I don't have a particular story - haven't had an emergency recently - tho I know he has really taken care of me during an emergency I can barely remember. What I most appreciate is his ability to really listen. And respond. I feel very well taken care of.

A few years ago I was driving to work and started to feel discomfort below my sternum. I drove to work and the feeling was more severe. I called Dr. Halfpenny and he requested I get to his office immediately. He proceeded to give me a ekg

Dr Halfpenny’s office location recently moved due to the sale of the building.
His new offices are more modern and easy to drive to the new location.
I never have any unpleasant experiences with Dr Halfpenny… just the best care.

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.
