About Joseph King III, MD
            I like to think of myself as a coach for my patients. My goal is to help provide my patients with information and tools they can use to be more successful in pursuing their health goals. I believe in a partnership in which I can do my part and the patient is an active participant, for instance by asking questions, so we can build a plan just for them. I find that employing a team approach can lead to patients’ success as they work toward their goals. Patients have a choice in what they do when it comes to their healthcare, and I want to help educate them to make more informed decisions regarding their care and overall health.
                                            
I trained in internal medicine and pediatrics during my residency, with the aim of taking care of patients ranging from birth to the elderly stages of life. I have since focused on treating adults. Getting to know my patients and connecting with them on a deeper level is what makes my job truly rewarding. I enjoy being able to take care of the whole family.
I personally deal with hypertension and believe I can understand from a patient perspective how difficult it can be to maintain healthier habits. I am continually learning about the importance of diet and nutrition, specifically sodium metabolism, and its overall effect on my daily blood pressure. Exercise and diet are the focus of my own care, along with medications. I hope to share this knowledge with my patients, as it is my strong desire to help them work toward enjoying the benefits of better health and living.
I can bring this very personal and individualized approach to my interactions with patients. Practicing under the MDVIP model supports this goal and allows me to spend more time with patients. Similar to concierge medicine practices, my MDVIP-affiliated practice offers conveniences like same- or next-day appointments that start on time.

                She stated it was for preventive care, testing a panels to aide with the preventive care that may not be covered by the insurance.
Silly of me to think that I shouldn’t have to pay $1900 a year + a monthly premium + a copay for a DOCTOR to ADMINISTER PREVENTIVE CARE.
Dr. Joseph King III is money hungry or the person that answers your phone needs some training.
 
                 
                However, Doctor Joseph King, and his staff are the GREATEST!
Doctor King is professional, compassionate, caring, and so much more.
His compassion permeates his entire being. His compassion even emanates through his voice. It seems as though you’re being healed just from listening to his voice 🤣.
Tammy’s temperament feels as if you’re always coming to see a family member, and Regina is soooo nice, and friendly, it is as if you’ve known her forever!
They’re other names I’ve forgotten, but it’s not a reflection of those that I’ve failed to mention.
GREATEST, GREATEST, GREATEST!!!!
But don’t believe me…
See for yourself!!!!
 
                 
                 
                 
                 
                 
                 
                Dr. King is extremely knowledgeable about prescription medication. He is well versed in diagnostic research.
I highly recommend Dr. King.

                Thank you for providing this service. The services I receive, and the peace of mind that my health is their priority, goes well beyond the cost of membership in MDVIP. A big thank you to Dr King, Brittany and Tammy for what you do for me and my wife.
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.
