What our members are saying

Exceptional!! Knowledgeable, Compassionate, Available, Goes above and beyond!!! All of these describe Dr. DeAtkine and his team. I honestly don't know how I could handle my health problems without him. The money I pay MDVIP is by far the best money I spend every year.

Caring for a medically non-compliant diabetic husband and a 93-year-old blind mother with dementia for several years could have put this 65-year-old type I diabetic into an early grave. Thanks to exceptional medical advice and excellent medical care from Dr. D. during these years, I'm laughing, healthy, and looking forward. Dr. Deatkine gets MUCH of the credit for keeping me in tip top shape…

Every year, I'm more grateful for David's personal attention to me and my family. When I joined his budding MDVIP practice over 12 years ago, he made a promise to provide personalize service. He continues to surpass my expectations...even making house calls! Thank you, David!

I have been a patient of Dr. DeAtkine for many years even before MDVIP. I tell everyone he has saved my life many times. He works well with other physicians when I must see a surgeon. I never wait in his office and when I have a problem I can reach him anytime. I thank God for Dr. DeAtkin and his office staff.

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.
