About Mousumi Chanda-Kim, MD
It is my firm belief that the ideal way to practice medicine is for the physician to create and nurture a collaborative bond with the patient. My goal is to build trust with my patients by getting to know each of them and to customize an individualized treatment plan. My hope is that patients feel heard and understand the compassion and empathy I feel toward each of them. In addition, I believe it is very important to be detail‐oriented and thorough to get to the root of the underlying problem in order to solve it. In providing personalized care, I strive to improve both the longevity and quality of life for my patients.
As a female internal medicine specialist who has been practicing in Austin, Texas for the last 21 years, I enjoy treating a diverse set of conditions from depression and hypertension to women’s health issues. Moreover, my real passion is preventive care and wellness, focusing on uncovering underlying conditions in their early stages before they become full blown. I look forward to focusing on prevention in my MDVIP‐affiliated practice. I also offer conveniences, like same- or next-day appointments that start on time, which may be found in concierge medicine practices. When the patient and the physician work together as a team, the results can be a wonderful life with great health!

What our members are saying
When I joined MDVIP I had expectations and, happily, what I received was beyond what I thought I needed. It worked out so well that when my mother moved here to live with us, she enrolled too. My husband’s primary doctor retired and when he saw how available for us Dr. Chanda-Kim was and what good care we were receiving, he joined too. We’ve needed our doctor more in the past year than I could…

Dr. Chanda-Kim has been my GP for over 20 years. One experience that comes to mind is when she discovered I had hypothyroidism. I had been feeling so tired and not at all like myself. She is very thorough and one of my blood tests showed that I had hypothyroidism. When she put me on the right amount of Synthroid I felt so much better. She also takes the time to discuss every test result that she…

My doctor, Dr. Chanda-Kim has run interference for me on 3 separate, serious health issues. I have appreciated her availability particularly after hours. I have followed her to 5 separate offices with hope of her having landed for good at her current office. She is the quintessential physician.

I was an ICU nurse where my doctor did her residency. When I needed a PCP one of the pulmonologists I respected recommended Dr. Chanda-KIm as she was finishing her residency . I've been going to her ever since. She is super smart and always takes her time with me.

I have had a membership with the MDVIP for much longer than a decade. When our previous MDVIP doctor retired and Dr. Chanda-Kim took over his practice, we chose to remain with MDVIP and became patients of Dr. Chanda-Kim.
On January 23, 2026, I went to a minor emergency center for a lingering cough and malaise. I requested a chest X-ray and the report showed pneumonia in my right lung Zithromax was prescribed. Upon an early afternoon discharge from the center, I emailed Dr. Chanda-Kim my X-ray report and then called her. When I told her that I had pneumonia, she replied, "You sure do". She asked me no questions regarding my symptoms, nor did she want me to come to her office to be checked. From then on, she became unavailable to me. I was really ill. I was not able to get any help with treatment when I called the office of Dr. Chanda-Kim on a few occasions. Her office staff (not medical professionals) repeatedly told me to go to the hospital. I said “No”which was my right. I felt that hospitalization was not in my best interest. It had always been my understanding that one of the purposes of MDVIP is if possible to avoid hospitalization. Since Dr. Chanda Kim never assessed me in person, she had no way to determine whether I could safely remain at home or if hospitalization was actually advisable. She didn't know whether my pneumonia was bacterial or viral. Something was amiss between the doctor and myself, which I could not make sense of. I thought we previously had a good relationship. I did not request a call back from her because I was too sick to be an advocate for myself. Shocked by her behavior as a doctor of internal medicine, I waited until I was strong enough to advocate for myself. Fortunately I had a daughter visiting me at the time of my illness. My daughters are not health professionals but they communicated long distance and worked on a medical plan for me to remain home. It was their suggestion that I be ordered a nebulizer with albuterol. I asked for an order and did receive it.
When I felt well enough, I called Dr. Chanda-Kim's office and told the staff how unhappy and shocked I was by her refusal to simply act like my doctor. It was then that Dr. Chanda-Kim finally called me back. She told me that she wanted the hospital to assess my condition. I responded that this was HER job. That was the reason my husband and I originally joined MDVIP. I am a polite person, assertive, not aggressive so I never crossed the line of rudeness. I told her that she betrayed me as my doctor. At the finish of our conversation, she said that she would not be able to serve as my doctor in the future which I did not need her input to figure that out. Her expectation was that I would have a new doctor within 30 days but that if I had any urgent medical concerns before then, she would be willing to see me. She sent me a certified letter saying the same thing. Whether to laugh or cry over that statement was the question since I was just recovering from an urgent medical need. She also informed me that she had a waiting list for patients wanting her as a doctor inferring that I was easily replaceable.
What Dr. Chanda-Kim did not recognize is that hospitals are not always the best solution for pneumonia. I knew that staying in my own clean home would be healthier and safer for me than a hospital where I could have been cross infected. She also didn't take into account that I have lived for 84 years and I just might know what is not in my best interest. Ignoring this fact was disrespectful of me on her part. I am now recovered enough to write this review. She was clearly punishing me for not obeying her staff’s orders.
My membership with MDVIP has cost me out of pocket $487.50 every 3 months.
My membership card states:
*"Reachable 24/7/365"
*"Same Day or Next Day Visits".
Neither of those criteria were met by Dr. Chanda-Kim.

I made an appointment with this provider based on a recommendation from a colleague for skin rejuvenation. I just completed my first visit and the staff and physician did not disappoint. I was greeted upon entrance and the staff punctual, knowledgeable and friendly (often get 2 but don't usually don't get all 3 things)!
Dr Chanda-Kim was thorough and explained everything clearly and answered all my questions. I am happy to have found this clinic for my skin care needs. Highly recommended!

I am pleased with how much time Dr. CK is always willing to spend with me. She answers every concern that I bring with me to our appointments. She also responds to emails the same day! I also enjoy the educational presentations she gives occasionally. Overall, my experience with Dr. CK is outstanding! I don’t think I can ever go back to a “regular” doctor.

I have been a patient of Dr Chanda - Kim for 12 years. She is the best I have ever had. She is the reason I joined MDVIP. If it wasn't for her I probably wouldn't be a member of MDVIP. It is very expensive, but Dr Chanda - Kim is worth it.

Thank you Dr. Chandra-Kim for too many things to mention in a Google review. Let me sum up that I truly feel taking care of and that you hear me and respond with advice and planning based on how I want to manage my health. I know how privileged I am to receive a level of care where my doctor is brilliant and listens and knows me.
Your expert and efficient staff meets the same level of excellence with every engagement. My granddaughter (5) came along for my blood work this round and the tech explained the procedure as she went and even endured she could see everything as it happened. The care is certainly worth the cost. Thank you!

In fairness to Dr Chanda-Kim she bought the practice during my treatment for the staph infection. It was the doctor who previously owned the practice that I interacted with early in the infection. The office staff was transferred with the practice. My complaint is not with either doctor. It’s with the office staff who didn’t know which patient is MDVIP & didn’t know the benefits that the patient is paying for. The survey was hard to answer as Dr Chanda-Kim was not involved. My interaction with her has been totally positive & helpful.

I've been a patient of Dr. Chanda-Kim for over 10 years because she is one of the very few doctors that I have visited who seems genuinely interested in my health. She never rushes through an exam with me and thinks to inquire about health issues that I may not have mentioned, in order to get all the bases covered. She is thorough and seems very knowledgeable, answering my questions without having to "get back to me on that". She was highly recommended to me by a trusted friend, and I highly recommend Dr. Chanda-Kim to anyone looking for a general physician or internal medicine doc.

Dr. Chanda-Kim is absolutely wonderful. I've struggled to find another Primary Care Physician that truly CARES about their patients, as she does. She's been my Doctor for over 12 years and I hope she'll continue to be as long as she can! Her bedside manner is caring, she listens and cares. Did I mention, she actually listens to what I have to say! :) I highly recommend seeing her if you need to see a doctor!

Dr Chanda-Kim is great.....the only issue I have had is it is extremely difficult to get into see her even as an existing patient. Her nurse has told me to go to the ER but I hate to do that if I just need antibiotics or something like that. I would think existing patients could get squeezed in or even see another dr in that practice if they need to.

I've been seeing Dr. Chanda-Kim for more than 15 years and I think she's just great. She's always willing to take the time to talk in depth about my health issues and has a kind and direct manner. She's very thorough and never makes me feel rushed. When she moved her practice from Austin to Kyle, I was fine with driving the extra 20 minutes -- it's worth a little extra drive time to see a doctor I really trust.
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.
