MDVIP is a model of excellence. The American healthcare system has undergone a series of changes that have often made it difficult to have an optimal working relationship with your PCP. This incredible impediment has been eliminated from their system. I have been Dr. Steven Hoshiwara’s patient for many years, formally in a non concierge system. When the opportunity arose to transition to… See more
I don't have anything particular to note, but will say I am totally satisfied with Dr. Hoshiwara as my PCP and as a person with whom one can easily exchange and discuss any issues or concerns.
I also have to give his entire office medical staff a definite plus for the great work they do.
MDVIP,
I moved to Arizona in 1997, and looking for a good doctor. Thanks to my daughters friend who is a nurse said the best is Dr. Steven Hoshiwara and she couldn't have been more right. When he joined MDVIP I had to follow him for the excellent care he has always given to me and my family.
He's very thorough, passionate, don't have to wait to see or talk to him… See more
I've been blessed to have been a patient of Steve Hoshiwara for thirty years. The relationship first started with an upper respiratory infection .... it was just a brief interaction, but I noticed immediately that I was more than just another "cold" for him to treat. Rather, I was a whole person instead of an individual who was just struggling with a cold.
It was Steve… See more
Dr. Hoshiwara is just a moment away. While I have been fighting a knee infection for over a year, he has been at my side. Whether a medical question or just to talk about the situation, he has been quick a phone call away. As I am generally an impatient person, Dr. Hoshiwara seems to know this and he goes out of his way to quickly respond to my frequent questions and concerns.

I've been with Dr Hoshiwara for 30 years.....why change when you have a caring doctor, staff and support system like this. That says it all
Now that I'm older and soon to enter Medicare I have been able to experience a considerable change in the doctor patient relationship. I remember the days when the doctor came to your home or you could just call your doctor and he would see you immediately. Well, those days have sure changed. In many cases now, you call of an appointment, and you wait a week and then you have to see… See more
I have relied on Dr Hoshiwara for over 25 years. The last 16 years from 100 miles away. I use his online portal to get guidance from him as if we were in the same room. I can count on his responses night or day, weekends or holidays. I can't tell you the number of times he has calmed our nerves and eased our minds by his quick messages. I am 83 years old in better than average health.… See more
Dr. Steve Hoshiwara has been my physician for more than 30 years. His medical skills are top notch, but what I have always found more impressive are his people skills and a natural ability to connect with patients on a personal level. I can’t imagine putting my well-being in anyone else’s hands.
In 2004 I was suffering from chronic back pain on my left side. I told my dr and he prescribed Naproxen for the pain. It did help with the pain but I had to take it everyday. He suggested I get an MRI which I did. Everything came back fine. Six months later he asked if I still had back pain. I said yes and he suggested I get another MRI. I said ok, but as I left I thought why should I get… See more
