Meet David Vanderheiden, DO


I believe that health starts with moderation and balance. As we know, a well-balanced lifestyle will lead to a healthier person. Those that are able to balance the mental, physical and spiritual aspects of their lives are happier and healthier. As your primary care physician, my goal is to help you reach the balance you need to attain your personalized healthcare goals and to reduce your need for medications and/or hospitalizations. 

My family practice office is located in Corpus Christi, Texas and, for the last 29 years, I have treated my patients in both Corpus Christi Medical Center and the Spohn Hospital Systems. I have an interest and expertise in treating diabetes, depression, physical injuries and high cholesterol. In my smaller, more personalized MDVIP-affiliated practice, we will develop your personalized preventive wellness program. It is our hope and mission that all of our patients will be open to creating a special working partnership, together.

We believe in our motto “Treating Patients, Not Just Symptoms.”

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.
