About Samantha H. Goodman, MD

As a traditional internist born and raised in Abilene, Texas, it is a privilege to come home and take care of those that helped to grow this community and its rich traditions. My focus has always been compassionate care, respecting patient autonomy and working to really listen to what my patients are trying to tell me. By affiliating with MDVIP, I am able to take my patient-centered approach and provide personalized health care, integrating new technology and information with the humanistic tradition of medicine that has drawn me to this calling since I was a child. By combining the best of up to date medicine with an individualized patient focused wellness plan, I can help take care of people at any stage of life in a way that is meaningful to their individual values and goals.
 
I admit and round at Abilene Regional Medical Center and Hendrick Medical Center. By partnering with MDVIP, I will also be able to make nursing home rounds, inpatient rehab rounds and home visits, when appropriate. I will be able to continue complete continuity for my patients and take the time to focus on details to provide timely consults and specialized services to ensure better communication between sub-specialties.

Dr Garner is the only reason I joined MDVIP - I absolutely wanted to remain his patient. I pay the fee in order to keep access to him. He is unfailingly kind, professional, calm, and knowledgable. I have been able to reach him day or night in emergencies involving my and my elderly parents' care (they were his patients for years). He is the epitome of a family physician.

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.
