What our members are saying

My Doctor is the best because she cares and she listens to what I have to say she never rushes me or acts like she is in a hurry she takes the time to make me feel important and heard . She is the very best and I think the world of her and would hope to have her as long as I need a DR.

Dr. Franden has, more than once, gone over and above in providing us the medical care we needed. She has been there to assist us day or night and on weekends. I am alive today because of her unwavering insistence that I receive the best care available. Thank you Dr. Franden for allowing us to be a part of your practice.

Because Dr. Franden actually knows me, she knows I don’t complain unless I’m truly in pain. I once went in and said that my head was splitting inside, it hurt so much. After ruling out some causes, she got me in for a CT scan the next day. It showed a sphenoid sinus infection, something almost impossible to diagnose without a scan. Without my relationship with Dr. Franden, who knows how long…

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.
