What our members are saying

I became sick on Christmas Eve on 2010 with sudden onset severe diarhea, nausea, high fever, etc. I hated to bother Dr. Gassner on Christmas Eve, but since I live alone, I felt it necessary. I didn't really expect him to answer his cell phone under the circumstances, but thought I would give it a try. He picked up the phone on the second ring. I could tell from his voice that he was not…

Dr. Gassner is the only Dr. I have ever had that is more interested in preventing illness as well as getting to know me as a person and not a patient. He encourages dialogue between us on a wide range of topics, and in this way he gets to know what makes me ME and therefore can determine what steps I need to take to live healthier beyond what just the test results might indicate.

For 18 years Dr. Gassner has helped me take care of allergies, high cholesterol, illnesses that occurr while working out of state and surgeries. For each issue he is diligent to ensure that I understood what is occurring and what is needed to resolve the issue. Each office visit or telephone conversation (in-state or out-of-state) begins with Dr. Gassner asking me about my work (he remembers…

Our doctor, Dr. Lawrence Gassner, is someone we think of at two levels, as a trusted physician and a concerned friend. His watchful eyes were the very first to dx. my husband as having an early state of Multiple Myeloma; he convinced my husband of the urgency to see an oncologist. Thru the past 6 years of our association with Dr. Gassner, we have never felt any waiver in his attention to us…

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.
