About Alec Anders, MD

Connecting with patients on any level and speaking in a clear, straightforward yet empathetic way, is my communication style. Being entirely fluent in Spanish has enabled me to connect with more patients than I ever imagined. One of the best compliments I ever received from a patient was "you're really a regular guy who happens to be a doctor". This compliment means so much to me because I believe as a physician, communication is paramount. I also feel that earning your trust and respect starts with "walking the talk" in living a healthy lifestyle. I am an avid exercise enthusiast with a strong interest in sports medicine, which helps not only athletes but patients with any type of pain. 

As a family medicine physician, with almost 20 years of experience in handling all types of chronic illnesses and doing numerous office procedures, I feel very confident in being your "quarterback" - the doctor who can handle multiple complex issues and coordinate care with the entire healthcare team. In partnering with MDVIP, my family medicine practice allows me to have the time to focus on wellness and prevention. I believe preventing problems long before they come to fruition makes sense for everyone. My MDVIP-affiliated practice, often compared to a concierge medicine practice, also offers conveniences like same- or next-day appointments.

My practice is located in Rockville, MD adjacent to Shady Grove Adventist Hospital, where I have privileges. I look forward to working together with you to accomplish all of your healthcare goals.

During the 2022 Christmas season, my daughter-in-law got COVID from a mid December shopping trip to NY (my son and his family live with me). I had hip replacement surgery scheduled for 1/24/23, and it took 2 months to get that date. I tested positive 12/27. Dr. Anders followed me every day by the portal on my status. After almost testing negative, I had a rebound. He agreed to put me on…

Two years ago I was at an extremely low point. A rift in my family had alienated my son from his daughters and thus my beloved granddaughters from me. At an office visit I confided this to your nurse, Carol. She went and got you and, like always, you listened in your wonderful, supportive way. You and your wonderful, caring staff helped me through this difficult time. The therapist you…

I have been a patient of Dr. Anders for some 15 years in totals, about 5 years under MDVIP. He is truly a wonderful service provider. Nothing is too much trouble for him. He even came to my house to tell us that my wife had a serious problem and needed to get to the hospital asap. As I am getting older is very patient in explaining my diagnosis and detailing my remedies. I wouldn’t hesitate to…

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.
