What Members Are Saying

Last February I saw Dr Ortega because of shortness of breath. This symptom had been present for months, but kept getting worse. He was very concerned and ordered a stat CT and Echo. The next day over 800 ccs of fluid was removed from my pericardium. It was life saving. I am so grateful for his concern and persistence

Phyllis

Patient of Lauro I. Ortega, MD

Dr. Ortega has been a blessing to both my husband and I. He is awesome, very knowledgeable and always has a smile no matter how stressful he may be. Few months ago, my husband had to get admitted to the hospital and he happened to be at the ER at the time and he came over to let us know he believed admission was best route to go and he would be there to check on him while at the hospital. Thankful for that continuity of care. He always takes the time to listen to our concerns and we feel he genuinely cares about our health. May God continue to bless you.

Norma

Patient of Lauro I. Ortega, MD

In the last six months, I was diagnosed with the following health issues: COVID 19 twice, suspected invasive breast carcinoma, a viral cough that lasted over 2 months, and a bad fall that caused extreme inflammation in both knees and made it very difficult for me to walk. Throughout all these miserable challenges, Dr. Lauro Ortega was there to guide my healing and wellbeing. He was the one who notified me about my breast cancer diagnosis and was not only sympathetic but also ordered the necessary MRI and biopsy tests and identified the surgeon and oncologist for me to see. (My breast surgery was January 3 and the lump was non malignant). Dr. Ortega has been very responsive to my medical needs, concerns and crisis, I was able to make appointments with him when needed as well as talk with him on the phone in a timely manner. He’s such a good listener and never made light of my issues. He was always very professional, knowledgeable and caring.

Meet 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.

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.
