I first met Dr. Bates when he was caring for my late Mother-in-Law until she passed at age 96. I became his patient when his partner, my physician of 40 years retired. Since I observed the excellent care he provided my Mother-in-Law for many years, I asked to become his patient which was before he joined MDVIP. His attention and care have been exemplary and always made me feel that my health… See more

Doctor Christopher Bates, always takes his time and really listens to me when ever I have a health issue. He always thoroughly explains the results of my physical to me in a way I can easily understand. He has been my doctor for over 20 years and I highly recommend him to my family and friends!

Dr. Bates is an excellent physician. Very caring and knowledgeable.
Dr. Christopher Bates has been my doctor for a short time. My original doctor retired after being my physician for over 35 years. However, I've needed Dr. Bates on a few occasions recently and he was there! He has returned my calls in a very short period of time and was able to prescribe the necessary medication necessary for making what could have been a long symptom very short-lived… See more
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.
