About Irina Borissova, MD

We already have a shared vision…our personal patient-physician communication commences now! The very fact that you are reading this, shows your sincere interest in your health and wellness. We will work together toward taking this interest and weaving it into a proactive, preventive plan, for both the present and future. My health concept envisions an emphasis on “the whole person wellness” rather than treating individual parts of the body. I look forward to be able to take the time necessary to diagnose the root causes of your specific ailments. Being raised in the natural splendor of far-east Russia, I was exposed to many natural medicinal remedies handed down to us for generations. I feel fortunate to be able to combine this background with my more than 25 years of medical experience in allopathic, functional, and natural medicine to provide you with truly personalized integrative healthcare!

Critical factors in placing care for one's medical well-being with a selected primary care physician are competence, thoroughness and trust; the latter element - trust - seems to be frequently missing in many assessments / surveys. Dr. Irina Borissova exhibits all these essential qualities - along with an excellent, reassuring "bedside manner". I speak from prior personal…

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.
