Dr. Tamayo

Meet Raul E. Tamayo, MD


From the time I was 6 years old I remember being totally fascinated by medicine as I frequently visited (or escaped to) a clinic next to my grandparents’ home. As a primary care internist my goal and passion has been to partner with my patients and deliver quality medical services in a highly personal and compassionate manner. For over 30 years of practice, I have enjoyed the privilege and responsibility of being the primary care physician to so many wonderful patients. I feel very grateful and blessed for this confidence and the wealth of knowledge and experience it has provided to me.

I have decided to change my current practice to a more personalized model of adult primary care medicine, concentrating on wellness and prevention, yet also engaging in early detection and intensive management of multiple conditions and diseases. Over the last 12 years, I have received additional training in functional-integrative medicine combining expertise from both traditional internal medicine and functional-integrative medicine into my practice. I strongly believe that combining expertise in both of these areas of medicine continues to make me a more complete physician.

As a result, I have affiliated with MDVIP, a leader in personalized wellness and prevention with a very impressive record. This welcomed change will allow me to focus on getting patients of any age to desired states of optimal health and enjoy new levels of vitality. In order to accomplish this, I will be limiting my practice in order to provide patients the time and resources to focus on their well-being.

I am very excited for this new direction toward precision and predictive, evidence-based medical care that will make our goal of reaching optimal health and vitality a reality. I hope that you will join me on this amazing and exciting new journey.

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. Tamayo is making a huge difference in healthcare via medical professionalism, doctor / patient availability / knowledge / education and personalized protocols and planning. My wife and I had several events that needed immediate care i.e. prescription orders, office visits and medical advice and Dr. Tamayo exceeded his call to commitment! I am very pleased and satisfied that we (both my wife and I ) are his patients and MDVIP members! Joseph Christiano

I had been experiencing deep chest congestion which had been weighing heavy on my lungs. My past doctor simply kept treating symptoms and after consulting Dr. TAMAYO he took me into his office, conducted office tests and evaluated me for additional testing which identified my health issue..He subsequently prescribed the necessary prescription and care which took care of the problem. As a result I have now joined his practice to have him administer my health care. CARE is the defining word for Dr. TAMAYO.

My first MDVIP doctor retired and sold his practice, my second unexpectedly passes away and God truly answered my prayer on number three. I am delighted to be a patient of Dr. Tamayo. I have complete confidence in him as a physcian and a person. I am always amazed at how thorough and professional the entire staff is in Dr. Tamayo's practice. They see you on time, take time to assess your circumstances and actually care about their patients and give outstanding care. I am so happy to be Dr. Tamayo's patient. What a fabulous doctor and a wonderful man.

My experience with Dr. Tamayo and the office is average. I've been seeing this doctor for about a year, but may start searching for a new primary. Everyone I've ever interacted with is generally friendly; however, when I went in for migraines, his demeanor and comments gave me the impression I was wasting his time. I'm pretty healthy, so perhaps he is used to very sick patients. My current complaint is trying to reach someone at the front desk to schedule an appointment. I realize they're extremely busy, but all of my calls for the past 2 days go to voicemail. After 2 days of calls and voicemails, which are not accepted after 4:30 pm, I finally spoke with someone at the front desk. I will say I did get a call back, but with my apparent bad luck, I missed the call. If you are in good health and don't need to see a doc often, this office is great. But if you have any ailments or worries, I would recommend going elsewhere.

Tamayo was was very rude assuming he knows you he does not. Accusing, he tried to break me down which was gut wrenching i kept my composure as his accusation were degrading for treatment. He said "I will not destroy my family or anything over a prescription from him months earlier. We sat back in dismay over his comments. His table side manner was appalling.
