About John W. Sensenbrenner, MD
My goal as a physician has always been to develop a caring relationship with my patients. They get to know me as I get to know them. As a team we will work together to provide a high level of health care and the education necessary for them to better care for themselves. The focus of my practice will always be to try to prevent disease and illness rather than waiting for it to occur and reacting to it.
I have always enjoyed teaching and do it on a daily basis with each patient. I am on the teaching faculty for the primary care clinical rotations at UNC Chapel Hill and East Carolina University Medical Schools, as well as Wingate University’s Physician Assistant program. My office is 3 miles from the home I grew up in. I was a Scoutmaster at Weddington United Methodist Church Troop 99 for 17 years and had the honor of helping to train nearly 100 Eagle Scouts. I remain an active member of Christ Lutheran Church in Charlotte, North Carolina and have been singing in one of their choirs for over 50 years.
I love the practice of medicine and was called by God to use the gifts he has given me to be a healer to my fellow man. It is an honor to care for others and a trust that I cherish. I am human and have my faults and limits, but my patients know that each time they see me I have given them my very best.

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.
