Medical Centers of Excellence

"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.”
                --Aristotle

We've been working hard to deliver you a program benefit that we are incredibly proud of, and one that cannot be found anywhere else.

It’s called the Medical Centers of Excellence Program, and it provides members of MDVIP-affiliated physicians privileges to a network of some of the most premiere academic institutions in the nation including:

What does this mean for you?

At this instant your membership extends beyond our network of affiliated physicians in order to maximize the use of academic prowess. It is at the Medical Centers of Excellence institutions where patient centric care, clinical research, leading edge technology, knowledge, education and teaching all unite.

Now that we are affiliated with these institutions, patients who desire a second opinion, consultation or who want to explore treatment options, have the ability for MDVIP to facilitate all of the arrangements through a formalized program. If you do visit a Medical Centers of Excellence institution, you will be given the same attention and responsiveness that you have come to expect from your MDVIP-affiliated physician.

• You will have a hassle-free experience and one-stop coordination by our staff member who will handle your records being copied and sent, pre-visit tests, appointment schedule, communication between the MCE institution and your MDVIP-affiliated physician, and more.

• We will assist you in arranging all of your travel and transportation needs and the coordination of all details for your visit.

• Additionally, if you are admitted to Cleveland Clinic, your MDVIP-affiliated physician has software that informs him of your progress in real time so he knows what your activities are and can track your care every step of the way.

Patients of MDVIP-affiliated physicians can access the Medical Centers of Excellence program through their affiliated physician.
