About Emily Kuo, DO
Personalized healthcare starts with trust and collaboration between physician and patient. As your doctor, that is something I carry with me into every appointment, and I believe utmost in respect and empathy. My passion as an internal medicine, osteopathic physician is to learn about and care for the whole patient beyond what their medical records show me. Every person’s path in life is unique, so I aim to treat their individual needs and backgrounds.
During my seven years of providing primary care to veterans, active-duty service members and
dependents in the U.S. Air Force, I navigated sensitive and complex medical circumstances, which taught
me the value of establishing strong and safe doctor-patient relationships.
I’ve also spent several years working in hospital settings where I have seen and treated a wide spectrum
of patients and conditions. While my time as a hospitalist increased my clinical skills and capacity as a
doctor, it also made me appreciate the importance of preventive healthcare and the critical role a primary care physician plays in lifelong wellness.
My MDVIP-affiliated practice offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and
diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices. My practice is located
in the Westlake Hills of Austin, Texas and services its surrounding areas, including Westlake, Lakeway,
Pflugerville and Cedar Park.

Reviews from the web
I paint to have a purpose to wake up every morning, to have a challenge in life, to give myself an occasion to think about other things besides the memories of war.
My painting gives me an opportunity to engage with others who are also painting for healing. And it also opens the door to engage with a broader community in a social gathering.
i enjoy what I do and I am passionate about my work as an artist.
Art heals the soul and the mind.
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.
