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. I did not disclose that I was going to have to pay extra for this service because I did not think he would approve the extra money out of our budget. He came, listened, and when the presentation was over the Dr. asked if anyone had any… See more

My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness...
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?

When I first found Dr. Karen Dantin, my regular doctors were only treating symptoms. I had 7 prescriptions yet I still felt constantly fatigued, mentally cloudy, depressed and couldn't shed the extra pounds. After enrolling, Dr Dantin took a plethora of blood work, pulled my old records and I completed did the "Annual Screening" full assessment. I returned and together we reviewed my results… See more
Dr. Dantin took me into the MDVIP program and actually listed to all my symptoms. After seeing that many symptoms fit medical issues other doctors said weren't issues, she tested more in depth. Because she was willing to look further and delve into problems that were harder to see, she has helped me repair my system so that I only take 1 prescription now and the amount has been lowered… See more

On the contrary she will give all of her time and answer questions I might have. Through this message I want to express my appreciation to Dr Dantin for her interest and passion in teaching me how to become healthy and how to prevent diseases… See more
Doc is the most down to earth doctor I have ever seen. She has the best bedside manners I have ever experienced with a doctor. I feel like I can talk with her about anything going on in my life and she doesnt judge me. I dont have a lot of money but I will spend every penny I have to remain a patient of hers. I would be lost without her.
Dr. Dantin takes the time to listen, explain test results thoroughly, and I really appreciate the fact that she suggests supplements and nutritional changes instead of pushing medication unless it's necessary. I really love her willingness to work with me to be the healthiest I can be.
Dr. Dantin.. I am so honored to be a patient of yours! You've always been so caring and concerned about my health. Being able to talk to you not only as my doctor, but as a great friend means so much to me! I really appreciate you more than you know. Thank you for the seninars you do as well(as they're so helpful and informative)! God Bless You Always!
