What Members Are Saying

When a dear friend recommended Dr. Mark Dodson and the MDVIP program in Corpus Christi I was a little hesitant, but that soon changed after signing up! I met Dr. Dodson and told him about my past medical history and concerns. He immediately made referrals to fellow professional specialists who saw me in short order! These recommendations were top notch Dr.’s who were awesome. They tested me for things and put my health on track to make the sudden difference in my life and gave me an outlook that I had been lacking for many years! Dr. Dodson’ staff are also quite remarkable. The front office is always on point with responsiveness to fill prescriptions and making appointments (next day if needed) They are so polite and helpful— it’s just amazing to me that medical staff is so much like I experienced 40 years ago in a small rural town. Also, of most importance is recognizing Jami Dodson FNP. she is simply the best! She makes it a point to give undivided attention and detailed care to where you’d think that you were her only patient. I cannot speak highly enough about Jami! I would recommend to anyone who is frustrated with less than proactive healthcare approach, which is the norm in many practices today, to get in the MDVIP program. It’s well worth the small cost and pays dividends in the benefit of knowing there’s a team of professionals who will make a difference in your health, life and outlook!

Wow, I can’t believe it’s been almost 8 years since I started seeing Dr Dodson. I have been through some difficult times over these past few years and honestly, now much of it seems like it went by in a blur - for a period of time I was in survival mode just trying to keep moving forward and maintain my sanity and some sense of normalcy in the midst of loss and major life changes. I know I could not have made it through without the support, guidance, and care Dr Dodson has provided me since the day he became my doctor. He is an excellent physician, he listens and actually pays attention to what is going on with his patients and treats you as an individual with focus on assessment and care specific to your needs and goals. This is the first doctors office where I have not felt like a number or one in a herd of cattle being run through as quickly as possible. They actually know who I am when I call or come in. It’s a rare find these days and I’m grateful to have Dr Dodson as my PCP. I have been so impressed by Dr Dodson and the genuine care he provides for his patients that even after I moved to another city, I still travel back to Corpus for my appointments to see him. He would be a hard act for another doc to follow and I will continue to return because I’m pretty sure anyone else I went to see after being his patient all these years would be a disappointment in comparison. Thank you Dr Dodson for keeping me healthy and sane and helping me through the ups and downs of life. You’re one of a kind and I appreciate you!

Hank and I love Dr. Mark Dodson. He is always ready to listen and take action. He doesn't delay calling for tests to ensure things are right. We have the utmost confidence in his abilities to take care of our health needs and that he'll be there when we need him. Dr. D tries to keep us on the straight and narrow path to health and wellness. He is one of the reasons we strive to be healthy people. Congratulations Dr. Dodson and we hope you'll enjoy hearing from your patients for "your special day". P.S. If and when you decide to retire, don't forget to buy a Lear Jet so you can come back to Corpus when we need you.

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.

Testimonials from patients of Mark A. Dodson, MD

One story I have is the epitome of my doctor and my MDVIP experience.

from Stan in TX • October 8, 2014

One story I have is the epitome of my doctor and my MDVIP experience. One weekend, I was lifting a dresser and herniated two discs in my back. I called Dr. Dodson on Monday morning. He saw me within two hours of my call. He ordered an MRI of my back, and I had an appointment before I left his office. I had the MRI the next day (Tuesday). By Wednesday, Dr. Dodson had reviewed the MRI, made a Read more...

My Doctor is always available, night or day. I feel like he is always on a personal level with me. I can talk to him about any problem I have.

I feel secure knowing he is my doctor.

had serious neck issues for almost 30 years from a serious whiplash.

from Carole in TX • October 11, 2014

I have had serious neck issues for almost 30 years from a serious whiplash. Since late 2000, both hands would go dead. My former doctor sent me to an orthopedic surgeon, and he recommended two fusions. I asked for a second opinion, and I received the same counsel. I could no longer use a pen for more than about two minutes. Intuitively, I knew not to do it. Then I found Dr. Dodson. On my Read more...

I became a patient of MDVIP Dr. Mark Dodson after finding I would need to go to Houston, Texas for major heart surgery.

from Mary in TX • February 20, 2015

I became a patient of MDVIP Dr. Mark Dodson after finding I would need to go to Houston, Texas for major heart surgery. Getting into my previous primary care Dr. within a two week period had become impossible and if necessary to see the Dr. Within 24 hrs I would be told to check into the emergency room and let the hospital handle it. Eg: something as simple to diagnose and treat as a UTI. The Read more...

He's attentive, caring and has the best bedside manner I've ever experienced.

from Roslyn in TX • March 12, 2016

Dr. Dodson has been my parents doc for years. They're elderly and Dr. Dodson has helped us with skill and care through many hard hospitalizations. He's cared for me and my grown children through several illnesses and conditions. He's attentive, caring and has the best bedside manner I've ever experienced. Must mention Libby, Front Desk Goddess, who is INVALUABLE & amazing.
