About James C. Heron, MD
I believe any good doctor-patient relationship begins with listening and communication. As an MDVIP-affiliated primary care physician, I have the time I need to forge close relationships with my patients in a calm, highly personalized manner and act as their advocate, helping them navigate the increasingly complex healthcare system.
You are unique, and as such, your medical goals and needs are also unique. Together, we can discuss, plan and coordinate a wellness journey designed specifically for you. I recognize the importance of patients being active participants in their medical decisions. By bringing you a personalized healthcare approach, we can work closely together to help you achieve the good health and peace of mind you deserve. I am a board-certified internal medicine physician with extensive experience treating chronic conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and sleep disorders with an emphasis on nutrition, fitness, preventive medicine and heart health. I also offer conveniences, like same- or next-day appointments that start on time, which may be found in concierge medicine practices.
My primary care practice serves patients in the central Palm Beach County area including Lake Worth, West Palm Beach, Green Acres, Atlantis, South Palm Beach, Manalapan, Hypoluxo, Palm Springs, Lake Clark Shores, Wellington and Boynton Beach. I am an attending physician at JFK Medical Center, and I firmly believe it is in the best interest of my patients to be treated by the physician who knows them best when hospitalized – that’s me!

Reviews from the web
My wife has been suffering from a combination of serious illnesses for about 2 years. I have called him more times than I care to mention, and he always gets back as quickly as possible. He is always there for us.
Recently she has begun to show significant improvement, which would not have been possible without his advise, and equally important, his support.
Fortunate to have Dr. Heron as our family doctor.
He’s very good at explaining things which definitely helps.. I just would like a better friendly relationship.
JUST A NOTE, I WAS IN PRACTICE FOR MANY YEARS AND TAUGHT OFFICE PROCEDURE, CODING, DOCUMENTATION, AND IMPAIRMENT AND DISABILITY RATING. I WAS PRESIDENT OF THE LOCAL SOCIETY, STATE ASSOCIATION, AND STATE BOARD. THE REASON I AM NOTING THIS IS TO LET YOU KNOW HOW IMPRESSED I WAS WITH DR. HERON AND HIS STAFF.
He listens attentively and takes action quickly.
Thank you Dr Heron
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.
