About Ben Prince, DO
My greatest love in practicing family medicine is getting to know my patients and providing individualized care that can be unique to them. As a board-certified family physician and former major in the U.S. Air Force, I have witnessed how limited time between doctors and patients can affect patient care and well-being. When I separated from the Air Force and started my medical practice, I aimed to build long-term, more meaningful relationships with my patients, and I saw firsthand how more time to offer personalized care - not rushed visits – can lead to trust and compassionate medicine.
I focus on comprehensive primary care and preventive medicine that helps patients as they pursue achieving and maintaining not just their health, but whole-person wellness. As your personal doctor, I have more time to talk with you, listen to your goals, and partner with you to create a unique care plan together. The annual MDVIP Wellness Program I offer includes advanced screenings and tests focused on key areas of health to help identify risk factors and issues that can be treated earlier, prevented or even reversed.
My special interests include integrative and functional aspects of medical care, including lifestyle medicine, nutrition, supplements, physical activity, behavioral health and medications when appropriate, and I incorporate those aspects with discussing a wellness plan with patients and their families. My MDVIP-affiliated practice offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices.
My private primary care practice is located in Ocean Springs, Mississippi, where my family and I proudly call home. I have relationships with specialists in the region, including in Singing River and Memorial Health Systems, and I have more time to advocate for your care.
It is a privilege to serve this wonderful coastal community that has welcomed us so warmly. I look forward to building genuine relationships, learning your stories, and working together to support you as you create a personalized path toward lasting wellness. Whether you are focused on prevention or a new condition or simply wanting a doctor who knows you more deeply, I’m excited to be your partner in 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.
