Reviews from the web
Dr. Pennington is wonderful; extremely warm, friendly, knowledgeable and easy to get to. Most importantly, he makes himself available at short notice if needed and never rushes you. A visit with him is invariably a pleasure ... and very comforting. He listens well and really personalizes your treatment. Thank you Dr. Pennington ... and MD-VIP.
The staff are wonderful. It's helpful to have the lab men & women onsite. The lab staff are professional and more than competantant. The office redo is a relief. Old furniture was awful. Looked ok but was uncomfortable. If my greatest worry is the furniture, then I have no worries.
I truly respect my physician. He is an asset to my life. It's hard to afford the annual fee but I make it work because Dr Pennington is so good, so smart, and more importantly, so caring. He is a good man.
A nurse with whom I worked recommended him when I needed a new MD. She was spot on. This is a good match.
Lee saved my life twice. I doubt he even remembers. The first time was shortly after we met. I'll never forget. I was stunned. My reg doc retired and I was in and out with other docs and there was such an absence of awareness and caring. I was shocked. I grew up with docs and except for those few years my relationship with docs was great. Docs for me, for my kids, for my spouse. Then managed care came and all bets were off. The care declined. Finding Dr Pennington was a relief.
Look, Dr P knows he's smart. He knows I'm smart. He appears to respect me as a nurse. Well, he has told me this so I choose to believe he does.
He is a great MD. He is a nice man. I wish him a long life with many great things. I'm so grateful.
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.
