What our members are saying

His great responses are so numerous it is hard to pick one. When my husband entered the hospital for the last time, despite having a DNR on file they fought all night to keep him alive. I got a call very early in the morning to come to the hospital right away before the doctor leaves so he could talk to me. A few minutes after I got there so did Dr Sanschagrin. He stood right up front and center…

The thing I appreciate most is that Dr. Sanschagrin is always available. He is so understanding, sympathic and always trying to find a solution to my problem.
One time when my husband and I were travelling out of state, I became sick. We headed home and I called the office and explained the situation. Doctor waited, after hours, for me to arrive at the office. That was moment to…

Dr Sanschagrin has been part of my family's life for 10 years plus...He first took care of my mom, then my self and my husband. He has always been there for us. He gives us the piece of mind that we need. I remember years ago when my mom had her pace maker implanted, she had a reaction and ended up in intensive care and I was a mess. I had no idea Dr Sanschagrin was in contact with the…

I've been with Dr. Andre Sanschagrin for quite a few years, and I've been fortunate to enjoy good health. I once told him I'm a profit center (for his practice) now but that I expect someday that may change. Well, that day came along. When I recently had my first cold in a couple of years accompanied by a rapid pulse (unusual for me) he quickly ordered tests that uncovered…

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.
