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.

Testimonials from patients of David R. Carver, MD
I have been a patient of Dr. Carver for 13+ years.
from Yvette in LA • February 6, 2014
I have been a patient of Dr. Carver for 13+ years. He has always been very attentive and listens to your concerns as a patient. He was a very thorough doctor which is why I moved to MDVIP when he joined. When I started seeing Dr. Carver was health, weight and overall knowledge to my own health was not good. Seeing him has vastly improved all of that!!! I have recommended him as a General Read more...
Congratulations Dr. Carver!
from Jean in LA • October 8, 2014
Congratulations Dr. Carver! I am thrilled that you have been recognized as one of the Best Doctors, something I can attest to and have known for over 25 years. One of the things that I appreciate about Dr. Carver is that the last two years he has treated me without being compensated by my insurance company. Because he is a MDVIP, the insurance company refused to recognize him as my provider Read more...
Dr. Carver has played an important positive difference in my health
from Dianne M in LA • March 6, 2018
My doctor, Dr. Carver has played an important positive difference in my health and well being. To show just how much he cares for his patients, I contacted him by e-mail last year on some issues I were experiencing that had me worried with concern. Lo and behold I heard back from Dr. Carver and he informed me that he and his family were on vacation, to me that meant a lot that he stepped away Read more...
I became a patient with Dr. Carver around 1990, His practice grew from a small one to a very large practice.
from Greg in LA • February 5, 2014
I became a patient with Dr. Carver around 1990, His practice grew from a small one to a very large practice. It was not unusual to have to wait an hour in the waiting room and an additional 30 minutes once in the patient room to see him. His staff seemed to be under stress and over burdened all the time.
Since joining MDVIP, I rarely have to wait in the waiting room, in fact his staff is Read more...
