About Lauro I. Ortega, MD
My objective, as an internal medicine doctor and an MDVIP-affiliated primary care physician, is to develop a strong, personalized relationship with all of my patients. My practice allows for individualized care that focuses on prevention and wellness. I am able to provide customized medical care to fit each patient’s medical needs. My practice allows me to spend more time with my patients and the ability to get to know all my patients by name and not as a “case” or a “stroke in bed 3”. Because I treat all my patients as a whole with my personalized care, we can try to prevent hospital admissions, as well as readmissions. Similar to conveniences often associated with concierge medicine practices, I also offer same- or next-day appointments that start on time.
With my experience in hospital medicine as a hospitalist and my affiliation with major local hospitals, I will be available during my patient’s time of need. I will see my patients and help follow their medical care should they become hospitalized.

I don’t think I’ve ever waited more than five minutes when it’s my appointment day.
My doctor has called me on Christmas Eve to make sure I was feeling well and I’ve never had a doctor in my life do that
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.
