About Corinthia McLeroy, MD
Primary care is an important step in pursuing and maintaining good health. My passion as an internal medicine physician is providing care that is approachable, informative and compassionate. I pride myself on taking time with my patients so that they can feel heard and know that their health is my priority without feeling rushed. I value the relationships I build with my patients and I consider them a part of my family. I aim to create connections that consider them as a whole person and not just a patient. I treat my patients as individuals and we work together to create an individualized health plan to help them as they pursue achieving their improved health without feeling like a number.
As one of few African American female internal medicine physicians in Dallas, Texas, offering individualized healthcare, I pride myself on reviewing chronic health conditions, such as hypertension, as well as acute illnesses, and providing preventive care. My goal is to maintain good health in our community and try to help patients work to prevent disease from impacting their ability to live life to its fullest. My MDVIP-affiliated practice offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices.
My practice is located in Dallas. I am affiliated with Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas and I have relationships with many specialists in Dallas and surrounding areas.

Reviews from the web
She is kind, thoughtful, and consistently attentive to my needs and concerns. She has worked with me to get my health on track, and I’m genuinely pleased with the level of care she provides. I’ve seen comments about her becoming a concierge doctor, which requires a monthly or annual fee. I understand the sticker shock—it surprised me too, and it can leave a bitter taste. But in fairness, it’s incredibly hard to find a doctor who truly listens, especially one who takes your concerns and fears seriously.
As a woman of color, I’ve had far too many experiences where my symptoms, feelings, and worries were dismissed. You don’t need multiple visits to realize when a doctor isn’t hearing you. That’s why having a physician who listens matters so much. I also struggle with the cost of maintaining care under a concierge model, but I can’t deny that Dr. McLeroy is a good doctor.
People often assume all doctors are wealthy, but that depends on the specialty and the system they work in. The medical industry as a whole can feel like a racket—patients are charged for everything, and that’s not unique to Dr. McLeroy. So while we all have the right to express our frustrations, I think it’s important to acknowledge the positives as well as the negatives.
Sincerely,
JB
On my last visit, I asked her to work with me on my medications until I found another doctor, she agreed. A medication needed to help my A1C was to be called in, my pharmacy informed me that she DENIED IT... after agreeing!
The concierge program really showed her true colors.
I had gotten a text to come 30 minutes before my appointment along with a link to upload my insurance and fill out some forms online. I did everything as instructed and figured since I already did all that stuff I didn't need to come 30 minutes prior but I did still arrive early just in case. I came at 8:45 for my 9:00 appointment. I walked in and the front desk girl is staring at her computer talking to me saying "What's your name" and I told her my first and last name. She then continues to slowly click some stuff on her computer. Hangs up the phone that she was holding the whole time and prints some forms out. She then grabs the forms and comes sit at the desk right in-front of the check in window. And she informs me that I needed to be 30 minutes early to my appointment and that its 8:53 and they can't see me. WHEN SHE TOOK NEARLY 10 MINS TO PRINT OUT SOME FORMS and then tells me they can't see me. If that's the case why didn't they tell me right away when she asked for my name and looked me up on the system? Then they tell me I would have to be seen in January where the doctor changes insurance and I would have to be out of pocket. Another girl comes and she asks for my insurance and ID then asks me to fill out some forms as quickly as I can. So I thought great I can be seen and I was doing the forms as quickly as I can and I was halfway done with them before the new girl told me I couldn't be seen as well even though I was almost finished with the forms, and it was still a few minutes before 9:00. I obviously was upset so they changed that I can come on Thursday. But obviously like any other person, I have work and I took off work for this appointment that I couldn't go to, I couldn't taken another day off of work. I'm extremely disappointed because I had to wait two months for this appointment and was treated like this.
“Check in early for your 10:00am CDT appt on 10/03 with Dr. MCLEROY at CORINTHIA MCLEROY MD: New patients pls arrive 30 mins early to check in. Bring your insurance card, a photo ID, payment, and any medications you are currently taking. Reply STOP to opt out.”
A very standard message. The night before my appointment I started experiencing a tightness in my chest and thought that it was good I had a doctor’s appt in the morning because I was going to mention it.. I arrived about 10min before my appointment under the impression since I competed my paperwork beforehand and checked in EARLY everything would be fine.
When I arrived I was not greeted with a hello it was immediately “what is your name” it took me off guard. Then I was flatly told that I could not be seen since I did not arrive at 9:30am for a 10am appointment. The exchange was very matter of fact and flat and extremely off putting and while I was in there I was starting to experience more tightness in my chest that was making it hard to breathe. It was getting so hard to breathe and the overall experience was so distasteful I opted not to reschedule and went to an urgent care because it was clear the front desk staff could care less.
After I went to urgent care I was immediately rushed to the hospital and was there for four days and quite frankly could have lost my life if I didn’t make it in. It would have been nice to consult with the medical professional I waited two months to see to recognize the symptoms I was experiencing was actually me suffering from a medical emergency (pulmonary embolism).
Ultimately I think it’s fair to have standards policies and procedures but by no means is that clear from the check in message. It should clearly state new patients HAVE to be 30min early and there is no grace period despite checking in early and completing paperwork. Honestly, checking in early shouldn’t even be an option for new patients if that’s the case. There are so many ways to get the clear message across and the fact that there are several reviews regarding the same issue is a red flag. There is nothing wrong with prioritizing semantics and ensuring the severity of the policies are clear because miscommunication and a lack of empathy and grace almost cost me my life.
In addition to being one of the warmest, most caring, compassionate, and empathetic physicians that I have ever had (and I’ve had WAY TOO MANY), Dr. McLeroy is an incredible diagnostician and her skills as a medical practitioner are UNSURPASSED!!!
I ALWAYS refer friends to her, and I feel lucky and blessed to have found Dr. McLeroy, and to have her in my life as my PCP!
Dr. McLeroy is TRULY ONE OF A KIND!!!!
Please call her office ASAP if you need an amazing Primary Care physician, as Dr. McLeroy will not disappoint!
Arrived at the address but the building had no outside signage for her office. Entered the building and there was no posting of which direction of where her office is. Finally found it!
Nice, clean, bright office! Upon entering, Maggie was on a call and noticed no other patients waiting. When she got off the phone, I eventually approached the front office window. She quickly said "You were supposed to be here at 10:30am." I'm like what time is it now? She stated 10:47am. I asked why 10:30am and she said to complete paperwork. I then said questionably "in addition to me completing it within the patient portal?". Her response was of "I don't know why that's offered, it doesn't work." She gathered the documents and handed them to me but not before saying "quickly fill out....we might have to reschedule you." With a puzzled look on my face, I say you should ask Branden Blanton BEFORE I manually complete this paperwork. She does and returns to say HE CAN'T SEE YOU TODAY. My appointment was at 11am, WTH!!!!
She says we're going to reschedule you. I agree and tell her only with Dr. McLeroy. She goes on about completing the paperwork, which begins to frustrate me. I told her to refund my payment made through the patient portal and left.
I have never been turned away from any doctor appointments!!!!
Would have ENJOYED being her newest patient because of a family referral and patient reviews!
UPDATE: Before leaving her office, I told them to refund me. As of today, no refund. Called spoke with Daja asked for billing and before she hung upon me, she said they didn't have a billing department. I called back, Maggie answered and I asked where's my refund? She said they processed it same day and didn't have a conformation to send me. They're so rude, unprofessional and unconcerned! Nevertheless, I've called my bank to process a dispute!
Also, I have some of the worst veins for drawing blood (always have). Her MA saw how difficult it may be to draw blood, and instead of chancing it, sent me to a nearby Quest Diagnostics. I appreciated her not trying and realizing that I needed to go to those who do this everyday, all day.
At first I couldn't even get a hold of Dr McLeroy and staff was very rude and unprofessional. So finally she called me back and requested me to call the lab to get the break down of all the tests that were made and forward it to her, so she can change the coding.
I can't get a hold of the lab or of her office at this point.
My questions are:
- How many more patients and their insurances do you scam ordering tests that were not needed nor requested?
- Do you think this is ethical as a professional?
Needless to say I will not be going back and I would not recommend her practice to any of my friends or family members.
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.
