About 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.
