About Letitia E. Tierney, MD, JD
It is my belief that the relationship between a physician and a patient is a partnership. This partnership is based on mutual trust and respect that is earned, not given. As an MDVIP-affiliated primary care physician, I have more time to develop closer relationships with my patients. Spending that extra time with my patients affords me the opportunity to know the patient as a person, not a disease. I have the opportunity to know and better understand a patient’s life, history, health, family and work – any of which can affect the patient’s well‐being – mentally, emotionally and physically. A patient is much more than a diagnosis or a test result.
Working together, we can formulate a wellness plan that can work for you and your life. There are no right or wrong choices – only choices that can hopefully work best for you and your family. A patient knows their body best, so their thoughts and concerns matter to me. There are often many ways to approach a health issue. As long as there is an understanding of the options and the risks and benefits, the choice a patient makes will be respected.
As your personal physician, I will have the time to be there when you need me. I will also be able to help you and your family navigate what has become an increasingly complex healthcare system and help support you through the challenges of modern medical care.
With nearly 20 years of practicing medicine in the Charleston community, I have built relationships with many specialists. I may be your internal medicine doctor, but I also have interests in hepatology (diseases of the liver). And 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 goal is to provide you with an experience that will exceed your expectations for a doctor’s office.

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.
