About Samuel E. W. Johnsen, MD

As a primary care physician affiliated with MDVIP, my practice of medicine has shifted back to a more personalized model where the main focus is your healthcare needs and goals, with a strong emphasis on prevention and overall wellness. The MDVIP model of care creates a more relaxed atmosphere allowing us the time to explore your medical history in depth and together we can formulate a detailed action plan to help you move towards your personal healthcare goals. I also offer conveniences, like same- or next-day appointments that start on time, which may be found in concierge medicine practices. 

I am pleased to bring over 25 years of experience practicing internal medicine to my MDVIP-affiliated primary care practice located at Laule'a Health Center in Lahaina, Maui. Promoting healthier lives through personalized medicine.

I cut the tips off two of my fingers and Dr Johnsen took me in immediately when I walked into the office. Being still in somewhat of a shocking state, he and his staff calmed me enough to drive to the emergency room. Of course he asked if I wanted an ambulance, but after he treated me at his office and calmed down, I was okay to drive. I then recieved a call the next day to see how I was doing .…

Dr. Johnsen is, quite simply, the best doctor I have ever had, and I have had some good ones. His knowledge of his field is extraordinarily impressive; it runs both broad and deep. His explanation of medical issues is likewise clear, concise and readily understandable. He is, flat out, a superb physician. I couldn't be happier with my care.

I have not been with MDVIP long, but whether through the pandemic or through the Lahaina fire that destroyed his office and equipment and forced him to seek alternative temporary space for his practice, Dr. Johnsen was always available. But what I appreciate the most is that Dr. Johnsen listens carefully, spends the time needed to understand my situation and needs, and then takes the most…

After the Lahaina fires, Dr. Johnsen and team who lost their office and some of the staff lost their homes, set up shop quickly in temporary conditions to continue to provided needed services. Only those of us in Lahaina know how tough those days were and how extraordinary of an accomplishment this was and how thankful his patients are for this effort. Thank you to a wonderful team. You are…

As a retired RN, I've been satisfied to be a patient of Dr Johnsen for the last 5 years even before being a a member of MDVIP group.
He is very compassionate, professional and thorough with clinic visits and phone calls, and well informed of any subject concerning my health.
I can easily access his services without the long wait.
Thank you Dr Johnsen and your staff for satisfyingly meeting my health needs.

I can always rely on Dr. Johnsen to be reached within a reasonable time during and after office hours. When needed, Dr. Johnsen will usually be available for office appointments the same day I call his office. Dr. Johnsen has been my primary care physician for fourteen years and I always feel he cares about me and will spend enough time with me during appointments. I feel fortunate to have him as my physician.

I really like being able to see Dr. Johnsen for an illness like COPD that I have as soon as I feel an episode coming on. I can get in the day I call or the very next day. That saves me a trip to the ER.

Dr. Johnsen has been my primary care doctor for over 20 years and I would follow him all over this island if he decided to move. He is the most caring, sincerest, gentle and thorough doctors there ever was. Reachable 24/7 and I can vouch for that, and gives you the answers you need to hear.. so very caring and never rushing you out for the next patient. Always taking the time to explain everything about your lab results, X-rays, or any procedures you’ve had done. He’s called me at home to find out how well I was doing after getting treatment from him, and even called me after a recent surgery that was done by another doctor to see if I was doing ok. Dr. Samuel Johnsen is the very best of the best in the world of physicians., bar none!

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.
