What our members are saying

12 years ago, before MDVIP, I found Dr. Gregory Ferrara. I was sick. Very sick. Dr. Ferrara stood out because he listened. He willingly involved me in my medical decisions. After losing our home in the “1000 year flood” I moved out of state. I tried to find another Dr in my current home state. After 2 years of trying out other doctors, I had to come back to Dr Greg. I travel 2 hours to see him…

De. Ferrara, I am so glad I found you when I moved to the Shenandoah area. You had always been willing to spend time and listen to what I have to say. Many doctors I had been to where always in a rush to tell me what they wanted to say and then leave the room. When you went with MD-VIP it was a no brainer for me to stay with you. You listen to what I feel I need to say and work with me to…

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.
