About Joseph D. Gayagoy, MD
My passion as an internist and primary care physician is to provide you with personalized care with an emphasis on prevention and wellness. Despite modern advances in medicine, I believe a stronger doctor-patient partnership can help you pursue improved health. In my MDVIP-affiliated practice, you can be treated as if you are a member of my family in a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and you can benefit from my education, experience, compassion and understanding.
I have special interests in metabolic, cardiovascular, pulmonary, proactive and preventive medicine. I like to practice medicine the way it should be, which I believe is developing a relationship between physician and patient that is not rushed so we can discuss your medical concerns. And, similar to conveniences often associated with concierge medicine practices, I also offer same- or next-day appointments with minimal waiting.
I am an attending physician at Adventist Health Lodi Memorial. I’d like to partner with you as you work to avoid emergency room and urgent care visits or hospital admission. My primary care practice currently serves all of Lodi, CA, and surrounding communities.

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.
