Meet Brian K. Adler, MD, FACP


After 40 years practicing medicine in Myrtle Beach, SC, I have experienced many changes in the healthcare system that I believe have negatively impacted the sacred doctor-patient relationship. My MDVIP-affiliated practice is committed to restoring that relationship and providing compassionate and comprehensive care to my patients. I believe good health is more than the absence of disease; I think it includes supporting patients as they work to optimize their physical, mental and spiritual well-being.

Many of my patients know me as the doctor who swims several miles in the ocean every day. Physical exercise is one of my mantras that I encourage all of my patients to implement into their daily routines. I have a passion for treating addiction disorders, and I have a special interest in working with patients who may have unhealthy habits that could contribute to poor health, anxiety and depression.

As a board certified specialist in internal medicine and addiction medicine, I believe my experience helps me gain insights into my patients’ unique needs. I aim to offer individualized solutions and action plans. My MDVIP-affiliated practice offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices.

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 have been going to Dr Adler for four years, he takes a well rounded approach to his patients health, physically, mentally and emotionally. Dr Adler is a rare find in a changing medical landscape of “ corporate” owned medicine.. Now as a MD VIP he can spend even more time listening as well as preventive testing helping to balance the entire picture. I look forward to the new practice of prevention rather than the sick care model that the medical field has become.

Jerry and I love Dr. Adler and his staff. As the lady said above the front desk lady is not very friendly. But the entire rest of his staff totally outweigh her nonchalant attitude. She just doesn’t know how to smile. Wouldn’t go anywhere else. He’s the best !!

Can’t say enough wonderful things about this doctor and his staff. l came to see him with no expectations and am now slowly becoming a lifetime patient, he is kind generous caring concerned and most of all results oriented he helped me when no other doctor could. I am now feeling like my old self again with minimal amounts of discomfort and a better understanding of how my Medicine and body work together. He explained everything in detail and was patient answered all my questions and was genuinely concerned. I wish there could be more doctors like him everywhere I’ll travel any distance to come and see him because I know he’ll take good care of me

This is not towards Dr. Adler, not a fan, but his staff is the worst. Please understand have been going to Dr. Adler for several years, today top the cake! The staff is horrible! Be careful when looking for a doctor, his front desk is the face of the practice, so if they are the reflection of the doctor think twice!

Dr. Alder's expertise has changed my life. For years, I've suffered with a chronic condition that previous health professionals were not able to address. Dr. Adler listened and addressed my problem. My quality of life has improved significantly! I'm so very grateful to Dr. Adler and the helpful nurses and friendly front desk staff who always make me feel welcome! You are the best of the best!

Dr. Adler is very caring and understands things in life are sometimes not fair. I do feel he understands how this disease works. He has definitely went above and beyond for me when no one else seemed to care. He has directed me in the right direction with underlying issues I have that needed some addressing immediately. Thank you Dr. Adler!!

I have known Dr. Adler since he first moved here and began his practice back in the 70's, I think it was. He is a great doctor and a great person. He has values, integrity, morals, is outstandung in his field and is simply a good person, inside and out. I would highly recommend him to anyone. If you have a 'beef' with him it is, most likely, your problem not his.

I wish I could give this place zero Stars I had an appointment for 10:30 a.m. and I wasn't seen until almost 12 o'clock then once I'm in there telling the nurse practitioner what is wrong with me she says hold on one second I'm going to call your old doctor so after about 15 minutes of waiting inside that little room by myself I had to use the restroom on my way to find the restroom I seen the nurse practitioner that was seeing me on the phone and she was making up nothing but lies about me saying I was in there for pills when I never once requested any kind of pill and she was also lying about what I said was wrong with me I told her that I had a bad back and she told the other doctor that I said that I had headaches and neck pain and shoulder pain and back pain and that everything was wrong with me and I was sending up red flags when in actuality I never said any of that

DR. ADLER DOES NOT CARE ABOUT HIS PATIENTS AT ALL. COMPLETE DISCONNECT AND ALL ABOUT THE MONEY. $200 FEE FOR LITERALLY 45 SECONDS OF HIS TIME. IVE SPENT TOTAL OF ROUGHLY $1200 JUST FOR VISITS, SEEING HIM ONLY A TOTAL OF 15 MINUTES COMBINED OVER THE PAST YEAR. THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE THE EXTRA $875 I WAS SPENDING FOR MY PRESCRIPTION PER MONTH THE FIRST 6 MONTHS BEFORE I PURCHASED HEALTH INSURANCE. THE PAST 6 MONTHS HAVE COSTED ME $200 PER VISIT+ $450 A MONTH FOR INSURANCE TO COVER ME. I WAS DISCHARGED FROM HIS SERVICES FOR A SITUATION THAT I WAS NOT IN CONTROL OF. I WAS DISCHARGED FOR SOMETHING SOMEBODY ELSE DID. EVEN WHEN I FINALLY COULD PROVE MYSELF, HE STILL DENIED ME OF SERVICES. HE ALSO KEPT MY LAST FEE I PAID AND REFUSED TO REFUND ME FOR WHAT I HAD ALREADY PAID FOR. CANNOT GET HIM ON THE PHONE, HE HIDES BEHIND HIS STAFF AND MAKES THEM DO ALL THE WORK. WILL BE REPORTING TO BBB AND ANYBODY I CAN FIND. THIS IS THE MOST UNCARING ONLY WANTS YOUR MONEY DOCTOR IVE EVER MET. SOME OF HIS STAFF IS GREAT THO. I WAS DONE COMPLETLEY WRONG AND NOW IM STUCK IN THE SITUATION WHICH HE CLAIMED TO BE HIS REASONING OF HELPING ME. I WOULDN'T EVER GO BACK TO HIM IF HE OFFERED ME TO FOR FREE. I HOPE YOUR READING THIS YOU INCONSIDERATE $200 FOR 2 MINUTE SLACK JOKE. I'D GIVE 0 STARS IF IT GAVE ME THE OPTION. NEXT TIME ATLEAST HEAR YOUR PATIENT OUT AND SPEAK DIRECTLY TO THEM INSTEAD OF TUCKING YOUR TAIL BETWEEN YOUR LEGS AND HIDING BECAUSE YOU KNOW YOU JUST DONE YOUR MOST HONEST AND STRAIGHT FORWARD PATIENT WRONG.
