About Jeffery Long, MD, FAAFP

Growing up, faith, family, and education were all important in my household. At a very young age, I knew I wanted to be a family physician. The example of my family doctor left a lasting impression, but medicine has changed significantly since then. I often find myself wondering what happened to that style of medicine. 

Where did “Marcus Welby, MD,” go? (If you're younger than 60 years old, look it up). In my experience, entities that are not physicians are making decisions about care. I find that HMO, PPO, ACO, HHS, and more acronyms than you can imagine are dictating how physicians treat patients, including what tests, procedures and medications  to order. 

This is why I value my MDVIP affiliation. After 36 years of traditional practice, I have the opportunity to spend more time discussing and supporting my patients' health. This includes offering preventive services, offering timely appointments and getting back to personalized care. 

I believe my MDVIP-affiliated practice can help my patients in their pursuit to restore and maintain their health. My practice offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices. Most importantly, it gives us more time to create a health roadmap that can guide patients as they pursue living their best lives. It's time to get back to a more individualized approach to healthcare. I look forward to you joining me in this endeavor.

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.
