What’s super about Dr. Romero is that she does extremely well what she is supposed to do. Our healthcare needs are totally controlled and managed. Every physican she has recommended for follow-up has been excellent. There has been no delays in their being scheduled. Best decision my wife and I have made in selecting a primary doctor.

I tripped on a tree root in my backyard, fell and obviously broke my wrist .....neighbors wanted to call 911 and I said NO .....I want to speak with Dr. Jacqueline Romeo first......she sent me for x-rays and after reading them scheduled me with an awesome surgeon ......had I not contacted her the emergency room would have applied a cast and my wrist would never be the same ..... now I sometimes…

When recently admitted to the hospital with a grim prognosis Dr. Romero was aware that those in charge were going to call Hospice. She immediately asked them to not do that saying “she’s a fighter”, referring to me of course. And she was right!

Dr. Gardner has been my PCP for years. He's thorough, a good listener and best of all it is a faith based practice.

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.
