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.

Dr. Carver is literally an angel on earth. He genuinely cares more about you than any doctor I’ve ever come in contact with. When other doctors disbelieved me and couldn’t solve my medical problems, dr carver took a chance. Not only does he listen intently but he actually uses the information you give him when working toward a treatment plan to improve your quality of health. He and his patients are very much a team. He does not do anything you are not comfortable with. I honestly don’t know where I would be without him. Dr. Carver, I cannot thank you enough. Your encouragement has been pivotal in my healing. His nursing team, Connie and stephany, are absolutely angels as well. So kind hearted. I am so thankful that I found this office and it is absolutely worth every penny.

I enjoy using MDVIP. But truthfully, wouldn’t have joined if my PCP hadn’t joined. So joining MDVIP was the only way that I could keep seeing him. It puts a strain on our budget, but I plan on staying with MDVIP for as long as my husband and I can afford it. Would hate losing access to Dr. Carver and his nurses, Connie and Stephanie. We have been seeing them for over 20 years.

My experience with David carver MD has been very beneficial. I know that I can reach him for q and A in a very short amount of time… even minutes on some occasions. I believe Dr Carver is very knowledgeable about matters pertaining to my health. Therefore without a doubt, I trust his advice and opinions. This trust enhances my peace of mind and reduces my anxiety greatly. 😊

I can honestly say I do not know what our family would do without Dr. Carver. He has seen us through everything from routine exams to life-threatening conditions with compassion and even humor. He obviously loves what he does and is always available for questions. The money I pay MDVIP for Dr. Carver is the best money I spend for the quality of life for my family.

This doctor is a concierge doctor. Meaning you pay him strictly to have access to him. He’s known by addicts as a provider who will write scripts for whatever they want. He ruins lives and plays an integral role in the cycle of addiction.
