What Members Are Saying

I have been a patient of Dr Deckert for over 20 years so she knows me quite well. When she went with MDVIP, she allowed me to be on a scholarship in order to stay with her. Recently after the sale of my home, I became a paying member of MDVIP as I felt the annual exam was well worth the fee and staying with Dr.Deckert. Dr. Deckert knows me so well and that I am a worrier. Recently, I was having some discomfort under my left breast and left shoulder going on for a week. Had I been on my own, I would have gone to Urgent Care and probably would have been worked up for cardiac problems. She acknowledged that she knew me well, a worrier and told me that it sounded more like a skletal-muscle problem. It was the weekend and told me to make appointment to see her the up coming week. On Monday, I went in for a massage which really helped. I text her the following day and told her that. She knew me so well and physician & personnel at Urgent Care didn't which saved me from going to Urgent Care and a cardiac work up.

I'm a brand new patient, so this is all new to me. One outstanding quality of MDVIP and of my doctor, Patricia Deckert, is the thorough and detailed attention to my health I have seen so far. My first physical was more thorough than I have ever experienced, and Dr. Deckert spent a full hour going through and interpreting lab results. I'm in very good health, but had a few worries that were completely cleared up in that one visit.

Patient of Patricia K. Deckert, DO

Dr. Deckert is always available when I need an appointment, a call and even a simple prescription refill. I've never had a physician able to respond so quickly which makes me feel cared for. The appointments a very personable and puts me at ease. I get very stressed at the doctors office and Dr. Deckert is always patient with me and I can feel myself calm down and be very present in the appointment. She cares and that type of Doctor is super hard to find!

Meet Patricia K. Deckert, DO

Since opening my own medical practice in 2001, it has been my goal to educate, guide and empower individuals in maintaining or restoring their health. Rather than only treating disease, it has always been my mission to decrease the risk of future health problems allowing each person to reach their individual wellness potential.

It is my belief that we have the knowledge today to reverse the trend of chronic disease by using cutting-edge research and combining the best of conventional medicine with the thought leaders in the fields of nutrition and lifestyle medicine. It is my honor and privilege to listen and work together in partnership with my patients to achieve their health goals based on their unique needs.

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.

Dr. Deckert is the absolute best. She literally saved my life.
Know one knew what was wrong with me. I was depressed, exhausted, randomly fainting and had to quit my job.
I told an aquintence of mine about my condition and she highly recommended Dr. Deckert. I made an appointment immediately.
Dr. Deckert discovered I was in Adrenal Crisis, testing showed I had almost zero hormones after I went into menopause.
Deckert was a shocked as I was and wondered how I was functioning at all.
It took about 6 months to get me to normal, with a combination of medications and vitamins and minerals.
She is extremely attentive, listens and tries the most natural, holistic (meaning whole body, whole person) approaches as possible with a combo of medications.
I will never be able to thank her enough for saving my life.
She gets the highest possible recommendations from me, and I encourage every person to make an appointment with Dr. Deckert.

Only accepting the most expensive insurance to extract the most money, on top of giving the PRIVILEGE of not being rushed and doing her job satisfactorily by forcing you to pay an extra yearly membership fee. I guess us normal people or, gasp, the poor aren't good enough to care for.

Dr. Patricia Deckert is an extremely knowledgeable and incredible physician! I Rodger, Dale Monette wants to express to everyone that Dr. Patricia Deckert will go the extra mile and whatever it takes to ensure that you’re comfortable and doing well and being healthy and able to have a good quality of life when nobody else gives a damn!!! I found out today that a lot of people could care less how I feel and what I’m going through. All I can say is Dr. Deckert has never let me down. I trust nobody else but her I’m 70 years old and because of her, I’m still able to work and function and have a good quality of life, everybody else thinks she’s doing too much for me and as far as I’m concerned, everyone else can jump in the lake. All I can say is Dr. Deckert is a person of much compassion and walks the walk and talks the talk of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

I do not normally leave reviews, and negative ones at that.

I just thought it was important to note the contents of this review. My husband and I were both patients at her previous practice New Beginnings / Metabolized health for YEARS. (3+) We loved all of the Doctors at this practice and felt very happy with their care. The reason I am giving one star is that the practice dodged our phone calls for months, kept saying they would call us back with updates, and then closed down with no noticed.

I randomly called back again to be told that Dr.Deckert now had her own practice and it was a very EXPENSIVE monthly membership. The receptionist was very nice but beating around the bush instead of just telling me that we need to find new primary care. I understand that things happen, however, an entire new practice doesn’t just happen overnight and I wish there was more consideration for the people who put their lively hood in your hands.

The total disregard for their patients and their well being was very shocking and disappointing. I hope going forward you do better.

I've been a patient of Patricia Deckert's for many years. Her approach to wellness is exactly what I want and has been hard for me to find with other providers. Dr. Deckert has complete familiarity with conventional treatments and medications and doesn't hesitate to recommend one if she believes it's the best approach. Additionally, Dr. Deckert has a wealth of knowledge regarding supplements and naturopathic remedies and will favor that approach over conventional drugs, if she knows it will be effective. At New Beginnings Health Care, she has carved a portion of her space out as a Nutrition Center, and has a variety of vitamins and supplements available. Her naturopathic recommendations have helped me reduce my cholesterol, deal with a variety of aging challenges, and have helped me get more restorative sleep. She's a great primary care provider who is truly concerned, knowledgeable and effective with wellness issues. I couldn't recommend her more highly.

It was a matter of luck that I chose Dr. Deckert as my doctor, many years ago. When she entered the MDVIP program, I was hesitant to continue under her care. But following her into the MDVIP program was one of my best decisions ever. The quality of care and the time she gives her patients is remarkable. In my mind she is a genius; always staying on the cutting edge of everything to find solutions for her patients. Dr. Deckert goes the extra mile x 10. In addition to her excellent care, she cares deeply for her patients and all they are going through in their personal lives. I feel truly blessed to be under her care.

Dr Deckert is truly the best Dr. I’ve ever had. She always has my best health as a priority. I originally found her while I was going through early menopause in 2006. I had many doctors tell me it was in my head, and I was just imagining my symptoms. Dr Deckert took the time to listen to my symptoms & run tests that your regular big box hospitals will not do. Because of the correct tests that were done, I was able to get the correct treatment for the condition that I had and feel better. She’s always on the cutting edge of medicine, but approaches me, the patient, conservatively and soberly. What a great combination. She is a genius. Almost 20 years later, she’s still my doctor guiding me towards the best life that I can have. I look forward to another 20 years with her. I highly recommend Dr Deckert.

She is knowledgeable as one would expect, but she is also very kind. I believe she cares about me and my health, and she takes time to make sure I understand what is going on.

I’ve been treated by Dr. Patricia deckert for over 18 years. She’s an exceptional physician and D.O.
Her expertise in hormones including thyroid problems surpasses anyone I’ve ever gone to. Her treatments to any of my problems that may arise are affective. I like that she knows how to think outside the box. I find that most physicians don’t. They are limited in their ability to get beyond prescription drugs and limited western practices. Dr Deckert is a very smart, well read, and a diligent researcher that makes her effectiveness as a doctor outstanding.
