About Debra A. Fast, DO

My passion as an internal medicine physician is to provide you with highly personalized healthcare with an emphasis on wellness and disease prevention. I have always treated my patients as I would want my own family members to be treated, and will continue to do so as an MDVIP-affiliated physician, in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. As a practicing internal medicine physician for nearly 20 years, you will benefit from the full extent of my education, expertise, wisdom and compassion. I also have always prided myself on being a great listener and feel that this quality will continue to be very beneficial as I work with you, side by side, toward creating and meeting your health and wellness goals.

Over the last 20 years, as I have grown in my profession, it has become quite obvious to me the importance of good nutrition and exercise in disease prevention. My passion is to educate my patients on diet and exercise and motivate them to use these tools to prevent disease and improve overall health and well-being. I also have a special interest in cardiovascular health, diabetes, hypertension and aesthetic medicine. I have done highly advanced training in Botox and facial aesthetic fillers and enjoy using these as anti-aging tools.

I look forward to providing you with highly personalized healthcare, and being the personal physician that you can trust and rely on to provide you with the best healthcare possible. My internal medicine practice is located in Wooster, Ohio. I am affiliated with Wooster Community Hospital. My practice services several surrounding counties including Wayne, Holmes, Ashland, Medina, Summit and Stark.

What our members are saying

On Nov.10.2021 we got the devastating news my husband Paul had pancreatic cancer. As Dr. Fast shared the news with tears in her eyes and holding Paul's hands. I collapsed into tears. The first report said to call in hospice probably only had weeks. But with her help she got us into a great Oncologist. Paul lived another 18 months and lived to see 2 more grandbabies. We could never have…

Dr Fast has always been a great doctor for me, even before she joined MDVIP. But, she is no longer as confined to some “rules” she had to follow before. I have a lot of autoimmune diseases as well as having a prior broken back that had healed but led to much pain and difficulties resulting in surgeries and such. Other dr’s treated just in their face symptoms and I was “getting by”. She looked at…

Happy Doctor Appreciation - Dr. Fast! I want to thank you for your encouragement over the years. I was so very happy with my lab results at my wellness visit this year. Together we have worked to improve my health. It was a time of celebration!! Thank you for helping me make a wonderful plan to improve my health. I want you to know how I appreciate you as my MDVIP Doctor since 2017. God Bless You…

Dr. Fast is awesome. She has treated me for several years and I sure like how she treats my aliments. She lets no aspect of the ailment untouched. So thorough in her assessment of my problem. She orders tests and Rx that are related to my ailment. She is the best.

Dr Fast is a compassionate doctor who works hard to get to the root cause of medical issues. I appreciate her attentiveness and willingness to investigate deeper when bloodwork or test results aren’t up to par. She is willing to take the time to go the extra mile and look at all information before making recommendations. I am grateful to call Dr. Fast my doctor!

Dr. Fast & her staff have been extremely professional during my interactions with them in person & on the phone. Even when we’ve been out of town, which has only been once that I can recall, she was quick to respond to a text with a phone call & followed up later in the day with another phone call. Dr. Fast goes above & beyond to advise & make recommendations about my health concerns & is extremely current on all the latest medical information & research.
She has been a godsend!!

I have never had a more caring doctor than Dr Fast. She is always there for me, she answers all of my questions at each of my appointments and inbetween. She makes sure I understand everything before I leave. She never rushes me and I have never felt like a number or less than; I have her undivided attention. She listens and she hears me. I feel this is rare in today's medical profession. I feel very lucky to have her.

Dr. Fast has been my Primary Care Doctor for many years. She is competent, compassionate, is thorough in exams and is amazing at tracking down solutions to any health issues. I'm able to get same day appointments or an answer to any problem very quickly. In 2016 she became an MDVIP doctor. Every year we have a Wellness Exam. Lab work is done that is so comprehensive: we learn much more about the inflammation in our body and advanced lipid testing shows more about risk and presence of disease than routine lab work. When results are in Dr. Fast formulates a plan for the patient to follow to optimize their health. All the testing gives you a metabolic age, in 2016, my health age was 48, 2021 I'm 45! I'm living proof, that when you have a doctor, like Dr Fast, who gets all the information she needs to optimize your health and coaches you to make the necessary changes...YOU will become a healthier person!

My experience with Dr Fast has been filled with amazing changes.
With her guidance, encouragement and friendship my physical and mental outlook has improved.
Am proud of myself for making the necessary changes to improve my life.
Dr Fast doesn’t outwardly demand me to have a sense of accountability. However for the first time in my life I demand it of myself.
Dr Fast gives my options of care, we discuss and determine the best game plan.
She understands my drive to staying healthy, both physically and mentally fit. It’s my life.
My motivations are my husband, adult son and daughter (in-laws as well).
An my granddaughter and grandson.
They are all my precious gifts from God.
Dr Debra Fast, thank you for being my physician and friend!

My husband & I started going to Dr. Fast shortly after she came to Wooster. I think she is a wonderful Dr. She found my husband heart issue on his first appointment. Sent him for an stress test that he failed, sent him on to Akron for a heart cath, they found 4 blockages. They did surgery 2 days later, all went will. The heart Dr. said he did not really think he had a heart attach, but what ever Dr. Fast saw on his first appointment EKG probably saved his life. I think she is so easy to talk to, she takes time to understand you. We have moved to Fl now so we had to find new Dr's down there.

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.
