I have been with Dr.Martin since the day he joined his father’s practice, as I was a patient of Dr.Martin senior. Dr.Martin has met me at his office on numerous occasions when I was sick over the weekend. Most importantly, Dr.Martin always closely monitored my diviticulitis and sent me to the hospital where I had to have a reverse ostomy. If it had not been for Dr.Martin’s vigilante care, my…

I first saw Dr. Frank Martin approximately four decades ago. He cured a chronic sinus infection that my previous doctor merely dabbed at. Frank has guided me through a number of serious medical issues since. He KNOWS me. He always has his thinking cap on. He communicates clearly and respectfully.

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.
