Similar to concierge medicine, Dr. Groene, a board-certified internist, provides her patients with fully personalized and attentive care at MDVIP in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. 

MDVIP is a national network of primary care doctors who see fewer patients so they can focus on delivering personalized medicine, patient-centered medicine and preventive care that starts with the MDVIP Wellness Program.

You will feel welcomed by the relaxed, individualized attention you will receive from everyone in our office” as stated by the doctor. 

A 1981 graduate of the Louisiana State University School of Medicine in New Orleans, Dr. Groene went on to complete her internship within the Department of Medicine at Cleveland Metropolitan General Hospital in Ohio.

Following her education, she became board-certified in internal medicine with additional qualifications in geriatrics by the American Board of Internal Medicine, which is a physician-led, non-profit, independent evaluation organization driven by doctors who want to achieve higher standards for better care in a rapidly changing world. She served as a volunteer at the Salvation Army Medical Clinic for the Homeless from 1992-1993, and on the Board of Directors at the Service Agency for Senior Citizens from 1998-2002.
