Meet Donald R. Watren, MD


My practice is different from other primary care practices because it revolves entirely around you - your health, your goals, your needs. My affiliation with MDVIP keeps my practice small, which allows me to spend more time with you and give you the personal attention you deserve. We can actually get to know each other and work as equal partners to reach your wellness goals and help prevent long-term illnesses.

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.

I have been a patient of Dr Watren for over 20 years and I absolutely love him!
I often refer him to many of my own clients because he always takes the time to care for his patients.
He is super kind as is his entire staff, I always feel comfortable and welcomed when I have to visit his office. He takes the time to listen and also explain things about my health and well-being!
I honestly can’t say enough about the stellar care and service Dr Watren provides!

Dr. Watren is a brilliant physician with an excellent bedside manner. Choosing him as my physician is one of the smartest decisions I have made, particularly in the medical field today where insurance runs the show.
As a cancer survivor, I feel very safe in his care.
His office staff, Denise, Shamir, Kevin, and Tony couldn't be better. A doctor without a good office staff will have troubles. A good office staff allows the doctor to focus on the patient.

Dr. Watren and staff is like family and you can get to know everyone like it's a part of your life. I know I can be a pain sometimes and asked for a lot of things. As usual Dr, Watren and staff all ways treats me like one of there own. Dr. Watren has truly saved my life and gave me a change to life healthier than ever. I still have some medical issues that I'm trying to deal with. But, I know with the proper care and notifying Dr. Watren of all my concern. I know I will get the proper care I need. Finally, I know that I'm in good hands, and the respect, love and concern from Dr. Watren and staff means the world to me and my husband.
Thank you, very Much to Dr. Watren, Denise, Brittney and Kevin

We both Love you guys and thank you for being apart of our lives.

Doctor Watren has been my primary doctor for over 25 years. In the past 6years my husband and my mother have joined MDVIP and see Dr Watren as well. Words cannot express how grateful I am to have him and his staff taking care of us. My mom has since passed away last month and Dr Watren visited her each morning. When I would visited with her she would tell me how much she loved Dr Watren visits. He made her feel special. Thank you Doctor Watren for taking the time with Mama.

I've been a patient of Donald's since 2002 and I followed him into the MDVIP system. The care and attention given by Donald and the staff is unparalleled. This is the type of medical care that everyone wishes they could have. As my mom proceeded into Hospice, the care, attention and information Donald provided eased a very difficult period, which I will always be thankful for.

I am thrilled that he is finally my doctor ( and by chance a neighbor to boot!).

I have had Dr. Watren as my primary physician for over 20 years. In August of 1999 i was hospitalized at Good Samaritan Hospital. I was extremely Ill-and in a near death situation. Dr. Watren was not my primary physician at that time but was filling in for him.
Dr Watren came to my hospital room to check on me.
He was the first Dr I’ve ever felt truly took the time to answer questions and in a caring and compassionate way. He is that same Dr. today! I think he will be my Dr. for a long time!
