About Kathleen Haggerty, MD
Practicing personalized medicine, I believe, means forging a relationship based on listening. I want to help you pursue carrying out your health goals because I know most of your time is spent enjoying life outside an office.
I have 37 years’ experience as an internal medicine physician. I have special interests in diabetes, high blood pressure, lung and heart problems as well as most common concerns that can ail adult humans. I operated a long COVID-19 clinic and have a special interest in chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia. Similar to concierge medicine practices, my MDVIP-affiliated practice offers conveniences like same- or next-day appointments with minimal waiting.
I am affiliated with Lakeland Regional Health Medical Center (and Orlando Health Lakeland Highlands Hospital once it opens), and I can refer you to Watson Clinic or other specialists, if the need arises.
I see patients from Lakeland, Florida and a wide surrounding area, including Osceola Lake Sumter, Polk Couty, Orange County, , Pasco County, Hillsborough County, Hardee County and Lee County.

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.
