About Joel Keenan, MD

The two biggest threats to our health, I believe, are the foods we don’t eat and the exercise we don’t get. In my opinion, there’s not a prescription medication on the market that comes close to the benefit of eating whole, unprocessed food, mostly plants, and getting at least a half-hour of exercise every day.

I’m a board-certified internist and value my education and training. I believe we primary care physicians should focus, too, on the difficult and rewarding task of figuring out how to support our patients in their pursuit of eating better and living well in the modern world – because the payoff for doing that can be huge. More than helping us live longer, I feel it can also help us stay healthier for all our lives, so we can enjoy all the time we have.

That is the focus of my solo internal medicine practice in York, Maine. In addition to my medical degree, I have a master’s degree in nutrition, and I give periodic talks about food and exercise and their roles in healing and helping in disease prevention. I am certified in the BaleDoneen Method®, an evidence-based approach that helps optimize arterial wellness and avoid cardiovascular, diabetic and other chronic conditions.

My wife, Heidi, is our office manager and our dog, Q Tip, enjoys greeting patients who would like to say hello to her. We offer a peaceful, kind environment without forms to fill out, with minimal waiting, and we offer conveniences and benefits for more personalized care. We practice medicine the way it used to be, and we love doing it. We welcome patients from Exeter to Kennebunkport, ME, and beyond.

A few years ago I was having heart palpitations during an evening. I called Dr. Keenan about 10 pm to see if I could get a word with him in order to avoid a trip to the emergency room. Even though it was after hours he took my call. We discussed the situation and he immediately changed the amount of beta blocker that I was taking. Within 30 minutes or so my heart settled down. That dosage has…

My spouse has MCI. Dr Keenan has helped us navigate through his medicines and moods. Dr Keenan is a good listener, never seems hurried when we meet him, and responds quickly to our emails. He has an easy and "peaceful" manner about him.
My spouse feels very much at ease when he meets with Dr. Keenan and trust him totally.

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.
