What our members are saying

Dr Franden is super duper awesome - Most important she takes the time to listen. She implements a plan of action for good clean living and schedules me to come back to the office more than I want to so she can assure I am following the plan. Great positive attitude about her patients and her practice. Very happy I made the cut to be under her care.

Dr Christine Franzen continues to WOW both of us with her professional, caring and responsive medical attention.

Dr. Christine E Franden is my doctor and I am very pleased with her. She never seems rushed on our visits and I feel comfortable sharing all my health issues knowing she will listen to my concerns and ideas and then give her thoughts and recommendations for treatment.

As a Physician Day Tribute to Christine Franden, MD, I will relate a most recent representation of her many incidences of ideal patient care. Just days ago I developed an unusual, symptomatic, and irregular rapid pulse rate. This was associated with a troublesome anxiety-causing response that I attribute to the fast pulse. I am a retired physician with a loving wife and two pets, a great life…

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.
