier life and give you the guidance and tools to achieve that goal. We will work together as partners. You will be treated like family in a welcoming atmosphere and benefit from the full extent of my education, expertise, compassion and understanding.

My passion as a family practice physician is to focus on prevention and wellness, helping to prevent disease and better manage chronic conditions. I have additional interests in female health, nutrition, exercise, obesity and plant‐based nutrition. 

My primary care practice is located in Lexington, Kentucky and serves Central Kentucky. I am one of the few female family medicine physicians in Lexington offering a personalized healthcare approach. Similar to concierge medicine practices, I also offer conveniences like same- or next-day appointments. And with 22 years of practicing in the community, I have relationships with many specialists to help with your unique needs.

Dr. Michael Carr was my wife and I's physician for many years--he retired and Dr. Holmes took over. She fell right in..with us..Dr. Carr must have told her how stubborn I was. lol lol I can tell about her she is very serious about her profession, and wants to do her best for us. She is very straight up about her recommendations, treatment, medicine, and letting me now what I should be…

The greatest thing about my doctor is that she listens to how I want to live my life and perfectly accompanies me on my journey. She always encourages me; never scolds me; agrees with me when I am right; points out when I am wrong; will never utter “I told you so”; respects my holistic approach to health; always gives me the truth whatever the case; and is for me, the perfect physician.

My wife and I are both patients of Dr. Holmes. Both of us have some health issues which require us to see Dr. Holmes on a regular basis. Recently my wife fell and injured her right hip. I called Dr. Holmes at home early in the morning. I explained what happened and said we were heading for the emergency room. Dr. Holmes agreed and called ahead to let the attending medical people know we were on…

My doctor is Beth Holmes in Lexington, Ky.
I had only been a patient of her’s for about 6 months when I had what I thought might be pneumonia, flu or COVID while in Florida on a trip to see family members. My husband and I had carefully planned the trip for visits with two cousins and brother-in-law in their 70’s and one cousin 84 years-old with Parkinson’s.
Needless to say I was very…

MDVIP’s model allows me to work alongside Dr. Holmes and empowers me to take control of my health with confidence, to not only manage illness but proactively build a foundation for wellness, longevity, and optimal well-being. From the moment I step into Dr. Holmes’ office, I’m greeted by a warm, dedicated team that truly values patient care. The real difference, however, lies in the exceptional physician experience—one where Dr. Holmes actively listens, collaborates, and engages in thoughtful, challenging discussions about the latest medical advancements and practices. This partnership fosters a results-driven approach that prioritizes positive health outcomes over routine processes, making my wellness journey both refreshing and deeply rewarding.

Dr. Holmes has been my Physcian for several years now. The service and treatment is beyond my expectation for a physician. She is thorough, compassionate, and up to date on all treatment modalities to keep me in the best health. She has helped me get through several medical emergencies, and is always accessible. The service and staff are the best of the best

Dr. Holmes is my relatively new doctor, replacing Dr. Michael Carr, whom I revere. So she has large shoes in which to walk . I am very pleased with her ability and her personal approach. I have not been through crises with her but am confident in her ability to deal with them. Her attitude toward her patients and her work with them seems outstanding. Her staff also is very competent and personable. I can enthusiastically recommend Dr. Holmes and her practice.

Dr. Holmes is a great physician and the nurses and office team are extremely caring, responsive, and professional. I appreciate the personalized, above and beyond care experience Dr. Holmes and her staff now provides since moving her practice away from Baptist Health and to the MD VIP program. If you are looking for a compassionate, illness prevention approach to health, you will not be disappointed with her as your healthcare provider.

She personally has called me following a rather serious infection. She has asked about my family and I know her family life. I know she truly cares about me. I'm always greeted with a smile and told it's nice to see you. As I leave, I am told that if I am not better by a certain date to call the office back.

Age is only the confirmation of youth. If you are not wise when you are young, growing older or aging will not make you wise. It merely brings a few more years of being a fool.(Thought for the day).
Doing good Dr. Holmes, blood test all came back within normal range, you stay healthy yourself. Seems like a lot of bad stuff going around now. Thank you so much for being my Physician,,,,,,,Charles D Morris

I have been a patient of Dr. Holmes for years and she has always been wonderful to me. I really think the bad reviews should be directed to Baptist Health and the office staff.

Dr. Holmes left Baptist Health at the end of December 2021. I am having an acute/painful injury currently and the incompetence and lack of caring is definitely valid; FOR BAPTIST HEALTH. Not Dr. Holmes.

I have been a patient of Dr. Beth Holmes for a few years. I’ve been happy there until today. I have never seen such disrespect to a patient from the staff at Baptist Health. Apparently patients well being is NOT top priority for her or her staff. They proved today they do not care.

I had an intake appointment scheduled at 10:00 am. Got there 10 minutes early to complete paperwork (there was none). Waited for two hours, no doctor. When I finally decided to give up and leave, there was still someone scheduled ahead of me. The office staff didn't reach out to me while I was waiting, although they tried (unsuccessfully) to reschedule me when I went back to the window. I will not be making another appointment.

Dr Holmes was good when I went to my consultation. The staff is very ill-mannered. I had to wait for 1 hour and 30 minutes before I finally walked out when I went to my second appointment. Nobody came! and nobody apologized. Very odd moment of disappointment. On the other hand the nurse practitioner was very good when I get to get my antibiotics.

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.
