About Leslie Franklin, MD, FACP
I believe individualized healthcare starts with taking more time to get to know you. Listening to your concerns, your goals and what matters most to you can help us make informed decisions about your health together. I want you to feel not only comfortable asking questions but also confident that you are being heard.
My goal as an MDVIP-affiliated physician is to provide a more personalized approach to care—with more time and opportunities for communication that I feel are missing in today’s healthcare environment. This includes the annual MDVIP Wellness Program that I offer which helps us focus on prevention and can give us a more comprehensive look at your health. I have a particular interest in heart health and helping patients as they work to reduce potential long-term risks of heart disease.
I have practiced primary care in Nashville, TN for over 15 years and feel fortunate to care for people in this community. My goal is to provide personalized, compassionate care so you feel supported, more informed and confident in managing your health.

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.
