About Merritt S. Huber III, MD
I was drawn to medicine by a natural curiosity about science and biology and the opportunity to apply that knowledge in service of others. Over time, the most meaningful aspect of practice has become the relationships I build with patients and the ability to understand their lives in a broader context.
I also see one of my strengths as helping patients make sense of complexity. I enjoy translating medical information into practical and understandable terms so that patients feel more confident in their decisions. When patients clearly understand their options, they are better able to participate in their care, which leads to more thoughtful and sustainable outcomes.
My approach emphasizes proactive, preventive care and careful attention to each patient’s overall health. This perspective has led me to structure my practice so that I can focus more deeply on each patient, identify risks earlier, and plan more intentionally for the long term.
Medicine continues to satisfy my original curiosity, and I remain committed to learning and incorporating new evidence and innovations while keeping the individual patient at the center of care.

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.
