Dr. Frank Martin is a wonderful and caring doctor. My husband and I have had nothing but top notch service from him. When we couldnt figure out what was wrong with my husband, Martin spent his vacation researching his systems. Then calling when he figured it out.

Frank is a five, any way you cut it. The first thing I trust in a doctor (or lawyer, or politician, etc.) is innate intelligence. Frank is really smart. Since the early 1990's, Frank has overseen me medically--lots of physicals and such, as well as surgeries--since the early 1990's. He's kept track of me and advised me well re. maintaining my good health. He keeps up on…

Dr. J. Frank Martin takes the time to understand your health issues first and foremost and only then does he thoughtfully recommend a course of action to alleviate pain and suffering. He is one of the two best doctors I have had caring for me for the past 40 years. The other one was his father. Like father, like son is an old saying but my highest compliment to both men.

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.
