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.

When I was looking for a new doctor, I asked three of my tax clients, who were nurses working at our local hospital, who they would recommend. They all said Kevin Colton. I'm so happy I took their advise. You couldn't ask for a more caring and professional doctor.

As a health care provider myself (retired RN 50 years) I really appreciate someone like Dr Colton and his staff taking care of me as I did with my patients for sooo many years. It is often frightening living with asthma/bronchitis and they have always been there for me!

I am using Dr.Colton's medical services for about a year. I am extremely satisfied with him as my primary care physician and also with the service of his staff. He is very professional, kind and responsive, appointments can be scheduled at fairly short notice. I am in good hands and it gives me peace of mind knowing I have a doctor who is available to me at any time when needed.

Dr.Kevin Colton is the most caring doctor I have had the privilege of knowing . First and formidable are his patients and their health. Dr.Colton has greatly helped me in getting appointments with specialists. If something comes up in my behalf that may be outside of his discipline, he never hesitates to expeditiously get me to the professional that can help me. His staff is like family to me, always cheerful and accommodating regardless of the situation. I believe Dr. Colton is a man of integrity and above reproach in all of his dealings. I highly recommend him and MDVIP to all my friends and acquaintances.

My primary concern about retirement was medical care. Thanks to Dr. Colton I feel safe, cared for and treated like an intelligent person. His skills and bedside manner are all I could hope for. And his excellent staff are a reflection of his kindness and desire to do good work. I feel fortunate to be a Colton patient.

Three years ago Dr. Colton reviewed some blood work and wa alarmed though he wasn't sure what the cause was. He recommended I seek a specialist which I did. I had PSC Liver disease and with ther help of my doctor at CPMC in San Fransisco was able to receive a transplant though I had to go to Barnes Jewish Hospital in St. Louis. Its been over two years now and the follow-up care from all the doctors has been excellent
