About John S. Kim, MD
I have been a primary care family physician at Victory Medical Center in Austin, Texas, since 1997. I have over 26 years of experience as a diagnostician, reviewing complex medical problems with empathy and compassion. I believe medicine is a blend of science and art. As your personal physician, I strive to stay up to date with the latest studies to help me discuss care options with you. In my MDVIP-affiliated practice, I have more time to get to know my patients and their personalities more deeply, which helps me partner with them to create a more personalized plan as they strive to meet their health goals. I feel people can work to manage their health more effectively if they can understand their conditions; consequently, I spend time educating my patients to help simplify complex medical jargon.
My real passion is preventive medicine. There is helpful medical knowledge available to help prevent disease, but I think it is being underutilized in the current traditional medical model. My MDVIP-affiliated practice, often compared to a concierge medicine practice, offers conveniences like same- or next-day appointments with minimal wait time. My unique practice also offers more time and tools to help my patients as they work to meet and exceed their health goals. Together we can pursue healthier results!

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.
