About Linda M. Gerrits, MD
I joined MDVIP so that I could have more time for personalized patient care in my private office located in Westlake Village. I provide the primary care for my patients, not a nurse practitioner or a nurse assistant. With me, you have time to ask your questions and for me to respond.
Many of my patients want to emphasize wellness and preventive care. My MDVIP affiliation helps me do just that. I can provide a greater commitment of time and testing to help identify risk earlier. My MDVIP-affiliated practice offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices. I want to take care of the “whole you,” both physical and emotional.
My philosophy of medicine is primum non nocere as Hippocrates, regarded as the father of medicine, said: “First, do no harm.” I listen to my patients, as I believe that understanding the needs and concerns of each patient is a primary tool for providing customized preventive care, more proper diagnosis, and appropriate treatment.
I trained at the University of Michigan, and I am board certified in internal medicine and in nephrology, the specialty of medicine dealing with kidney disease. I have been on the staff of Los Robles Regional Medical Center in Thousand Oaks for over 20 years, where I was the first woman elected chief of internal medicine. My primary care practice sees patients from Ventura to Woodland Hills, with some coming from as far as Temecula and Palmdale.

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.
