About Kenyatta Shamlin-Haynes, MD
My philosophy of care is rooted in the belief that impactful medicine is personal, proactive and preventive. I value the sacred trust patients place in me as their physician and strive to honor that trust by providing attentive, unhurried care that helps address the whole person—body, mind and spirit.
Through the MDVIP model, I am committed to partnering with patients on their health journeys, providing personalized health care and emphasizing prevention and wellness rather than only reacting to illness. This approach allows me more time to listen, build meaningful relationships and create individualized plans that can fit each patient’s unique goals and lifestyle.
Ultimately, my purpose as a primary care physician is not only to help with illness, but also to guide, support and walk alongside my patients as they pursue lasting health and wholeness.
I have a special passion for caring for the whole person, with interests in women’s health, bone health, mental health and insulin resistance. Serving the Baton Rouge, LA, community is both a privilege and a joy, and I value the opportunity to build long-term relationships with my patients and their families. I speak English, French and some Russian, which allows me to connect with people from different backgrounds in a more personal way. I am also affiliated with Baton Rouge General, Ochsner Medical Center, Woman’s Hospital, and Our Lady of the Lake, which can help me support patients with resources.
My goal is to create a warm, supportive environment where patients feel heard, cared for and empowered as they work to live healthier, fuller lives.
My MDVIP-affiliated practice offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices.

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.
