What Members Are Saying

Dr. Braden has been our family doctor (to me, my wife and son) for more than 30 years. He has treated us through so many sicknesses and ailments and has put together wellness plans for each of us. He and his staff are so professional, very caring and kind. He also loves the Lord and it shows in all that He does. He is the best doctor that we have ever had. We are so blessed to have Dr. Braden as our doctor and friend. May God continue to bless Dr. Braden and his staff. We love and appreciate Dr. Braden so much! S. Evans

Patient of Albert H. Braden III, MD

Dr. Albert Braden III has been our doctor for over 40 years. Since joining MDVIP a number of years ago, Dr. Braden has allowed me his private cell number. His cell is very seldom used but when it is used, we have an issue that should not wait and would require our history. Dr. Braden responds quickly, even though he may be on vacation. He knows our history and after identifying our symptoms, he clearly tells us what he wants us to do and usually will call in prescriptions for us. We live over 2 hours away from his office in a very rural area and never use his cell unless he is out of the office. We also use an emergency room for urgent matters that must be seen by a Doctor. Once the urgency is resolved in the ER the ER doctor may recommend we visit Dr. Braden for follow up. We call his office ASAP and he always makes room for us to come see him the next business day. Dr. Braden has always done what is best for us and is a very caring doctor and person. He and the doctor I had before him (19 years...retired) have been the same type of doctor...very caring and responsive, regardless of what is happening in their private lives.

Frequently Asked Questions

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 Albert H. Braden III, MD

Dr Braden has been my doctor for more than 15 years.

from Evelyn in TX • February 12, 2014

Dr Braden has been my doctor for more than 15 years. He has been invaluable. He has listened, evaluated, encouraged and helped solve any health issues I have had. With the current well women check up in place he has seen that all aspects needed to maintain good health are met. But most important to me when anything happens he can be reached.

I am working overseas and have very few trips back to the US

from Bryan in TX • February 14, 2014

I am working overseas and have very few trips back to the US, so when I am home Dr. Braden and his pleasant assistant makes sure to work me into his schedule and ensures I receive the correct medical tests and prescriptions. As an example, he has personally called the local pharmacy to make sure I have medication before boarding my international flight.

Dr. Braden has been my doctor for many year.(Before MDVIP).

from Richie in TX • February 14, 2014

Dr. Braden has been my doctor for many year.(Before MDVIP). He and his staff are the best there can be. The time is taken to ask about health(all aspects). The office has excellent response to appointments and questions/concerns.

My improved personal relationship with Dr. Braden is one of comfort and security.

from Carole in TX • February 20, 2014

My improved personal relationship with Dr. Braden is one of comfort and security. Because of the closer MDVIP relationship we share, I have access to his cell phone and texting privileges.
