About Carlos A. Prendes, MD
I believe the art of medicine is not a solo act. For me, it is about the relationships we build as the foundation of health for individuals, families, and the community. I am a family physician and dedicated to giving my patients the knowledge and tools to help them feel their best. I have a passion for communication and teaching. Over my career, I have worked at many levels within a primary care office from check in to where I am now – a well-established physician in our wonderful community. I have spent time teaching residents and students and was part of the formation of a primary care diabetes clinic. I also have a passion for quality of life and dignity at the end of life as a hospice medical director. Most of all, I have had the privilege and honor of caring for hundreds of families and working to help them get where they want to go.
I look forward to taking the time to provide a more personalized healthcare experience for my patients. I am excited to discuss prevention, as well as wellness. I am able to discuss diet, activity and psychological and emotional health. We can devise strategies to help manage stress, develop better habits and to try to make each day the best it can be. Visits start on time, and you will be able to get more timely appointments. I will work with you to help develop action plans and provide the “why” behind what we do. The journey to wellness should not be traveled alone, and it is not one that should be followed blindly. In my experience, it is a journey where the path is the destination. I hope to be a partner, guide and supporter on your road towards improved health and well-being.

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.
