About Kimberly Smith, MD
Healing the mind, body and spirit has been my mission since I first opened the doors to my practice in November 2004. It is through comprehensive healthcare that an individual is able to achieve complete health and wellness, and my desire is to assist patients in obtaining an ideal quality of life through medical and physical healthiness, mental stability and prayer. It is my firm belief that through proactive measures, patients can avoid many of the medical issues plaguing our nation today. I know from experience that when we work as a team (doctor and patient) and decide on a comprehensive plan, including a combination of medications, natural supplements, diet and exercise, it is possible for patients to achieve optimal health. I am passionate about this amazing vocation with which God has blessed me, and it’s an honor to share this gift with my patients. My promise is to always put patients' health first and to always treat each and every patient who entrusts their health to me as I would my family ... because we are family.
As an MDVIP affiliate, I will have a multitude of tools to help prevent health problems and treat and improve current health issues efficiently and effectively, and I will provide a comprehensive wellness program that is truly beneficial to patients. I will also have the extended time needed to ensure on-time appointments and to sit and talk with you in order to get a full picture of your health. This is what healthcare is supposed to look like. I'm excited about being able to give patients the unhurried time needed each visit for assessment and proper diagnosis and for patients to have a complete understanding of their treatment plan, which will undoubtedly help patients live happier, healthier lives.

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.
