Meet Greg Flippo, MD


The best possible medical practice from a patient’s perspective is one where the physician takes their many years of clinical experience and the absolute latest scientific technology then combines it with a philosophy of small practice size allowing both highly personalized and ultra-modern care. MDVIP uniquely allows these ingredients to come together to create the perfect recipe for good health. My mission is to individualize each patient's treatment plan to meet their personal needs, goals and lifestyle. I will continue to diagnose and treat my patients' acute illnesses with the latest in-office technology. But I will now be able to combine addressing their immediate needs with planning to maintain and improve their health for years to come.

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.

Very patient oriented. Previous Dr group made me feel like I was in a cattle car being pushed thru with only a minute to talk to doctor. Yearly exam is very thorough with as long a time as you need to go over it and make a plan for future if needed. Staff is very friendly and professional. Almost feel like family.

Dr. Flippo has been a life saver. Before I started seeing him I had several other doctors who could not figure out how to help me. He has helped me in so many ways and I would highly recommended him to anyone. His office is very welcoming including staff. He has worked with me to get a healthy lifestyle and figure out the best treatment for me. He is very knowledgeable in several Fields of medicine. Also, his bedside manner as well as willingness to work with his patients has kept me visiting him. I would recommend Dr. Flippo to anyone who is looking for a doctor to truly invest in their longtime health.

I was a patient of Dr. Flippo a few years prior to his practice joining MDVIP and was glad to see him able to reduce his patient load. He is a tremendous physician with a terrific staff, but in his words, he was not able to give the time and care to his patients with so many waiting. He does spend more time in my attendance and I receive more information of my healthcare. He and his staff are much less stressed and I have come to know them on a more personal level, which makes my visits less stressful for me. The MDVIP program has afforded me more time to discuss supplements and healthy habits, things you normally don't get to discuss with physicians that are attending to a great number of patients. I look at my MDVIP membership as an added insurance policy, except I get to use this one in current time to prevent medical problems. Health insurance programs lay dormant until things go wrong and you suffer greater damage because you weren't following a wellness program.

I luv Dr Flippo and his staff always there for me weekends day/nights u get what u pay for and for myself and my husband that means being sure we will have agood Dr an Dr Flippo has been my husband's only Dr since the early 80's when he 1st came to our small hometown. . I never really needed a Dr much until emergency back surgery and saw how badly i needed a good Dr then also found out how a person left with chronic nerve damage from surgery gets thrown around in area we live in after the last time i had a Dr retire or move pratice my husband said u can make it to see Dr Flippo i was afraid my back ect health would not allow me to drive so far but it was best move we could have made . My husband is not young and has health issues and i am well besides all the damage left from my emergency back surgery 20 years sgo my nerves not just the ones in lower half of my body but my nerves like i worry ALOT about most everything and seeing how Dr Flippo is same age as my husband i worry he will retire soon. And this frightens me i do not like change for any reason . I have problems not just in my body but with sll my fears . In past i have been to Dr's specialist for problems only to find that it made me worse . So my only fear /concern/thoughts about Dr Flippo an his staff r that i am so much happier having him as our Dr . I guesss i have said way to much but u asked me and i told u honestly. Thank You

Dr Greg Flippo and MDVIP have surpassed all of my expectations. Dr Flippo and his team have always delivered very professional service and pays attention to what you have to say. I Love the program. With all the insurance regulations and insurance companies doing all they can to cut Doctors fees its very difficult to get great care in a timely manner these days. You get Excellent care in a timely manner with Dr Flippo and his team. Ive been a patient of Dr Flippos for many years way before MDVIP. He and his team have always been Excellent. But with the MDVIP program its even better. You get so much more than just a great doctor. So many people are so strapped financially and struggles with getting excellent care. I highly recommend signing up and giving the program a chance. The fee involved is extremely low for what all you get. Just DO IT!

Getting on board with Dr. Flippo and his MDVIP program was the best thing I ever did for my health care and the cost is well worth the annual fee I pay.

03/08/2023 Mr. Officer
Have been with him for twenty years. He is absolutely the best primary care physician I have ever had in my 50+ yrs of life. His new MDVIP practice is absolutely fabulous. The yearly fee he charges allows him to keep his practice to a workable size and give you the private doctor experience. No rushed visits, no waiting for a week for an appointment. Next day if not same day appointments. I called yesterday 3/7/23 and got in today 3/8/23 with my choice of times. No crowded waiting room. I have never been in there with more than two patients in the waiting room. Twenty-FIVE hour access. You have a personal cell phone that you can text or speak to him at any hour. I have called him as late as 10PM and he has answered, diagnosed me and sent a script to a 24hr pharmacy. His knowledge and bedside manor are above reproach. None of us like to go to the doctor and myself being a Class IV heart patient have seen my share and really do not hold most in favorable regards, let alone high regard like I do Dr. Flippo. He is aces in my book. Once when I had pneumonia he admitted me to the hospital from his office when I called from home and came to visit and make sure I was being treated correctly when he closed his office for the day. I was in shock when he walked in my room. When I got to the hospital I was treated with first class service like I was a VIP. If you think it does not make a difference when you have a personal physician admit and care for you in a hospital then you have not been in a hospital. The difference is night and day..! The fee he charges pales in comparison to the level of service that you receive. I had heard of Concierge Physicians but never dreamed I would have or could afford to have one. Now that I do I could not go back. I was on the fence when he started this type of care but now I would climb a fence to get to this level of service. How much is your health, your family's health worth???
And No..! I do not work for him nor am I related to him. I am just extremely grateful to have his service and him as my primary care physician.

I think Dr. Flippo is great. He is very knowledgeable and open about the most current research in the area of my health that I visit him for. A lot of doctors are stuck in the 1980's when it comes to this, but Dr. Flippo is up to speed in this area. I was not rushed at all, he was very thorough and offered several methods of treatments, carefully explaining the pros & cons of each. He made sure I understood all the options (pros & cons) and let ME decide which path I wanted to take as it pertained to my health. I will continue to use Dr. Flippo as long as he is practicing.

DR. Flippo always has my best interest at heart and is involved with my physical fitness regiment. Sometimes he may not understand everything that I bring to his attention, but he really tries to relate and understand why I put myself through the type training I go through. I want to be the best version of myself and get better every year. Greg seems to understand this and guides me on a path to success.
