Meet Robert L. Ruxin, MD

As an internal medicine physician with subspecialties in endocrinology and geriatric medicine, I am able to work proactively with my patients to help them prevent disease and live healthier, more active lives. Patients appreciate the extra time I am able to spend getting to know them on a personal level. With my small practice size, I am also able to research challenging medical conditions and personally follow up with specialists to promote quicker and better outcomes.

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.

from Krag in CT • October 18, 2015
I would like to share a story about my doctor and MDVIP. I have always valued Dr. Ruxin's availability and knowledge, but on a recent trip to Ireland I fully realized how lucky I am to have access to my doctor when I need him. Being a type one diabetic has always meant travel can be difficult, but on this trip I got very ill with a stomach virus. Dr. Ruxin worked with me and my wife to Read more...

from Jeffrey • March 26, 2017
As we live longer, the number of medical concerns we encounter seem to multiply. Sometimes they relate to what appear to be minor conditions and yet they create anxiety.

He inspires confidence and his thorough Read more...
