Gregory A. Hood MD MACP FRCP

Frankly, I was surprised and caught off guard; the symptoms sort of sneaked up on me. After a few days of sniffing, nose blowing and such, I went to a local walk-in clinic in our city of Lexington and asked to be tested for Covid. Twenty minutes later, while shopping in our local Walmart, I was notified via cell phone: Yes, Covid had sure enough caught me. Quite unwillingly, I had joined the "multiple thousands club." My first thought was, "Oh no! What should I do?" Then I remembered the oft-repeated instruction from my valued MDVIP physician, Dr. Greg Hood: "Bill, if you encounter a problem, call me. You have my number; call me! That is why I am here. Call me!" I decided to take him at his word. I touched his number in my cell phone and left a message. Within minutes his nurse responded, assuring me she would immediately speak with Dr. Hood and get back to me. In less than ten minutes Dr. Hood personally called me. He said, "Bill, I want you to immediately go to the hospital. They are waiting for you. I have called them; they are preparing to give you an infusion. I think this is the best line of treatment. It should quickly and strongly address your Covid issue. Go now; they are waiting for you." I really couldn't believe Dr. Hood's rapid, caring response. I did exactly what he advised. The hospital was prepared and ready to go. Two hours later I walked out thinking, "Wow! How good is this!" Dr. Hood's rapid response, his attention to the details and his recommended treatment were exactly what I needed. Two days later I was up and going full speed ahead. Over the many months and multiple appointments since, I have come to realize that Dr.'s Hood's rapid reponse to my Covid call was not a one off deal. I have learned that he and his entire staff are consistent, wonderful people whom I have come to appreciate. Dr. Hood really does care about his patients, each of us. I feel very fortunate to be his patient and also his friend. Thank you, Dr. Hood.

My doctor, Dr. Gregory Hood, makes me feel safe and comfortable. I had another doctor in the practice that decided to move on. Dr. Hood was inherited. He took care of both me and my husband. When the practice decided to go with MDVIP, we needed to make a decision as to whether to stay with him (and pay the additional fee) or to move on. We both decided that we really liked Dr. Hood and felt that he had us covered with his medical knowledge and concern, so we stayed with him and MDVIP. There has never been one day that I have regretted this. He took excellent care of my husband up until he passed away. My health has declined some and he takes great care of me. The shining moment in my care was when I was in the hospital after almost having a heart attack. I was in my room and he appeared at my door. I was so surprised to see him. It made me feel better and I knew that he was totally aware of my condition and what was going on. Thank you Dr. Hood.

I have been a patient of Dr. Gregory Hood’s for 24 years. My care has been exemplary and attentive. I would not consider another physician even though I travel almost an hour to get to his office. He always listens and includes me in my treatment plan I could not get a better physician.

My husband recognized my symptoms and immediately called 911. While waiting for the ambulance to arrive, he texted Dr Hood on his cell phone. Dr Hood called the emergency room and had them waiting to treat me immediately when I arrived. Later that night, after I had been treated and was in ICU, Dr Hood visited me. He was so encouraging to me and told me how important it was to think positive thoughts. That helped me so much that night and I still try to practice positive thinking to this very day.
