No, I don't mean Dr. House. My personal physician, Dr. Christopher Bates, made a House call and spent over 1/2 hour talking to me and listening to me and finally suggesting that I go on hospice care at home. When I told him I was going to tell others about his making a house call, he said, with caracteristic humility, Pleas no. I don't want anyone to get a bad reputation.

Dr. Christopher Bates was my doctor for 5 years before he joined MDVIP. I am in MDVIP because of, and for continued access to, Dr. Bates. He has always been highly responsive, excellent professionally, caring personally, generous with his time, and just a great guy. If he retires, I will re-assess my need for, and usefulness of, MDVIP.
Being able to contact Dr. Bates via email while in spending winter months in Florida gives us peace of mind. His response to my emails are answered quickly. Many times small problems can be very stressful and being able to contact Dr. Bates for is guidance eliminates stress. We feel he is always there for us, and at our age that is so reassuring.
Dr. Bates is a wonderful person.

As I spend the winter months in Florida being able to contact Dr. Bates has been very helpful not only in solving a problem but also giving me peace of mind. Ive emailed him a number of times and always get a quick response.
