About Kurtis C. Dornan, MD
I am a board certified family physician with over 20 years of clinical experience. Throughout my career, I have come to believe that more meaningful and individualized healthcare is built on stronger, trusting relationships between physician and patient.
I believe medicine works best when it can be a partnership. My approach is rooted in having more time to listen, discussing each patient’s unique goals and concerns and supporting them as they address health challenges as a patient–physician team. In my practice, appointments are never rushed, and I aim to create a judgement-free zone. My aim is for each patient to feel heard, respected and supported.
In the MDVIP model, I can limit my patient panel, which allows me to offer unhurried visits, personalized care, and benefits not typically found in traditional primary care practices. I have more time to discuss your health history, lifestyle and priorities so we can develop a comprehensive, individualized care plan together—one that supports you not only in addressing existing illness, but also providing greater opportunity to focus on prevention, longevity and overall well-being.
My MDVIP-affiliated practice offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices.
My practice philosophy is simple: Medicine should be personal. I believe individualized care benefits from more time between the doctor and patient to build trust and more time for the doctor to be available when patients need me. Because I have fewer patients, I can listen, discuss concerns big and small, advocate on my patients’ behalf with specialists, and partner more meaningfully with each patient to support their pursuit of lifelong health and well-being.
My goal as your personal, primary care physician is to help you as you pursue achieving and maintaining your best possible health. I believe that kind of support includes honesty, mutual trust and active participation from both of us. I am committed to being your advocate, your resource and your partner in health.
I look forward to building a long-term relationship with you and supporting you on your journey to better health.
“One of the essential qualities of the clinician is interest in humanity, for the secret of the care of the patient is in caring for the patient.”

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.
