About Armin Marefat, DO

The interpersonal relationship between patient and physician, I believe, is paramount in pursuing improved overall health. I think that, in order for the physician to obtain pertinent data needed to help in this partnership, trust is imperative. This trust can then be used along with open rapport to help the patient work toward more optimal wellness. My goal has always been to make that connection, and in the MDVIP model, I can dive deeper into multiple layers of this. I aim for us to be a team and take a team approach. I believe the reward of your efforts can be a vital one: improved wellness, both in mind and body. In my experience, they both should be attended to in order to help foster better results. 

As an osteopathic physician, I am trained in mind and body connectivity. This  has been the foundation of my practice for many years. This approach, coupled with more time, tools and resources available through MDVIP, can help us explore the many facets of your wellness so that they can work in harmony.

I am a trained internal medicine doctor and gastroenterologist. In the gastrointestinal field, I find more and more  studies show the importance of a healthier gut, which can involve a healthier microbiome and improved mental health. I can help support patients in unlocking this, including things like how an appropriate diet that focuses on building a flourishing gut microbiome can be helpful in addressing many medical ailments. 

My MDVIP-affiliated practice offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices.

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.
