About James S. Parsons, MD
The philosophy of how I have practiced medicine has not changed through my career. It is based on a personalized interactive relationship between my patients and myself. I have focused on current preventive care recommendations, early detection of disease states and intervention and patient oriented treatment of those diseases, both chronic and acute. Having added qualifications in geriatric medicine provides additional knowledge to manage the complexities of older patients with multiple diseases in obtaining appropriate intervention and support services. At this point in my career, transitioning to an MDVIP-affiliated practice will allow me to continue providing the service that both physician and patient are accustomed. I also offer conveniences, like same- or next-day appointments that start on time, which may be found in concierge medicine practices.

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.
