Dr. George

Meet Mary K. George, MD


My passion as an internal medicine physician is to provide you with personalized healthcare. I truly enjoy the practice of medicine in its purest form. As a result of my 24 years of practice, I have realized that a robust doctor-patient relationship is fundamental to a successful practice. As an MDVIP-affiliated primary care physician, I have more time to develop close relationships with my patients, carefully review records and perform comprehensive exams. Being your private doctor, we can work as a team to formulate a wellness plan that will help you achieve your health goals.  

Maintaining health and wellness, rather than treating disease, is my greatest goal. My primary care practice is located in Hoffman Estates, Illinois and focuses on women’s health, integrative health and preventive care, in addition to all aspects of internal medicine. With my additional certification in obesity medicine, I am well equipped to help my patients battle a disease that is a major risk factor for other chronic diseases such diabetes, osteoarthritis, hypertension and coronary artery disease. Similar to conveniences often associated with concierge medicine practices, I also offer same- or next-day appointments that start on time. I will work with you at each step to assist you with making informed decisions toward achieving your health goals – whether it's running your first 5K, improving your nutrition, formulating an exercise program, reducing the use of medications, or just living life to its fullest.  

As one of the few female internists serving the Northwest suburbs of Chicago offering this personalized healthcare approach, I am offering social visits to my patients when hospitalized at Alexian Brothers Hospital in Elk Grove Village and St. Alexius Hospital in Hoffman Estates. I am also pleased to offer home visits as an added benefit to patients that qualify. I look forward to empowering and partnering with my patients to achieve their health and wellness goals. I love to see their happiness when they realize that they have succeeded.

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.

Dr. George recently changed her practice into a form of even more privatized medicine. Her new practice excludes many of her patients and now you can only be her patient if you have the money for it. I thought Dr. George cared about her patients but she prioritizes the money to be made off of them. Very disappointed.

Receptionist is very rude and is a bully, Gina or Jeanne is her name. The receptionist enjoys gas lighting and frustrating people, avoid her as much as possible. She will also hang up on your when it's convenient for her and call back saying the call disconnected. If you make her angry enough, she doesn't call back. This is a concerning practice for someone who works in heathcare.

Maybe with all that extra money from the concierge practice they're going into at $1600 per patient annually, they'll hire a new receptionist.

Dr. George, is always there for me. I truly appreciate her time and attention to my needs. She spends time with you. She goes over things with you. If you need a referral they work really hard to get you one and get you in as soon as possible. Overall just a great person, doctor. Her office staff is the same.

I've been a patient of Dr George for several years and have always received excellent care. She takes the time to listen, make the right diagnosis and talk you through your treatment options. Dr George starts with advice and natural treatment, if available, before prescribing medication. I've referred several people to her and they all give rave reviews about their experience with her too. I highly recommend Dr George as an internist and primary care physician.

I am beyond impressed with Dr george. From helping me to get treatment for an autoimmune disease to making sure I am treated promptly for a common cold, Dr George is there. She is not just a physician but a humanitarian. She will be my family's doctor for a very long time. I am grateful for all that she has done for me. She deserves a 5 star rating. I can't speak highly enough about Dr george. I wrote a previous review but it was prior to being under her care for a prolonged period of time. I called on a Sunday night expecting to leave a message for Monday morning and my health concerns were tended to immediately. I am "wowwed".

From the moment you walk into Dr. George’s office, you are greeted with sincere smiles and care. Her staff go above and beyond to provide professional yet personalized care. Dr. George’s exceptional skill and genuine personality is unfounded amongst other primary care physicians in the area,. Not to mention the benefits of having same or next day appointments, effortless parking, her personal mobile number for urgent situations and non rushed yet meaningful appointments & testing.

I am her patient. The major tire meet the road factor for me & the stars in a doctor is centered on my real purpose for seeing the doctor - it is the quality(including correctness) and quantity of medical advise, diagnosis, treatment, coaching, educating... and also equally focusing on wellness, treating the cause and not only the symptom. i.e. on what I am 'wishfully buying' for my health and wellness. Not 5 star becasue I do not have any big medical issue yet to make that ultimate judgment, to be fair.

As for MDVIP or 'concierge care' she is switching to, I am inside the cross road now. I came across a figure that about 10% of the docs in the US are into that business model, and slowly growing, and the MDVIP is not on the the 'exortic end' of conciege care practices though. It is objectively frustrating for me to see that, like many, after paying thousands into insurance/ insurances, none of that money is coming back to pay for reasonably 'improved/enhanced' or value added services(healthcare related) Dr. George or the 'MDVIP practice' is providing; as well as the doctor and I can retain each other. Frankly speaking, I rather directly pay the doctor a retainer fee the doctor set that is more modest than the $1600. I hope there is such a spin/evolution to the concept someday! Well, it appears to be the reality of the 'industry' that my outlay has to become those thousands on insurance plus $1600 per year for MDVIP(an annual decision), and much outside the scope of the political soccer called 'healthcare reform'.

I share the observation on certain new staffs. They do need much much more hand holding and I hope it is a case of the 'everyone has to start from somewhere' opportunity being extended by Dr. George. Yes, it can raise my blood pressure a little but I remind myself on what I said in the first paragraph. If it affects the medical matters, then I think it cannot be justified away!

Dr. George has been my primary physician for several years. I have remained with her through her moving of office locations, even though they are not as convenient for me. But it is worth it!
The reasons why I have stayed with her for so long are:

Her compassionate and empathetic approach to her patients.
She makes you feel comfortable.
Her new office and staff are awesome.
She validates and addresses your concerns by actively listening.
She makes you feel like you are her only patient when you are there.
She is prompt with her scheduled appointments.
She is very thorough and takes the time to explain and clarify things.
She tries to get to the root of the problem and considers prevention and alternative medicine when applicable
She returns phone calls promptly, even outside office hours, if needed and requested.
Her staff is friendly, kind and professional.
I WILL REMAIN HER PATIENT AS LONG AS SHE IS IN PRACTICE!
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER! I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED!

Testimonials from patients of Mary K. George, MD

Saving my life

from Maureen in IL • February 24, 2024
I have two stories to share. Dr George literally saved my life twice. A nagging side pain finally drew my attention and I made an apt and was given a same day apt. She listened to my symptoms and pushed in my right side when I nearly jumped off the table. She immediately sent me to the ER and I had an emergency appendectomy within an hour. The next incident a couple years later brought me to her Read more...

Dr. George is a wonderful physician. She was my primary care physician for many years, but I left her practice for about 5 years.
