Board-Certified Internist Specializing in
Endocrinology Joins MDVIP Network, Delivering Personalized,
Preventive Care in Alpharetta and
Surrounding Communities
ALPHARETTA, Ga. and BOCA RATON, Fla., July 8, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- MDVIP, the market leader in personalized healthcare
with a network of over 1,100 physicians nationwide, today announced
that Keisha B. Ellis, MD, MBA, a
board-certified internist specializing in endocrinology, has opened
an MDVIP-affiliated primary care practice located at 3225 North
Point Parkway, Suite 103, in Alpharetta,
Georgia. Dr. Ellis, whose clinical interests include the
diagnosis and treatment of obesity, diabetes and thyroid disease,
is accepting patients who seek a more direct relationship with
their primary care doctor.
"My approach emphasizes attentive listening, open communication
and a holistic view of patient well-being," said Dr. Ellis, who
also has a background in academic medicine and research. "My goal
is for each patient to feel valued and involved in their healthcare
decisions – an experience that many people find refreshing but
missing in medicine today. Joining MDVIP allows me to spend more
time with patients, not simply addressing their symptoms but
educating and guiding them on medical conditions and treatment
options so that they can make informed choices about their
health."
Listen to Dr. Keisha Ellis
talk about bone health and body fat on WCLK Radio's 'Drive Time
With Dr. Douglass.'
As an MDVIP-affiliated physician, Dr. Ellis offers a solution to
the many frustrations that patients can experience with traditional
primary care, including long waits for an appointment, rushed
visits and difficulty getting all of their concerns addressed. By
maintaining a smaller practice, she is able to dedicate more time
with patients to focus on prevention and early detection as well as
help manage chronic conditions. Other conveniences include same- or
next-day appointments that last an average of 30 minutes and the
ability to reach Dr. Ellis 24/7.
Personalized Care
For an annual membership fee,
patients receive the MDVIP Wellness Program, a comprehensive yearly
health assessment that includes advanced diagnostic tests and
screenings to give a more complete view of the patient's overall
health. Using the results, physicians provide ongoing coaching and
tools to help patients make healthier lifestyle choices, prevent
disease and achieve their wellness goals.
Other benefits include the MDVIP Connect app and website,
which allow patients to communicate with their doctor online,
access personal health records and obtain meal plans, workout
programs and other healthcare resources. Should an emergent need
arise while a patient is traveling, physicians can help arrange
care with a local hospital, pharmacy or doctor, which may include
another MDVIP affiliate.
Proven Health Outcomes
Eleven peer-reviewed, published
studies show that patients in MDVIP-affiliated practices
have better health outcomes compared to those in
traditional primary care practices, including:
- 79% fewer hospitalizations for Medicare patients, equating to
$600 million savings in one year
- 72% fewer hospitalizations for commercially insured
patients
- 40% more patients identified at risk for cardiovascular disease
using advanced testing
