What our members are saying

I have been a patient of Dr. Fentriss for 20 + years now since before she became affiliated with MDVIP. Being someone with a Chronic Neurodegenerative disease for which there is still no cure, . it was a no brainer when it came to whether I was going to stay with Dr. Fentriss, I knew I needed someone who cared enough about me to be in it for the long haul. Also, the fact that being a member of…

I am thankful for Dr. Fentriss! She has been my doctor for 20+ years and I wouldn’t want it any other way. She has listened and diagnosed my many ailments and has made many great referrals to specialists to further my care. She is down to earth and extremely easy to talk to, this coming from someone (myself) who finds it hard to open up and share. I have been in many Dr. offices, whether it…

Bottom line is I hope she never retires, because she would be so hard to…

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.
