Our doctor of 15 years retired. We interviewed several doctors in our area, and after our visit with Dr. Sanschagrin looked no further. The doctor and his staff feel like family. Immediately after we signed up, my husband needed help with a difficult cough. We were seen within 24 hours, for at least one hour, and after the doctor explained to us the reason for the prolonged cough, the remedy…

I count Dr Sanschagrin as a blessing in my life! Whether it is a quickly needed office visit, a question I need answered or a middle of the night emergency call he always responds immediately! I rarely have to wait when I have an office visit he spends as much time as needed until he is certain that everything has been covered. I just celebrated my 80th birthday and I am in better health…

I found Dr. Sanschagrin very thorough and caring. I have never had a doctor who collected all my medical papers and then treated those that needed treating or sent me to other doctors. He explained everything and told me both the good and the bad. He treats his patients as he would treat his family.

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.
