About Charis A. Lee, MD, FACP
Welcome to Flower City Medical Group. My goal as your personal doctor is to partner with you to help create a personalized action plan to follow as we review your health problems and work to help prevent new ones. I understand and celebrate that internal medicine patients have specific medical needs and desire a unique path to improved health. I can work with you to assist you with making more informed decisions toward achieving your goals - whether it's running your first marathon, improving your nutrition, reviewing your chronic disease or trying to reduce the use of medications when possible.
We offer same- or next-day appointments and a calm, unhurried atmosphere. My MDVIP-affiliated practice offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices.
I have been practicing medicine in Rochester, New York, for over 20 years and look forward to many years in partnership with MDVIP. I have affiliations with both Rochester Regional Health and the University of Rochester Medical Center.
I am board certified in internal medicine and a Fellow of the American College of Physicians. I believe that incorporating lifestyle medicine, which aims to optimize physical and mental health, is important. My goal is to help patients as they work toward increasing longevity and improving their quality of life, no matter their age and background. Life is busy, and I feel it is important to take time for yourself, as there is no greater investment than your health.

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.
