What Members Are Saying

Dr. Mena is the most knowledgeable, professional, and kindest individual to my family and me. He listens to gain understanding of my health desires and how he can support me in achieving long-term health goals. Quality time he spends effectively communicating is the BEST! He has motivated me to be SMART in this year of 2024. I turn 60 this year so I wrote my SMART goals down which is specific, measurable, achievable which I believe are realistic. My health behavioral changes will consist of engaging in more exercise (walking, swimming and weights) to be completed at least three days a week. Dr. Mena is helping me reach my milestone goals this year by coaching me to achieve weight loss, eating appropriate nutrition, change my health behaviors which could lead to better A1C's (Diabetic) goals and for that I'm grateful. Blessings to him and his staff.

Dr. Benjamin Mena has earned my respect and praise as one who epitomizes the very best in medical care. His friendly demeanor and positive attitude are contagious. I always feel welcomed and valued and am a healthier, happier patient when I leave his office. As an elderly patient, with health shortcomings, I depend on , and expect, the necessary care and guidance required to keep me "relevant". Over an extended period of time, he has grown my fervent trust and my appreciation for his vast medical knowledge. Dr. Mena demonstrates an unselfish willingness to share, teach, and advise. His office and staff offer a safe and professional environment, one in which you look forward to visiting. As a result, not only do I recognize him as my doctor, but I feel comfort in considering him a cherished friend. Perhaps, as with a "favorite uncle", one would enjoy sharing a coffee, or on a hot Florida day, a cold beer. Just one!! Dr. Mena deserves this recognition.

Dr. Benjamin Mena MD., FACP In recognition and appreciation for his dedication and medical knowledge. He is not only a primary MD, he also carries the FACP initials obtained by further studies, which reinforce my trust in his diagnoses and treatment. On my visits, I have experienced the detailed explanations of the test results. He is never in a hurry. He is always pleasant, respectful and interested in you as a human being. It is very important to me that, on two occasions, I needed to call the office after hours; I was able to talk to him in a very short time. As he says, "my role is to keep you away from the ER." He is more than a doctor; he is a health coach. He practices medicine the way he always thought he would had like when he took the "HIPPOCRATIC OATH. Thank you, Dr. Mena, for been my doctor.

Meet Benjamin Mena, MD, FACP

My approach to helping you achieve your individual health goals is simple; get to know your strengths and weaknesses so we can work together to devise a personalized plan. I believe this change must happen in your mind, heart and soul. We will use the latest tools and technology, when necessary, first-rate medications (natural or synthetic) and a little psychology. I will see you through all that ails you! My MDVIP-affiliated practice will be guided by my knowledge of internal medicine. I have over 20 years of experience and passion to serve. I have been in the Tampa Bay area for over 10 years.

My MDVIP-affiliated practice also offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices. I particularly enjoy working with diabetes, hypertension, obesity and geriatric populations. If necessary, I will be able to visit you at Memorial Hospital Tampa, and Tampa General Hospital and, on certain occasions, we may be able to Televisits. Tambien Hablo Español!

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.

from Gregory in FL • June 3, 2023

I’m in my 3rd year with Dr Mena. He’s very good at listening and spending time to understand my health and proactively helping me improve it. I’m down 30# and my diabetes is under control, and on the way to submission.
Blessed to have Doc.
BTW, I’m 30# less than my picture today. Pretty healthy at 62.

Excellent service 24/7!!
