About Farris Sandhu, MD
As a female internist, my passion and interests include overall wellness, women’s health, nutrition and helping with complex medical issues, including cardiovascular and metabolic disorders.
Based on my 25 years of experience as a practicing internal medicine physician, I believe in developing personalized healthcare plans with an emphasis on prevention and wellness. I believe in combining the advanced diagnostics in the MDVIP Wellness Program with evidence-based practices to offer more individualized care. I formulate my recommendations as I would for my own family members, blending my compassion and experience.
My MDVIP-affiliated practice offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices. I also offer conveniences like same- or next-day appointments with minimal waiting.
My practice is located in Encinitas, CA, catering to surrounding communities, such as Rancho Santa Fe, Carlsbad and Carmel Valley. I have been voted as a Top Doc of San Diego for a number of years based on my style of practice.

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.
