Meet Gregory A. Hood MD MACP FRCP


My natural passion for life has always driven me to provide detailed, comprehensive, personal health care to each of my patients. Being able to provide personalized medical care is something I thoroughly enjoy. Affiliating with MDVIP has helped me to preserve and robustly improve the opportunities to plan proactively with you. I promise to use my education, experience, compassion and understanding to build a close and constructive relationship with you. Partnering together, I believe that we can maintain your current health while also helping prevent new problems. My goal is to help you meet your personal goals for your life and your health at every stage of life. 

Located in Lexington, Kentucky and affiliated with Baptist Hospital, I’m honored to serve patients who come to see me from across the Commonwealth, as well as from many other states. My staff and I are accustomed to working with “snowbirds”, who winter in warmer climates. My personalized, internal medicine practice allows me to get to know each of my patients and to care for them well beyond their immediate needs. Because of this, when necessary, I am able to coordinate patient care with preferred physician colleagues, whether it be across town or across the country. My MDVIP-affiliated practice, often compared to a concierge medicine practice, also offers conveniences like same- or next-day appointments. In my internal medicine practice, I address the full depth and breadth of adult health, wellness and illness, with particular interest in prevention and wellness as well as cardiovascular health, hypertension, cholesterol disorders, nutrition, orthopedic and musculoskeletal problems.

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.

Testimonials from patients of Gregory A. Hood MD MACP FRCP

Promptness is Caring!

from William in KY • April 2, 2024
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 " Read more...

Thank You Dr. Gregory Hood

from Deedie in KY • March 30, 2024
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 Read more...

MD above and beyond

from Teresa in KY • March 14, 2024
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.

When I had my stroke

from Sue in KY • March 12, 2024
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 Read more...

Who Knew?

from Judy in KY • March 11, 2024
Dr. Gregory Hood is my PCP and was many years before he became associated with MDVIP. I’ve always know he is the best of the best. A few months ago he diagnosed a problem I had suffered with for a long time. I had been to a specialist with no clear answers. One day in Dr.Hoods office he asked me to send him a picture of the label on some tea I was drinking every day. I did and he called me and Read more...
