About Karlene Ross, MD

I have been taking care of my patients and their families in Southern Maryland for nearly two decades. The connections I have with my patients — and the trust they place in me — are the most valuable part of what I do. I started my practice in 2007 with my mother at the front desk as my only employee. I am proud to have patients who have been with me from the beginning and still ask how Mom is doing.
 
As my practice grew to serve over 1,200 members of the community, I faced a challenge: How could I continue to provide more personalized, preventive care to my patients? My answer: practice in a model where I have more time to dedicate to each patient. In my MDVIP-affiliated practice, I have more of what my patients and I value most — time.
 
I completed my medical education in New York City and received wonderful training in family medicine at New York Presbyterian Hospital. My special interests include obesity, women's health, diabetes, and menopause care. While living and working in Washington Heights, I also learned to speak Spanish. I started my practice in Waldorf after moving to Maryland to be closer to family. Southern Maryland has been home to me and my children for the last 20 years.
 
I would love to work with you on your wellness and longevity plan. My MDVIP-affiliated practice offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices or traditional practices.
 
The results of the annual MDVIP Wellness Program I offer can help us build a personalized plan just for you — one that includes weight loss management, nutrition, exercise goals, and vitamins and supplements tailored to your needs. We can focus on disease prevention and management grounded in evidence-based medicine.
 
And I can be available when you need me — whether that means a same-day or next-day appointment, an after-hours call for a more urgent matter, or more time to speak with specialists and other members of your care team. For my home-bound patients, I can also offer home visits or help arranging transportation to the office.
 
My patients put their trust in me, and I want to honor that trust by providing the most individualized care I can.

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.
