When a dear friend recommended Dr. Mark Dodson and the MDVIP program in Corpus Christi I was a little hesitant, but that soon changed after signing up!

Wow, I can’t believe it’s been almost 8 years since I started seeing Dr Dodson. I have been through some difficult times over these past few years and honestly, now much of it seems like it went by in a blur - for a period of time I was in survival mode just trying to keep moving forward and maintain my sanity and some sense of normalcy in the midst of loss and major life changes. I know I…

I usually see Jami Dodson. She is a good fit for me. She is straight forward and very thorough. She returns phone calls and texts in a timely manner. My husband and I are both pleased with the health care we have received from Jami Dodson and Dr.Mark Dodson.

I have been with my MDVIP Dr over a year now and am extremely satisfied. In fact, my Dr saved my life this past August when I had a medical emergency and went to the ER. The ER sent me home and I contacted my MDVIP Dr. I was sent for an X-ray and before I got home I received a phone call advising me to immediately go to a different hospital ER, they were expecting me, and unfortunately I would have to have emergency surgery. Love my Dr and entire staff. They literally saved my life.

from the Dr's office: Dr. Dodson, Family Medicine physician, offers a different approach to primary care. He sees fewer patients, which means more time for each one. Patients appreciate same/next-day appointments that start on time and aren't rushed; plus they can usually reach his 24/7.

they can do that because they charge an additional $1,800 to you, the patient, out of pocket, on every visit! It's called being a VIP, so yeah, there's that. But don't worry, they said they will take installments of that $1800.

Not a doctors office it's an annual check up for a yearly subscription. Don't call if you need anything because you have to go online pay and then they can deny you, rude staff when being asked questions.

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.
