As MDVIP affiliates, Drs. Duggal, Lopopolo and Sungurlu each limit the size of their practice to ensure they can dedicate sufficient time and attention to each patient. This allows for in-depth follow-up, proactive health management and more engaged physician-patient interactions. Other ancillary benefits of a smaller practice include same- or next-day appointments, extended office visits and the ability to reach the doctors 24/7 by phone.

“As a family physician, I enjoy caring for patients across generations – from newborns to seniors – with attention to preventive care,” said Dr. Eena Duggal. “I have a strong interest in integrative medicine and can work with patients on incorporating complementary therapies that can further enhance their health. Joining MDVIP makes this possible, giving me the time to really listen to patients, educate on different treatment options and address any concerns they have.”

“My roles as a woman, mother and physician give me a uniquely integrated perspective on wellness, allowing me to provide medical care that is more individualized to each women’s needs,” said Dr. Christine Lopopolo. “As an MDVIP-affiliated physician, I am able to partner with patients as they work to achieve balance in mind, body and spirit, with a focus on prevention and whole-person health.”

“With a deep passion for preventive health, I focus on helping women feel empowered through deeper discussions and understanding of their unique needs, including exercise, sleep and hormonal balance,” said Dr. Heidi Sungurlu. “My goal in joining MDVIP is to offer a highly personalized women’s health practice where patients and I collaborate on establishing health goals a plan that is centered on them.”

Taking Your Health Beyond Checkups
For the annual membership fee, patients in MDVIP-affiliated practices receive a comprehensive yearly health assessment that includes advanced diagnostic tests and screenings to give a more complete view of their overall health. Using the results, the doctors provide personalized coaching and tools to help patients make healthier lifestyle choices, prevent disease and achieve their wellness goals.

Providing Lasting Impact
Studies published in peer-reviewed medical journals show that patients in MDVIP-affiliated practices experience fewer hospitalizations and readmissions, visit urgent care centers and emergency rooms less often, receive more preventive health services and have better control of chronic diseases than patients in traditional practices. MDVIP’s patient satisfaction scores and annual membership renewals consistently exceed 90%.
