About AJ Orquia, MD, FAAFP

After decades of practicing traditional primary care, I affiliated with MDVIP so I have more time to spend listening to patients and getting to know them on a deeper level. I aim to develop a therapeutic relationship with each person who offers me the privilege of accompanying them on their health care journey. I feel that with this partnership comes a great responsibility.  

I believe God wants the very best for each one of us. I also believe that the most rewarding partnerships are built on a foundation of mutual respect and strengthened over time by an ever-growing trust. I aim to work together with you at visits to create a care plan that can help empower you as you work to achieve goals based on your specific and unique life values. This may involve traveling across the world, chasing grandkids or simply enjoying the beauty of each day. And if your goal is to decrease medication use through a healthier lifestyle, I can discuss and review with you what I believe are the principles of regular exercise, good nutrition and fresh air and where those intersect with modern medicine. 

The MDVIP model allows more time to develop this relationship – a collaboration with a physician who knows and cares for you combined with evidence-based medical care. I look forward to being with you on your journey.

What our members are saying

Dr. Shinder actually saved my life. I was in the middles of having a heart attack with little or no symptoms but she had encouraged me to see her whenever I had a doubt about how I felt. I am a former E.M.T. and did mot recognize the symptoms since they were so mild. She examined me, called an ambulance and I was operated on the next morning. She is the best!

Our internist of 15 years retired in 2011. We were traveling 25 miles to see him but he was a former neighbor, our friend and a fine physician. When he retired, we sought a local internist quickly realizing that she was just too busy, too interested in having us tested instead of making a diagnosis, and not caring. Our retired internist said that one of his former associates was very good but…

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.
