What’s different about MDVIP practices and traditional primary care practices?

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.

How does insurance work in an MDVIP-affiliated practice?

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.

What is MDVIP and what does it do?

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.

She saved my life.

I was not feeling well, & my husband called Dr. Senol’s office the day after Christmas to see if she could see me. She did see me at 1 o’clock, & she sent me to the hospital immediately. I had pneumonia in both lungs. Fortunately, it was a wonderful hospital, & I was immediately sent to ICU.
I was in the hospital for 8 days, and I am now fine.

Bravo, Dr. Senol!

Dr. Senol, Congrats on your well deserved recognition as a Top Doctor by Castle. I appreciate your caring and knowledgeable approach to caring for my health.

THANK YOU

from JOHN in MO • February 28, 2024

Dr. Senol is just fine, her staff and office is great, and everything is in order. The less I have to see Dr. Senol, that mean the healthier I am. That's GREAT!!! The number of stars shown is realistic, since she does her best for my health, but "Perfection" is a bit too high for us mortal beings. If 4 1/2 were possible I would give her that. Consider that my score.

from Lana in MO • March 23, 2023

Dr. Senol is a good listener. She is easy to talk to and we have shared some good hearty laughs. I look forward to appointments and to seeing her staff, all of whom are efficient and kind. Her nurse Mary is also a good listener. I am grateful and feel safe to be in their care.

I have been coming to Dr Senol’s practice for more than 10 years. I’ve always been treated well and the staff has been responsive until I came down with some kind of infection more than a month ago. When I finally was able to be seen (by a nurse practitioner) I was given antibiotics but they have not taken care of the issue. When I called to be seen I was told to call back on the following Monday. So I did. Then again on Tuesday. And then again on Wednesday. Finally, after calling four days in a row, someone returned my call, and I was given an appt for seven days later. I am having pain and issues swallowing yet I cannot be seen for a week nor have a call returned for four days. I am looking for a new doctor.

Visited Dr. Senol after diagnosis of Stage 1 breast cancer and results of colonoscopy. Dr. Senol spent the necessary time to review results with me. As always, the staff was very friendly and helpful.

Dr. Senol is one of the most caring, compassionate human beings you'll meet. She makes you immediately feel comfortable! Visiting with her is like chatting with a dear friend, yet, she's very helpful, explains everything and a joy to know!

Decent doctor. Horrible office staff! Never answer thier phone, and NEVER return calls! Cannot get refills on medication when needed. I highly suggest seeing a different doctor!

Dr. Senol is excellent!

After seeing my PCP of 43 yrs., Dr. Patrick Majors, it is an understatement to say I was extremely nervous before my wellness exam last Dec. with my new PCP, Dr. Laurie Senol. Dr. Senol made the transition so comfortable that I knew I was in great hands. Between her and her staff, I look forward to having a wonderful doctor/patient relationship.

05/08/2019 – Glenda Little

Dr. Senol is the best physician i have ever had. She is personable and so attentive. She always takes your life and surroundings in account when doctoring you.

02/07/2025 – Tay Litty

Worth it! Dr. Senol is personable and thorough. I have never been able to spend so much one on one time with a doctor to tailor my health needs and goals. I cannot recommend Dr. Senol and her office enough!

I called two days in a row to inquire about refilling a prescription for cough medicine. No one called back the first day. The second day I was leaving for a trip out of town for the holiday weekend and let the nurse know I was waiting in order to get it filled. She never called back. The next day when I called the exchange I finally found out the prescription had been filled.

Dr. Senol has been a saving grace in my life. She's THE best doctor that I've ever had and have been seeing her for at least 30 years. She's the reason I stay with MD VIP. She just gets it, and her bed side manner is beautiful! I lucked out having her for my physician all of these years!!! Yay me! And kudos to the best doctor around!!!

I HAVE NOT MUCH TO REVIEW, THE OFFICE RUNS SMOOTHLY AND USUALLY IF I HAVE A QUESTION OR CONCERN I WILL CALL AND REGISTER SAME. RIGHT NOW I AM, AND HAVE BEEN, UNDER ALMOST DUPLICATE CARE FROM THE CARDIOLOGY DEPT FOR A-FIB...BUT UP TOTHIS POINT I HAVE NO QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS AND FEEL I AM WELL REPRESENTED SHOULD I NEED ADDITIONAL MEDICAL HELP. THANK YOU `JMR

Dr. Senol is our (me and my wife) Primary Care Physician for 20 years. We have always received perfect professional care from her!

05/05/2021 – Jennifer Abel

Dr Senol is fabulous! She’s very attentive, personable, and spends more time with you than any other doctor I’ve ever seen. At 58, I’ve probably seen at least 60 different doctors between me and taking my parents to appointments. I really like that when I call I get a live person every time. She has three people working just for her in the MDVIP practice. Frankly I’m surprised that someone had difficulty getting refills, because I got a call from them about two hours after I sent a message requesting and support staff is extensive! In fact I’m wondering if the person who gave a low rating due to not being able to get refills saw her at her old practice at Mercy. Mercy has a terrible reputation.
She also helped me to figure out why I was having so many headaches and they are 75% to 85% improved as a result. On two of my visits she spent more than an hour with me! I do not expect that every time, but I will tell you she allots at least 30 minutes per patient. The first time I saw her she spent 90 minutes and you can expect an extended visit for your first.

Dr. Senol & her staff are very personable. Someone always answers the phone which is unusual for most offices. The care I get is excellent.
