Meet Karen C. Dantin, MD


I have always wanted my patients to feel as if they are visiting family or friends; not as a stranger in a clinical setting. A comfortable environment encourages exploring options – your own, or suggestions offered. Part of my job is assisting patients to recognize that exceptional health is a journey – initiated by genetics. The ultimate path is determined by lifestyle choices and daily habits. I feel privileged to aid patients on their journey. Coaching those truly vested in improving or maintaining heath is what I love to do.

My Civilian and Navy medical training, in what I call "traditional Western medicine,” has provided a solid base on which to add and expand both holistic and Western knowledge. I strive for a balance between the two, while working within the conditions of patients’ desires and actions to “be all you can be.” I have learned that treating symptoms without addressing the underlying causes is not the way to true healing. Seeking and resolving root imbalances is the goal - the road to success.

My new MDVIP-affiliated practice model is an amazing venue for patients to experience treatment the way that they truly deserve. It brings back the “family physician” concept of Marcus Welby, a friend you can trust and confide in. Over the last 30 years, my practice has evolved to both empower and encourage patients. Combine that strength with time and personalization and add the benefits of cutting edge medicine technology, what could be better?

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.

The staff is very helpful and seems to care very much. You aren't simply a number to them, you're a person that they'll bend over backwards to accommodate. Dr. Dantin herself is out of this world. She approaches your health from every angle. Highly recommended!

Dr. Dantin is thorough and caring, I feel like I am in good hands and her diagnostic abilities are second to none. She dives into my blood work to find answers to any medical condition that I have experienced which makes me feel good that I know nothing has been overlooked. She is caring and sincere- very down to earth. Her staff are amazing and thoughtful. I highly recommend Dr. Karen Dantin!

Dear Doctor Karen Dantin,

I would like to express my deepest gratitude for everything that you have done for me for over 25 yrs. You and your staff always try to fit me into your busy schedule.

Thank you for helping me with my physical needs and to get healthy, and also your kind words when I lost my father, sister and my best friend who was like a sister to me for 40 yrs. Giving me a hug and encouragement to go on. You have been with me for many years helping me get through some tough times in my life. You gave me excellent medical care and I am honored to not just call you my doctor but my friend.

I also want to thank you and your excellent staff sending cards when I lost family members and birthday cards signed by everyone in the office.

You are a blessing to my life and I know you will always be here to help me in sickness and in sadness.

Sincerely,
Judy LaCava

Absolutely excellent. The teamwork of the staff is authentic—love of people and love of their jobs. Dr Dantin is serious about her business- her patients, of course. She connects the dots to get to the bottom of an issue without sending me all over for multiple trips and tests. I do not have the rest of my life to fix something which wasn’t treated properly in the past! She knows how to get/do what her patients need. If there’s a problem which western medicine has failed, she won’t hesitate to recommend other integrated health services, all in her clinic. Patient, humble, helpful and knowledgeable. Yes please :) !!!!!

Dr Dantin & her staff are AWESOME...I was diagnosed with Nephrotic Syndrome in the fall of 2018. I decided to try a holistic approach rather than traditional medical treatment, and with Dr Dantin’s guidance, we have seen remarkable positive results. We truly believe God lead us to her & are grateful for her expertise.....not to mention how WONDERFUL it is to call an office & be able to speak to a REAL HUMAN....they are all very caring, patient, & have been a blessing to us.

Karen Dantin, M.D. is the best doctor that I have ever had in my 71 years! She is very professional, knowledgeable, and always up-to-date with the latest medical practices while maintaining a very down-to-earth and old-fashioned delivery in the way she handles her practice. Both Dr. Dantin and her professional staff make you feel right at home. She is always easy to contact at any time day or night. Her facility has a very "homey" comfortable atmosphere. She always has healthy snacks in the waiting area. Dr. Dantin has many services to offer. When she is going over your visit with you or interpreting the outcome of tests, she has a truly personable way in her delivery and a very comforting demeanor. Both my husband and I completely trust her advice and treatment. We love her staff and we would not hesitate to recommend her to our friends.

I love being a patient of Dr. Karen Dantin. My health has improved greatly under her care. Her approach to medical care is encompassing of the entire body, so solutions can be approached from several directions. I appreciate that she provides information on both holistic and conventional treatments and respects my decision of which I choose to follow. I am confident in her advice as she keeps up to date on what’s happening in medicine. A benefit of the MVIP practice is the annual exam that is comprehensive and covers more than a usual physical. Dr. Dantin’s explanation of results is thorough and expansive. I keep my results so I can see my progress from year to year. Dr. Dantin’s staff is excellent and always helpful. And they know me! Requests for test results or information are handled very efficiently. I can always get an appointment when needed. Overall, the quality of care from Dr. Dantin and staff is excellent and far beyond what I have experienced with other medical clinics.

After going for my free consult, I knew I wanted Dr. Dantin to serve as my general practitioner. Coming from a holistic approach myself, it was refreshing to know she approaches medicine with a focus on the root cause, rather than simply the standard rushed and pharmaceutical approach. Her multidisciplinary clinic also includes specialists who provide massage therapy, craniosacral therapy, hydrotherapy, acupuncture, hyperbaric therapy, and infrared sauna. I really felt like I was talking to a family member as I talked to her.

Lisa Bercegeay is an excellent addition to the team at the integrative medicine clinic of Dr. Karen Dantin. The CranioSacral Therapy work I have received from Lisa has been transformative in my health. The head and neck pain I suffered with from a car accident injury long ago are no more. Her work is gentle and intuitive yet deeply profound. She's the best CST therapist in the area and I highly recommend getting and appointment with Lisa.

Dr. Dantin actually listened to my health issues, did not dismiss symptoms, and understood my need for answers. She was the only doctor that has used her medical training, skills, powers of assessment, and intelligence to solve and remedy my health issues. I have been able to get off all my medications that only treated symptoms and not the actual problem! I can not emphasize enough the quality difference in her medical treatment. Thank you Dr. Dantin!

When my doctor Dr. Karen Dantin, first, announced that she was going to join MDVIP, I asked my husband to come with me for the informational presentation.
