About Jeffrey M. Akhtar, DO

Throughout my 22 years as a physician, I have prioritized building relationships with my patients even with time restraints that exist in most traditional practices. As an MDVIP-affiliated physician, I have more time to foster closer relationships with my patients   and review your acute and chronic illness concerns. Similar to concierge  medicine practices, my MDVIP-affiliated practice offers conveniences like same- or next-day appointments that start on time. I look forward to partnering with you on your healthcare journey with the resources we have through MDVIP.

I have been a patient of Dr. Akhtar for many years and I love the relationship he has built with me as a patient. You can tell he cares about his patients and unlike some doctors you know he is invested in your health. It takes time with you during appointments and makes sure you understand everything that is happening during your appointment. He follows up and makes sure all results are easy to…

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.
