About Irina Borissova, MD

We already have a shared vision…our personal patient-physician communication commences now! The very fact that you are reading this, shows your sincere interest in your health and wellness. We will work together toward taking this interest and weaving it into a proactive, preventive plan, for both the present and future. My health concept envisions an emphasis on “the whole person wellness” rather than treating individual parts of the body. I look forward to be able to take the time necessary to diagnose the root causes of your specific ailments. Being raised in the natural splendor of far-east Russia, I was exposed to many natural medicinal remedies handed down to us for generations. I feel fortunate to be able to combine this background with my more than 25 years of medical experience in allopathic, functional, and natural medicine to provide you with truly personalized integrative healthcare!

What our members are saying

I truly appreciate that my Doctor takes her own time to keep up with the cutting edge medical and functional procedures. She is well versed in supplements as well as traditional pharmaceuticals. It is not easy to find a doctor with this background. I am fortunate to have found her.

I will always remember the support and compassion shown during my most difficult time of cancer diagnosis and treatment. I am grateful today for the amazing people at my doctors’ office. Dr. B was sincere and honest. She is easily available, and a listening person. A most important part of her professional practice is to understand the Christian faith. She’s the Best!!

My MDVIP doctor is Dr. Irena Borissova. In June 2023 I had a right knee replacement. I expected pain and was committed to PT and rehab. All went pretty well for a while and about three months into it I felt I was regressing. Calls to my surgeon brought more prescriptions for anti-inflammatories. I had a bakers cyst behind that knee which I had learned of following an ultrasound three weeks after…

Since becoming a patient of Dr. Irina Borissova my life has been positively changed in so many ways but in one particular way is, I have been suffering from severe itching for over 26 years and she immediately suggested ordering a blood test and the results were me getting free from that horrific condition. Thank you Dr Borissova for giving me my life back.

There is no comparsion that I can make regarding the care that I have received from Dr. Irina Borissova, MD. In all my 63 plus years with medical experiences, no other doctors have provided me with the time, attention and medical care that she has given to me these past 6 plus years. I am blessed.

I love going to Dr. B., she is so easy to talk to, and is non judgmental about my choices. I have been going to her since I moved to Beaufort 17 years ago. There are some services which I do not use (mainly because I have been a Nurse for 40+ years, and am capable of initiating services and investigating issues myself). Many of the areas where I have medical issues, obesity and osteoarthritis have been evident for many years. I have an extensive background in the Cardiovascular area and am excellent at identifying warning signs in myself and getting myself to the hospital as needed.

My husband recently passed away after a long illness and under the care of Dr. Irina Borissova and her staff. They were caring and professional beyond expectation and a pure blessing to us both. I could not have asked for better health care professionals than Dr. B , Kaitlyn and Ashley.

Dr Borissova is an excellent professional, that cares and goes beyond the normal approach to health. She listen and works with me accordingly with my personal health history and preferences. She helped me recover from digestive issues that I suffered for years doing the right exams as she listened to my stories.
I wish I had met her earlier when I was younger. Thank you Dr. Borissova! 🥰🙏🏼💜

Before joining their practice, you have an appt. to meet the doctor, discuss concerns, etc. I had 2 such appointments, they cancelled both of them. I was told the doctor would not be in the office that day. After the second cancellation, (left as a message on my phone) they never called to reschedule. I was not impressed. If I can't even get an appt to meet the doctor, are they really going to get me in the office in a timely manner if I am sick?

Dr. Irina Borrisava is an absolute marvel!!! I am 70 years, worked in surgery for years before becoming a
Medical massage therapist. I have Lyme disease,
Dr. Borrisava has researched and gone well beyond the call of duty to find the right approach to this very
Confusing and frustrating disease. She had the presence to have me tested for old Lyme. The day I was hospitalized with unusual symptoms, I urged the ER to call Dr Borrisava, and within 45 minutes she came to the ER, bringing the positive Lymes test results for old Lyme. If she had not done that, I would have been treated for the symptoms and not for the disease. I would not have gotten better at all. She researched and found Alina, which made an immediate difference for me, she arranged getting a little me free samples to help with the cost of Alina a new Lyme medication...( which is $6000.00 per month). She marries Alternative with Western Medicine approach to disease, which I appreciate more than she will ever know. Because of her approach, I have been able to keep my practice going, while fighting this disease,
For which I am very grateful. I am 70 years of age, and I love my work so much I choose not to retire as of yet. Dr Borrisava has allowed me to be able
To do just that, continue to work, help others and fight the Lymes Disease at the same time.. truly a blessing!!!!!

We love the MDVIP approach to wellness health care. We (my husband and I) have been extremely happy with Dr. Irina Borrisova. Her goal is to keep us healthy and active and to prescribe as few medications as possible. I personally don't take any prescription drugs. I do take supplements that are beneficial to my health.

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.
