About Edward A. Tillitz II, DO
I believe that people deserve more personalized healthcare. You should be able to have a genuine conversation with your personal physician and address your current problems, discuss prevention of any new problems and work together to help improve your overall wellness. You should not feel like the next customer in a buffet line. You should feel like a valued and unique patient and leave your doctor’s office feeling cared for. As an MDVIP-affiliated physician, I am able to provide my patients with an individualized experience that is mutually satisfying. This is not always possible in today's "big box" primary care settings.
As an experienced board-certified osteopathic internist of more than 10 years, I am well versed in treating adult medical problems such as hypertension and diabetes just to name a few. I have worked in major hospitals in our area, taking care of patients with these problems in their acute phases with a "western" medicine approach. I also have interests in functional medicine and gut health and believe in taking a more "natural" approach first if possible, helping the body to heal itself...getting back to my osteopathic roots. Similar to concierge medicine practices, I offer conveniences like same- or next-day appointments. I am located in the heart of Columbia, SC and serve the surrounding areas which include Lexington and Irmo and various locations in South Carolina.

What our members are saying
listened very well. I enjoyed talking with him as well because he gives information and has
a sense of humor. When he was checking my ears for earwax he said "There is sure a forest
of hairs in there." A good doctor who tries hard and performs well.

It was impressive that Dr. Tillitz had reviewed my medical information before my first appointment! If you are in search of a capable primary care physician with good communication skills, a friendly personality, and a caring manner I recommend Dr. Tillitz.
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.
