About Christopher Celio, MD
Because each person is truly unique, I believe that helping to facilitate healing for people must also be as well. Although we start in different places on our health journeys and have different priorities and values, my experience indicates many patients tend to want the same thing: improved health and better quality of life. No matter where you are on your health journey, I look forward to partnering with you to develop a personalized action plan which can help address your specific health concerns and focuses on helping you pursue improving your quality of life. Through advanced screenings and a lifestyle-based approach, I also look forward to proactively helping you address risk factors and educating you to help make informed decisions to better prevent illness. In my MDVIP-affiliated practice, I will strive to treat you like a member of my family by listening to your needs, earning your trust and working with you as you pursue the health-related goals that you desire.
As a primary care physician who has been in practice for almost 20 years, I have developed many areas of interest and experience. Because I believe in the importance of how our day-to-day decisions affect our health, I have developed and incorporated many lifestyle-based philosophies and programs into my care. Rooted in and focused on what I believe are the five pillars of wellness, specifically nutrition, activity, sleep, psychological well-being, and meaningful social relationships, my philosophy offers a holistic way of approaching health and, at times, an innovative way of approaching care.
My MDVIP-affiliated practice is located in Orange County, CA, and offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices. In addition, I also offer same- or next-day appointments with minimal waiting. As a leader in the Orange County medical community, I have served on the Board of Trustees at Providence St. Jude Medical Center in Fullerton, CA, and as the president of the Orange County Medical Association.

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.
