Kacey N. Durant, MD

Silly, but a memorable occasion was an afternoon on a pickleball court. The day was organized by the Doctors and we all met at a pickleball court. The doctors were there in everyday exercise clothes and introduced us to the fun game of pickleball. The chance to meet Dr. Durant's family and see all the doctors as "regular" people was a refreshing adventure. I feel closer to MDVIP and more confidant in the practice. Dr. Durant has been a very approachable physician and I am very comfortable communicating with her. I am so happy with my membership in MDVIP.

Dr. Kacey Durant and I met when I was searching for a primary care doctor after reaching Medicare age. I hate to admit it, but I never had a primary care doctor for my entire career as a medical practice executive and consultant. After my breast cancer diagnosis and treatment, I looked for a physician that would care enough to watch me for cancer reoccurrence. I found that in Dr. Durant. She is interested in my well-being, overall health and my worries about reoccurrence. She has given me great advice on gaining strength and confidence after the effects of chemotherapy. She is personable, nice, thoughtful, extremely competent and knowledgeable and efficient. All characteristics that I looked for in a physician when I was managing and consulting for medical practices. I am at peace knowing she is there for me. I appreciate her attention to my concerns and enthusiasm for helping me to reach my optimum health goals. She combines patience and encouragement into a plan for action. Thank you, Dr. Durant!!

I am so blessed to have Dr. Durant. She is knowledgeable, caring and very informative. She takes the time to hear and answer my questions. I’m 62, I’ve never had such a thorough Doctor! I’m glad she’s so young because she can be my GP for a long time! Thank you MDVIP!!

I respect Dr. Durant's knowledge and training and I also respect her as a person. I don't want to be lectured by my doctor. I don't need to be talked down to by some exalted person on a pedestal. I want to be able to have a person-to-person discussion with my primary care physician. Dr. Durant fills that requirement at a five-star level. In March 2023 I slipped on the ice and fell flat on my back in an instant. I quickly discovered I could not get upright by myself because my left leg was not functioning. I finally was able to get into the house with the help of my wife and some strangers who happened by. I called Dr. Durant and told her about my fall and obvious injury. I said there was really no need for me to come to her office because she did not have the imaging equipment necessary to see what had happened. She agreed and said I should go to Reno Orthopedic Center Express. It was late in the afternoon when I arrived at ROC. They took x-rays but were unable to do a cat scan that afternoon. ROC made an appointment for me to have a cat scan at an imaging center very early the next morning. It turned out I had ripped my left quadricep tendon off the patella. I figured I would now press forward with ROC and wouldn't hear from Dr. Durant. But I was wrong. Less than two hours after the scan I received a call from Sugar Pine Family Medicine. It was not from the nurse, but Dr. Durant herself. She had reviewed the scan and was calling to let me know what it revealed. Her opening words were, "Boy, you really did a job on your knee." I thought her personal communication was great.
