What our members are saying

I appreciate knowing I can contact Dr. Babe and she will get back to me quickly to talk with me. She will usually arrange to see me the same day. My husband of nearly fifty years passed away after a long illness. Dr. Babe was there for me to help with the changes in my life and health that came after such a huge shock and change to my whole way of life. I know that because of her I do not have to…

Dr. Babe, her nurse and receptionist are great. My medical care from this practice and MDVIP has kept me healthy. I appreciate the Wellness visit and the referral to several specialists. Tracking of my vaccinations and medicines is helpful. Thanks, Dr. Babe.

My wife received a dog bite while on vacation in Virginia. Initially it wasn't a big concern knowing this family dog was up to date with shots etc. Three days later though she developed a definite infection reaction with fever, chills and swelling of her finger. We went to the emergency department and after a blood test she was admitted into the hospital for treatment due to the serious…

Dr. Babe, is awesome. I trust her completely. I never have a problem getting to see her. She answers all my questions and we discuss all my concerns. I couldn't ask for a better doctor. What more can you say other than she treats me with respect!

I have been a patient of Dr Babe for about 6 months. So far my experience has been very positive. She is easy to talk to, patient, takes the time to explains things and is never in a rush. She knows what she is doing and I trust her judgement. I strongly recommend her.

Dr. Babe is a top-notch primary care-giver and diagnostician. I first heard about her when a friend told me about a rare and potentially fatal skin condition that she diagnosed when others failed to. (He was subsequently treated and is doing fine.) She is extremely thorough and conscientious and works hard for her patients. Her little stand-alone office is old school and feels homey and intimate. Her small staff is friendly and professional. Dr. Babe is always prompt when I contact her through the portal with a concern or to ask for a refill. She will also answer or return calls to her cell phone although I've rarely had to use that. Some may balk at the cost of the MDVIP program, but for me it is well worth it and now I can pay for it out of a tax-exempt Health Savings Account that effectively reduces the cost to me. Very satisfied with Dr. Babe and staff!

Dr. Babe is so thorough in any health situation for us. Any new information that is learned later in the year she will inform you immediately. Broad, experienced background. Personally very interested in her patients. A friend we know well who has several health issues, week in and week out she gives him such good care.

I have been a patient with Dr. Babe for many years. Her whole operation is far & away superior to any primary care doctor I have ever been to. At 66 years old there have been many.

For me, I think MDVIP is too expensive. The only reason I joined is because Dr. Babe would no longer see me if I did not.

Wonderful! Dr. Babe & Dr. Dewyer take their time in explaining things, they believe you when you tell them your symptoms and they are far from being pill pushers! I was so thrilled my Husband switched over to their location. Easy to get in and never a long wait! By the time we leave the pharmacy has any prescriptions and they are filled by the time you arrive!

I was with this dr for about eleven years or more.. She is one of the worst kinds of dr. Both my parents go to her and have yet found out they are both diabetic after this dr telling them they aren't. She did both of their blood test for it at their appointments. Never told them not to eat or what to do before hand so her readings are inconclusive and a money scam on her part. The only thing this dr is for sure is a drug pusher. Stay away from this place. You will only be a money symbol to them. Find a dr who cares about their patients. DO to the treatment I have gotten from this dr I am in the process of filing a medical mel practice suit against them. THank you. I hope no one else go through what I am with her,

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.
