Dr. Zacharatos

Meet Mario Zacharatos, MD


Thomas Edison once said, “The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will instruct his patient in the care of the human frame, in diet and in the cause and prevention of disease.” This is the type of personalized care that would improve patient health. As a primary care physician, prevention of disease and compassionate care is what I strive for. My affiliation with MDVIP allows me to take each individual patient and give them the time and care they require. In today’s medical system, people are not getting the care they need, so they seek care from sources outside of traditional medicine. I believe that when medicine is practiced in the manner it was supposed to be, with time and care, the benefits to the individual are innumerable. I believe MDVIP is the answer to Thomas Edison’s prayers.   

Personally, I am a board-certified family medicine physician and have been in private practice for over 7 years. I specialize in primary, personalized care in the outpatient setting for people of all walks of life and of all ages. I have a special interest in geriatric care as well as preventive medicine and cardiovascular health. I am affiliated with Cape Cod Healthcare System and Cape Cod Hospital. As your private doctor who takes the time to know you and your health, I will be able to assist you in striving to live a long and healthy life. I also offer conveniences, like same- or next-day appointments that start on time, which may be found in concierge medicine practices. My MDVIP-affiliated primary care practice currently serves all of Cape Cod, including Yarmouth, Dennis, Harwich, Brewster, Chatham, Orleans, and Sandwich, Massachusetts.

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.

Our experience with D.Z is exceptional. We were involved with a MVP Doctor for years when we lived in Florida. We chose to find a MVP Dr .when we moved to MA Dr. Z had big shoes to fill since we were with our previous doctor for 13 years. He is everything we were looking for and we are thankful that we are his patients.

Dr. Z is an outstanding doctor in every way. He listens to me, is readily available. Stays on top of all my conditions and immediately sends me to a specialist, when needed. He follows up on everything. He is personable, understanding, extremely knowledgeable, respectful of his patients, honest and open . I feel so lucky to have him as my doctor.

Callous, unprofessional, immature, thinks he knows everything!

Dr. Zacharatos was my primary physician when he lived in another state. I was his patient for three years. I contracted debilitating, life altering, health shattering Epstein Barr Virus ten and a half years ago. I was under his care, but he never recommended anything to me to get better. I had to quit my career. I even asked him why I wasn't getting better. He tartly replied "your stress levels!"

I then corrected him and told him that my stress levels were far less than they were since I was on medical leave. I went back to him after all of my leave ran out and I had to quit my job. He said that I had "fibromyalgia." He wrote on his form that I would never get better. I was 26 years old with no energy at all, horrific pain, muscles that stopped working properly, and my health deteriorated so that I spent all of my time not passing out.

He NEVER bothered to run any tests on me. He NEVER recommended that I go to other doctors to get well. He NEVER offered any practical suggestions for me to get my life back. Since Dr. Zacharatos proved that he could not help me in any practical way, I sought the expertise of another physician.

Dr. Zacharatos had the gall to send ME, the patient he failed to understand and didn't try to help in any way, a letter chastising me for seeking another physician's advice! Dr. Zacharatos didn't offer any empathy to me at all, even though he said that, at the age of 26, I would live a horrible life not worth living, either. So, Dr. Zacharatos will do nothing for you, offer no practical advice, not be empathetic about your situation, and become so insulted that you sought another doctor's advice even after becoming debilitated at the age of 26 that he will remove you from his practice!

Perhaps Dr. Zacharatos managed to turn a new leaf and have a personality changing transformation. Perhaps the reviewers haven't gone in to any real crisis situations like mine. Either way, I wouldn't trust him ever again. (I thought he didn't deserve any stars for his callous, unprofessional treatment of me. However, my no star review wasn't accepted. The one star is only there because the system requires it.)

Both my wife and I love Dr. Z. He's a young doctor who's current with his understanding of medical best practices, the latest technology, and he is connected with other members of the local medical community so he's able to give excellent referrals when necessary. Because he's part of the MDVIP plan, visits to Dr. Z are always un-rushed, and you feel like he really knows you as a person. Dr. Z is available, essentially, any time. Patients get an office number, the doctor's cell number, and email. If I ask a question via cell phone text message I seldom wait more than an hour to get an answer and we can routinely get same-day appointments if something comes up. MDVIP isn't for free... there's a yearly cost, but every year you get a comprehensive multi-day physical that is covered by the membership fee that's well worth the price of admission. Dr. Z and MDVIP... it's a modern version of an old time "country doctor".

Dr. Zacharatos is the best Physician I have ever worked with. I have personally recommended him to approximately 20 other patients. He took care of my children until they were 25 free of charge. I enjoy seeing him and his wife Liz. They are engaging and friendly. My only concern is that I have heard rumors that he may be moving to a high crime section of Yarmouth which is being used to provide housing to illegal aliens. His present office is in a safe, easy to get to area. Why change that?

Dr. Zacharatos is the best internist I have had in 50 years . He is knowledgeable, available and unfailingly polite and professional. His staff reflects the time and attention he devotes to his patients. I have never felt rushed or minimalized. Although he has been here just about one year, he has quickly developed relationships with specialists in the area.

This is the third time I've had a pre-physical checkup and they are the most useful exams I've ever had! Not only does Liz (RN) explain what she's doing and why she's doing it, she is friendly and professional at the same time. She takes real interest in her patients! she is a great asset to the office.

Yes, I have recommended friends go to see Dr Zacharatos, but I think that his practice is full and no longer taking patients. Get on a wait list if you can!
