About Alvin Y. Abaqueta, MD
My goal as your primary physician is to partner with you in creating a lifelong healthcare plan. Together, we can efficiently treat current medical problems as well as prevent new ones. As an MDVIP-affiliated primary care physician, I have more time to develop a closer relationship with my patients. We will work together, as a team, to help you achieve your health goals for the future.
With almost 20 years of medical practice in the Charlotte community, I have established many relationships with specialists to help you with any of your unique needs. As a clinical professor at Wake Forest College of Medicine, I can help you establish with the finest specialists that Wake Forest has to offer.
I have over 10 years of experience in geriatric rehab and have great interests in diabetes, cardiovascular health, psychiatry, weight management and sports medicine.

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.
