About Chris Gelvin, MD
My philosophy as an internal medicine physician is to provide you with personalized healthcare and attention, with an emphasis on prevention and wellness. As an MDVIP-affiliated physician, I have more time to develop close relationships with my patients and perform more comprehensive exams.
With over 20 years’ experience practicing in the Sarasota community, I have relationships with many specialists to assist with your care. In addition, I am affiliated with Doctor’s Hospital and Sarasota Memorial Hospital and make daily rounds at Sarasota Memorial.
My office offers a warm and welcoming environment to provide personalized care. Similar to concierge medicine practices, I also offer conveniences like same- or next-day appointments that start on time. As a private physician in internal medicine, I look forward to providing you with a higher level of 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.
