When I retired from my 30 year career faculty position in academic pharmacy and medicine and moved to a small coastal town I was very concerned that my new home town lacked the quality academic medical care to which I had grown to expect and value. A colleague recommended Dr. Joseph McCabe who was with a group Family Medicine Center for my primary care physician. That was 15 years ago now and…

I had a hip replacement. At PT, an issue arose regarding a possible complication.. Dr. McCabe(Joe) came by our house on his way home and assessed the situation. He saved me from a trip that night to the ER, and the unnecessary time, expense, concerns, etc.that would have gone with it. I feel very fortunate that he is my Dr,

I accidently found Dr. MCCabe during a rehab stay for a fx femur. I had been in excellent health prior to this and never established a medical doctor after moving to NC in 2015. In 2018 all changed. I decided to look for an MDVIP - after researching those available in my area Dr. McCabe was my choice. Throughout the past 9 years he has above and beyond to assist me with his encouragement and…

Best Dr one could ask God for !! Including his nurse Jaime and Maris. I’d give 10stars
After 2015 till present day Dr Mc cabe is top notch goes over and beyond expectations plus great at diagnostics and at times holistic solutions that work. He’s extremely attentive to all details issues etc and of bad they make time for you come in same day !!!!!
All I say is it went up 2x the cost and unless o find work md vip is losing customers in fixed incomes that regular drs are not the greatest where we live.
Dr Mc cabe and staff is 10stars!!!!!!! The very best I’ve had since 2015.
Pathetic cost went from $1800 to $2500 and was hoping my 37 yr old daughter can afford herself and almost 17yr old child. Shall see

Dr Joseph Mc cabe is the very best Dr I’ve had with me vip the past 10yrs!!! I’m in rare luekemia remission and more I exercise daily however Dr Mc cabe is highly informed better than any oncology nurse or even previous me vip drs
My only issue is in fixed income both my hubby and maybe me too are liking for what we don’t want : reg drs that don’t refill important med or listen or say go to er. If I find part time work great at 64.5yrs old. The cost up to $2500 ehhh but it’s so worth it !!! 24/7 I get care and hubby too
So other than prices now ms vip is the best care and partly reason I’m still in remission from aml luekemia that he is very knowledgeable with - not many drs even know about it ! His bedside manner to even nurse going over and build expectations including the secretary!!! I love going to dr mc cabe !! Just praying I find part time work to afford me vip that’s going up $700 in 2yrs

Our previous MDVIP physician retired and we had to find another participating provider. Dr. McCabe accepted us with open arms and we couldn't be more pleased. My wife and I are extremely happy to be under his care.

My experiences with Dr. McCabe and his staff have been excellent. My phone calls have been returned promptly and there is also a portal where I can upload questions. Dr. McCabe has a great patient-friendly attitude. He takes time to listen to my health symptoms and proposes option on resolving them. I would highly recommend Dr. McCabe to anyone for your medical needs.

Dr. McCabe and his staff takes the time to really listen to you. It is also refreshing to get an appointment on the same day or with in a day or two instead of waiting a week or more. I have multiple issues and he tackles one or two at a time…it is less overwhelming that way.

My husband and I have been happy members of MDVIP for several years. Not long ago we were surprised to find that our doctor was retiring soon. We quickly found Dr. McCabe and are so glad we did. He and his staff have gone above and beyond the call to help us with some unexpected health issues and those of family members. We are very satisfied with MDVIP. Really recommend to those able to afford it.

Dr McCabe and his staff are always available whenever I need help with a prescription, an office visit, or any other medical/health needs. As a current cancer patient Dr McCabe is always available whenever I have questions about medications etc and I keep him informed about my treatments.

I could not be happier with my choice to become an MDVIP member with Dr. McCabe. There's nothing better than feeling like your doctor listens and is knowledgeable. He's able to explain what I need to know in ways that I understand, and takes a holistic, preventative approach that I appreciate. His staff are consistently terrific too.

The best doctor and staff I've had in my 67 years of life. He listens, probes to get the whole story and diagnosis, acts as if he has nothing in the world to do but spend time with you. I can't say enough good things about Dr. McCabe's practice, except I am a very discerning patient with some very unusual and rare problems, and I feel I've never been in better hands.

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.
