Lawrence V. Deck III, MD

My husband joined MDVIP before I did and he convinced me I needed to see Dr. Deck too, as he was so knowledgeable and patient, taking the time to review and explain labs in great detail without being rushed. While I had been turned off by a lot of medical practices that were impersonal and dismissive or the doctor thought all they needed to know they learned in med school, I found Dr. Deck to be quite the opposite. Always researching and looking for further explanations of the unusual, Dr. Deck has caught several things in my labs/physicals that had gone unnoticed by others. He also listens to my viewpoint in research I have done myself and he encourages me to seek out other opinions before making my own decisions. In coordinating my care with other physicians, he has made the process more cohesive. His staff is super professional, warm and accommodating.

I have been seeing Dr Lawrence Deck for more than a Quarter of a Century. He is the most knowledgeable, caring and understanding physician I know and I know many physicians, either professionally or as friends. During my last annual physical I thanked him for all he has done over the past 30 years to keep me in excellent health, still working and enjoying life at my current age of 82 years. His reply: “I didn’t do it, you did with your overall practices good health practices”. He has referred me for successful cataract surgery, basal cell surgery and carpal tunnel surgery. He explains everything in detail and I appreciate this.

I am from a different medical background. Having taught Medical Technology for the medical school in New Mexico, being around doctors and nurses was a way of life. My MDVIP physician does not run me in and out of his office in order to see as many patients a day as I have experience during visits to other physicians, he truly is interested in answering my questions and taking time to just talk and explain. I am truly grateful for his expertise but most of all his friendship. What a wonderful feeling it is having a knowledgeable professional but a personal friend.

We wish Dr. Deck a Happy National Doctor's Day and thanking you for the many years of Preventive Care you have provided for both of us! Every office visit you have provided us with a calm, quite and no rushed visit. We do appreciate your promptness in prescribing medications, ordering blood tests or any other medical care we might need. Please know you are greatly appreciated and we look forward to your continued care. P.S. Thanks to your friendly office staff and their willingness to assist us.
