What Members Are Saying

I'm an active 80-year-old scientist-engineer still working part time at Oak Ridge National Lab (ORNL). When I joined MDVIP I brought all my Gov't Medical records: 35 years at NASA & 7 yrs ORNL which Dr. G included with MDVIP to guide my preventative medicine. Altho I take no meds, he suggested 5000 IU Vitamin D3 (a bit on the high side). However, after having regular colonosopys at Mayo, often with polys, I had no more poylps with the Vitamin D3, which Dr. G expected. Another side benefit seemed to be minimal Covid impact which he also expected and our ORNL Supercomputer results also predicted. Both Dr. G & our Mayo visits reinforce my committement to exercise (swim 2-4 mi/wk), plus cycling & walking), healty meals (fruits veggies, fish, cereals but minimal meat), 8 hrs health sleep my ResMed monitors as well as Apple SleepCycle App & Health App (EKG, VO2, heart, lung exercise monitor). On each annual visit, altho I'm in great health, I bring 3-5 issues which Dr. G & I together converge on methods to address them: i.e. neck pain, ingrown toenail, groin pain. All in all my visits have been great including followup with phobe calls to Clevelend Clinic for details on annual test results which Dr. G explains in indersyandable detail. :)

During a recent follow up visit, Dr Jeff Grabenstein as how I was feeling to which I replied "great, except for a stiff neck after the carotid scan". He indicated that sometimes is the result but hang on, and walked out of the room. Returning in moments, holding a spray bottle of magnesium oil and said "let's see if this gives you any relief and sprayed one side of my neck and rubbed is briefly. We then proceeded to discuss the results of the carotid scan and discussed the way ahead. When finished that discussion, the side of the neck he had sprayed was no longer stiff. Dr Jeff proceeded to tell my why and how the magnesium oil works and then gave me a printout of several OTC options and where to purchase. Easy peasy resolution to a pain in the neck;-)

Meet Jeff Grabenstein, MD, FAAFP

I am a family physician who tries to make a difference in the lives of my patients. Utilizing a systemic approach to healthcare I believe that I can help my patients best by truly knowing who they are and what is important to them. This means that I address the cause of any complaints, devise a plan to get you back on track and provide continued counsel to empower you to become and remain well. This takes time.

As a member of my MDVIP-affiliated practice I will be able to personalize your healthcare by emphasizing prevention and wellness. The ability to obtain same day evaluations will allow timely treatments to be carried out so that more serious consequences are less likely to develop.

I share my practice with my wife, Diane Fabricius, MD. We both care for people in Oak Ridge and surrounding areas and are affiliated with Methodist Medical Center in Oak Ridge.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.
