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.

Dr. Sensenbrenner has always made me comfortable and never has rushed me when I had an issue or question. He sits right there and listens and chats until we get to the point. Then he helps me find the answers to my concerns. He is a very good listener as some doctors I’ve had have been too busy.

I was finally going on my dream trip of England, Ireland and Scotland. I had been taking care of myself because this trip had been cancelled due to Covid. I had been waiting 25 years to go to England. I woke up in the morning a day before my departure and felt the exact symptoms of a sinus infection. I’ve had many in the past and knew this was another one coming on fast. I sent Dr. John…

Dr. Sensenbrenner is the most caring, kind, personable person you would ever want to meet. His bedside manner presents a comfort level beyond care. His diagnostic skill level is amazing. He takes as much time needed with each patient to make them feel like they are his only patient. He asked questions, the patient asked questions. His patience is amazing with old and young. In 2003, when I…

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.
