Southern Family Medicine Statesboro

Dear Patient,
We want to take a moment to clear up some confusion regarding recent communications you may have received about Dr. Glen Dasher’s upcoming changes in practice.
After more than 27 years of caring for patients at Southern Family Medicine, Dr. Dasher has decided to affiliate with MDVIP, a national program that allows physicians to provide more personalized, wellness-focused care. Through MDVIP, Dr. Dasher will be able to spend more time with each patient and offer in-depth evaluations of key health areas such as weight, metabolism, diabetes risk, nutrition, cardiovascular health, sleep, and emotional well-being.
In addition, MDVIP membership offers conveniences including:
Same- or next-day appointments
Longer appointment times
Telehealth visits
Direct access to Dr. Dasher after hours and on weekends

There is a membership fee required to participate in the MDVIP program. Some patients have understandably been concerned that this might be a scam. Please be assured that this is not the case. MDVIP is a reputable, established program, and this change reflects Dr. Dasher’s desire to both serve his patients more personally and make changes in his own life after decades of very busy practice. More information can be found at www.mdvip.com/glendashermd.

We also want to make it very clear:
This change applies ONLY to Dr. Glen Dasher. No other Southern Family Medicine providers are affiliated with MDVIP. If you want to continue seeing Dr. Dasher, you will need to join the MDVIP program.

If you choose not to join, you do not need to leave Southern Family Medicine. You may continue your care with any of our other providers in either of our offices.

We are fortunate to have a strong team of providers who are ready to care for you:

Statesboro Office:
Thomas J. Miller, MD
Luke Krautter, MD
Robin Moye, FNP
Katelyn Clifton, FNP
Jordyn Lewis, FNP
Kacy NeSmith, FNP

Claxton Office:
Thomas J. Miller, MD
Heather Lewis, PA
Michala Dollar, FNP

We know this change may feel unexpected, but please be assured that you will continue to have access to high-quality, compassionate care at Southern Family Medicine. If you have any questions, please call our office, we are happy to help explain your options and make this transition as smooth as possible.

Thank you for trusting us with your health care.
Warm regards,
Southern Family Medicine

📢 Important Office Update : EHR Cloud Upgrade

Southern Family Medicine will be upgrading our electronic health record (EHR) system to a cloud-based platform over the holiday weekend, from Thursday, July 3rd through Saturday, July 6th.

🔹 We will remain OPEN on Thursday, July 3rd for:
* Acute sick visits
* Prescription refills
* Lab draws
* Nurse visits

Due to limited access to our system during the upgrade, we will not be able to send prescriptions electronically. All refills will be provided on paper or called in directly to your pharmacy. We kindly ask for your patience during this time.

💡 Why this upgrade matters:
This new cloud-based system will allow us to:

* Access hospital records faster
* View consult notes from specialists more efficiently
* See your prescription fill history in real time

We’re excited for the improvements this will bring to your care and appreciate your support as we make this transition.
