Dr. Marc Lavin

Meet Marc I. Lavin, MD, FACP


With over 25 years practicing as a primary care physician in the San Fernando Valley, California, and surrounding areas, my goal as a private internal medicine doctor is to provide more personalized, proactive care to my patients. I aim to treat everyone as if they are my family members. I have more time and tools to help you pursue your wellness goals, and together, we can work towards a happier, healthier future more of a reality. 

Having a small, personalized healthcare practice allows for longer appointments that are typically not rushed, little to no waiting time and the ability for patients to contact me after hours for more urgent needs on my cell phone. And my MDVIP-affiliated practice, often compared to a concierge medicine practice, offers conveniences like same- or next-day appointments.

I believe that healthcare is one of the most important aspects of your life and that it is essential to have a primary care physician in the right setting to help deliver the care and attention that most patients seek. To me, the partnership between doctor and patient is critical to developing more personalized approaches to your needs and preferences. I can work more closely with you to help guide you on a path to better health as you make choices about your lifestyle habits and behaviors. As a board-certified internal medicine specialist, I can discuss acute and chronic health concerns, as well as emphasize prevention and education, with more time to coach and support you. I have special interest in chronic disease, such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia and diabetes.  

Having served as the previous chief of staff of West Hills Hospital, I have relationships with specialists to help you with your unique needs as needed. My practice is in West Hills and serves patients in Canoga Park, Chatsworth, Northridge, Calabasas, Agoura, Westlake Village, Hidden Hills, Thousand Oaks, Simi Valley, Tarzana, Reseda, Encino, Sherman Oaks and Studio City. I am affiliated with West Hills Hospital and Medical Center.

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.

My wife and I became MD/VIP members about a year ago. As a result, we switched our primary care physician to Dr. Marc Lavin. He is fantastic: informed, caring, attentive and proactive about our care. He is available whenever we need him. We are in great hands!

Doctor Lavin has been my personal physician for more than 15 years now! The reason I chose him is the reason I keep him! He's not only smart and compassionate, he's honest and I 100% trust he's giving me the same quality of care he would his family members! I hear other people's horror stories about their doctors and I know that I am so incredibly blessed to have Dr Marc Lavin!

Wants new patients by paying $2000 for a “concierge service” in addition to the insurance that will be billed. That’s insane and I have never heard of this greed before. No matter how good he is this is unethical as a care taker in my opinion.

Dr. Lavin saw me in his office a couple of hours after speaking to him on the phone. He gave me an accurate diagnosis with a sample RX & I was almost well the next a.m.! He is attentive, caring, & most knowledgeable in his field of medicine. Wonderful care & treatment by staff.

I have been a patient of Dr. Lavin for over 15 years. He is an outstanding doctor, and always gives me the time and attention that I need at every visit. Dr. Lavin is very thorough, listens to my concerns, and always follows through promptly. I know I can reach him when I have a problem, which gives me peace of mind. He has an excellent rapport with patients and is very knowledgeable. I highly recommend him as a general practitioner.

Marc Lavin has been my doctor for many years he’s absolutely the best. He’s a member of the concierge health service MdVip which only takes the best doctors to begin with and he’s the best of them. There’s never a wait, he calls you personally with lab and test results. He remembers everything about you and your health, you feel like you’re his only patient. There’s nobody better if you’re lucky enough for him to accept you as a patient.

Dr. Lavin is the best

from Evann Meg in CA • February 10, 2024
I'm terrified of blood tests. Dr. Lavin takes the time to sit with me while my blood tests are done. He understands my fears and does everything in his power to make me feel comfortable and at ease. He's always available for questions. He reminds me of what doctor patient relationships used to be. I'm grateful for Dr. Lavin.

Dr Lavin is a superior physician, and I should know, I am an MD as well. I have been in General Surgery practice in the West Hills area for 33 years, and I chose Dr Lavin as my internist. He is intelligent, caring and does the right thing- without excess. He practices the Art of Medicine, not "cookbook" care- and will do what's proper, at all times.

The quick access to Dr. Lavin is incredible.
