About Jason Nelson, MD
I love caring for people. When college ended, I had to discern whether I'd pursue vocational ministry or medicine. Thankfully, medicine feels like both and "then some." What a great honor it has been to serve this community through the practice of medicine for more than 25 years. My MDVIP-affiliated practice offers an integrated approach to caring for people, including myself, through the practice of medicine and wellness.
Because I want to discuss with patients the possible root of issues and not solely their representative symptoms, my MDVIP-affiliated practice focuses heavily on quality of life and supports my patients as they pursue prevention and wellness. Long term, my patients and I work together to create personalized health care plans addressing concerns, prevention, and the optimization of the gift of health. Short term, I serve my patients through increased availability for any more immediate health or emergency needs. Whether you want to run a Turkey Trot, hike the Pacific Coast Trail, or play on the floor with grandchildren, I want to work alongside you to support you in achieving your long and short-term goals.
I have a particular interest in caring for pediatric and general medicine patients pursuing cardiovascular health, fitness and longevity, treatment of metabolic syndrome and diabetes, nutrition, weight management and weight loss, hormonal health, and sleep quality. My MDVIP-affiliated practice offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those typically covered by insurance.
I am affiliated with CHRISTUS Santa Rosa Hospital and Resolute Baptist Hospital, and I have a network of specialists to whom I can refer. My practice is located in New Braunfels, TX, and I have the privilege of serving patients from all over Comal County and neighboring counties. Similar to concierge medicine practices, I also offer conveniences like same- or next-day appointments with minimal waiting.

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.
