About Geoffrey Kamen, MD
I believe individualized healthcare begins with listening to the patient, not just the symptoms. As your personal doctor and family physician, my goal is to build a lasting relationship based on trust, communication and personalized healthcare that supports your efforts to prevent illness, maintain your health and enjoy the highest possible quality of life.
I am a board certified family physician who has practiced family medicine in both California and Israel, caring for patients in community, correctional, military and addiction medicine. These diverse experiences have reinforced my belief that every patient has unique goals, priorities and life circumstances. By having more time to understand your medical history, lifestyle and personal goals, we can develop a personalized plan that reflects your individual needs and supports your pursuit of long-term health.
Prevention is the cornerstone of my primary care practice. I believe the advanced screenings and diagnostics in the annual MDVIP Wellness Program I offer can help identify health risk factors, and we can work together to develop a plan for preventive measures before they become serious issues. I believe that intervening earlier, when possible, can help patients remain physically, cognitively and emotionally healthier. My goal is not only to help you as you work toward living longer, but also to support your efforts to remain active, independent and able to enjoy the people and activities that matter most to you.
The MDVIP model allows me to practice medicine the way I believe it should be practiced. My MDVIP-affiliated practice offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices. We have more time to develop a personalized wellness plan based on your medical history, lifestyle and health goals. Not only can we focus on today's concerns, we can partner to proactively plan how you can pursue protecting your health for years to come.
Your care can extend beyond office visits. Resources available through my affiliation with MDVIP can support you as you address chronic conditions, and there are tools to assist with behavioral health integration and remote patient monitoring if needed. I have more time to guide you throughout the year and support your overall health and function.
Medicine continues to evolve through new research, medications and technologies. I remain committed to continuing medical education throughout my career so I can educate patients on these advances and discuss evidence-based medical care.
My family medicine practice provides personalized primary care for adults throughout San Luis Obispo County, CA, including San Luis Obispo, Los Osos, Morro Bay, Atascadero, Paso Robles, Templeton, Arroyo Grande, Grover Beach, Pismo Beach and Nipomo.
My professional interests include preventive medicine, chronic diseases, behavioral health, ADHD evaluation and care, healthy aging and helping patients as they pursue lifelong wellness. My commitment is to provide compassionate and evidence-based medical care while partnering with you as you work to achieve your health goals and maintain your quality of life for years to come.

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.
