Dr. Christine Franden, you have been instrumental in helping me maintain my physical health over the last several years. But, most importantly, you recognize that physical symptoms are closely intwined with emotional health. You always ask about any stressors that I may have going on in my life. You have listened empathetically when emotional issues concerning my family were affecting me in a…

Dr. Franden is the most professional, intelligent, competent, caring, and friendly doctor I have ever known. I totally trust her opinion as well as her assessment that an opinion from a specialist is required. I've recommended her to so many people and those who have become her patients feel the same way I do about her.

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.
