About Herb King, MD
I believe life is better when we prevent rather than react. Nowhere is that more true than with your health, but it takes a relationship between a patient and physician, the appropriate amount of time and the right resources. Prevention is my goal as we partner together using advanced testing to define your risks and then meet them head on with a preventive plan. With this personalized approach, we can manage your risks and current health problems to change the course of your future health. If the unexpected happens, I will be there for you to walk the journey together. Neither you nor I have to settle for anything less.
The practice of medicine is a complex art that requires many tools. I will combine the comprehensive approach of my Mayo Clinic training and the compassionate relationship-based care Midlothian Family Practice has provided to central Virginia for over 125 years. My MDVIP-affiliated practice, often compared to a concierge medicine practice, also offers conveniences like same- or next-day appointments. Together we can practice medicine with the relationship of yesterday and the state-of-the-art tools of tomorrow.

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.
