About Samuel G. Dozier, MD, FACP

I believe that a robust foundation based on trust is the key for a successful doctor-patient relationship. Having extensive experience in both a traditional internal medicine practice as well as inpatient care, I hope to utilize these skills so that we can form a plan together to keep you as healthy as possible. I will be able to draw on almost 20 years of relationships with local medical and surgical subspecialists to help facilitate any referrals you may need. As an MDVIP-affiliated physician, I truly believe that the improved quality of our visits, compared to a traditional practice, will pay off in terms of your health and well-being. My goal is to partner with you to provide personalized care in a relaxing atmosphere, while emphasizing a goal of long-term wellness. I look forward to developing lifelong relationships with each of my patients.

As an admitting and attending physician at both McLeod Regional Medical Center and the Medical University of South Carolina - Florence, I will be able to provide care for my patients both in the outpatient setting and in the hospital; when it is so important to have someone who knows the full history of the patient directing their care.

What our members are saying

As an elderly man, I began with Dr. Dozier when I was perhaps 80. I had done so, after being with my wife who is an Alzheimer victim. The comprehensive service has been especially useful, as he has focused attention on the issues which most deserve attention. So, it has provided peace of mind and a sense of being under the most appropriate care possible.

In little over a year Dr Dozier knows me better than all my previous physicians combined. I’m especially grateful for him helping me get through a period of post-op pain following knee replacement surgery when the surgeon’s conservative approach to pain management was insufficient.

Dr. Samuel Dozier is the epitome of excellence in treatment and diagnosis. I had a medical emergency last summer and from the moment I saw him in the office, he put the wheels in motion. He sent me straight to the hospital with admission orders so that i was in my hospital room within 30 minutes so that treatment could begin. He was available every day to monitor my progress and the issue was…

Dr. Samuel Dozier and his staff are outstanding. They are always available, provide fast responses to requests and so very professional. Dr. Dozier could not be any more knowledgeable. He is aware of all of my medical conditions and stays updated on medical changes and how each condition relates to the other. I could not ask for any doctor to give the time needed to hear my concerns and address…

Dr Samuel Dozier is the most caring and best doctor I have had in many years. Not only is he very thorough but in my case he immediately knew when I was on too strong a medication which has made all the difference for me and now feeling more like the active person I had been all my life. I may not be 100% yet but I am getting there and back at the gym much stronger than I ever thought I would be in these last months...thanks to Dr. Dozier making me aware of what classes I needed to take and those I should not do in the beginning but work my way back to certain exercises, which I have done!!! I was a member of our local Fitness Center for 24 years and was difficult to be out for 8 months until this past Sept 2024. I have been back on a regular basis thanks to Dr. Dozier and MDVIP!!!

Had my first visit with Dr Dozier last week. I was impressed by his preparation prior to my visit. I also left with referrals to specialists I need to visit since I'm new in town. He is a great diagnostician and I look forward to working with him in the future.

We have always enjoyed excellent healthcare. However, we relocated from out of state about 7 years ago and found this area had recently closed its local hospital. Finding a healthcare provider was difficult and we could only find a P.A that was accepting new patients. My husband had ongoing health issues and we continued to look for better healthcare. A friend recommended MDVIP. We have been extremely pleased with the care Dr. Dozier has provided. His office responds almost immediately to our calls. He is competent, compassionate and personable. He is one of the best.

Switching to Dr Dozier has been a game changer! Years ago Doctors used to spend time with you and listen. Those days are long gone. Investing in my health and wellness is important to me. Dr Dozier listens to all my issues and concerns. He helps develop a plan and accountability. He makes it easy to make my health & wellness a priority.

Dr. Dozier and Dr. Boulaware are two of the sharpest Dr.'s I have ever experienced. Particularly, their attention during my mother's recent hospital stays was valued and appreciated. I felt comfortable I had trusted Dr.'s overseeing her care.. I highly recommend the guys!

Dr. Dozier is an excellent doctor! He’s extremely knowledgeable and thorough. He always has time to address any questions or concerns I have. He made me feel really comfortable and at ease from the very first appointment. Plus, if you want a complete and thorough physical, he’s the doctor to see. He tests everything from hearing to your circulation. I’ve never had, in 71 years, such a complete checkup. It makes all my previous physicals seem kind of like a joke, and I have gotten one every single year for 40 years! If you want a doctor who’s warm, caring, and knowledgeable, he’s your man! I would be remiss if I didn’t also say that his nursing staff and office personnel are very warm and friendly too. I realize that this is a glowing review, but let me assure you, it is 100% truthful. He and I are not related, much to his relief I’m sure, and I received no monetary compensation for writing this. LOL!

Excellent friendly staff....very helpful with any questions...needs etc. Dr. Dozier is on point. Takes time to just sit and talk while doing his business.
Spends time with patient rather than just running you through like a cattle herd.

I came from Columbia and needed a very skilled internist. I'm a bit of a complex case. Dr. Dozier and his MDVIP practice are top notch. Dr. Dozier and the MDVIP staff are VERY skilled, responsive, compassionate, and make seeking healthcare a VASTLY different experience than any other care I have ever received. The care does require a membership fee, but in the grand scheme of having healthcare when needed versus saving money and being put on a waiting list for help it is well worth every dollar. If you can afford this in any way, you should subscribe to MDVIP and the model of concierge medicine. The care is available when YOU need it. It might save your life...

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.
