What Members Are Saying

When I moved to AZ 12 years ago my biggest concern was finding a new physician. But in no time my family found Dr Larry Gassner. I just want to give you a big shout out for being a terrific doctor. Your dedication and expertise is much appreciated. I feel confidant that I am getting the best care because of the dedicated, kind and excellent doctor that you are. I also feel that your staff, both Kim and Maggie make your practice complete. They both are so professional, helpful, caring and the final link that makes your practice so outstanding and one that I am blessed to go to.

Dr. G. is a fantastic medical professional. In my experience working in the health care arena, it is not often that you find a physician whose ego does not get in the way. HIs does not. Dr. G. Listens - but most importantly really hears what I am saying. He is thoughtful in his explanations to my questions - and very detailed. I don't think there is any one moment that mattered more than others per se - but knowing that he is on my side, and that I can trust him really matters to me. He takes the time to know me.

Patient of Lawrence P. Gassner, MD

The thing I value most about Dr. Gassner is his help in guiding me in making all kind of medical decisions. I have been very healthy through most of my life, so until I got into my 70's I never really had any difficult medical decisions to make. With age things change. The decisions he has helped with range from evaluating the risk vs reward profile of medical procedures, how to determine if I am having side effects from a new drug, and whether I should go to the Emergency room based on some symptom. He has been available 24/7, though I try not to abuse that benefit. The wisest thing he told me is generally there are 2 types of doctors he met during his time in medical school, residencies etc. Ones who are focused on the Procedures they perform and ones who are focused on the Patients they serve. I am glad he chose to be the later. I am sure that is also why he chose to be part of a concierge type service like MDVIP, since their fees allow for a much lower patient load.

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.
