Meet James Purpura, DO


My goal as your physician is to provide optimal personalized care that includes effective treatment of current medical problems, as well as focusing on preventive care. In my MDVIP-affiliated practice, I will be able to provide the same level of care as if you were part of my family. We will work together to make informed decisions to achieve your health care goals.
 
I have over 30 years of experience in primary care, including inpatient hospital care. I firmly believe that primary medical care should focus on the whole body and not the individual organs to optimize medical care. I try to ensure that concurrent care documentation from consultant physicians is kept current and updated in the patient records, thus maximizing total care and minimizing possible treatment errors.
 
I feel very blessed to be part of the Abilene community. I look forward to a long-term relationship with all my current and future patients.

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.

A Lymphedema Story

from Paula in TX • February 25, 2024
In April of 2022 I went to see my doctor, James Purpura, due to swelling of my lower left leg and foot. I had been experiencing this swelling for five to six months hoping it would just go away.
