Dr. Michael Book. For two and a half years, he became not only a healer but a source of solace for me as I walked through the arduous journey of my husband's stage 4 cancer. It all began with a somber diagnosis that shook the foundation of our lives. My husband, Denis, faced the battle of his life, and Dr. Book emerged as a guiding light during these dark times. His compassion was palpable,…

Had an issue that was not resolved elsewhere. I called my PCP, Dr. Michael Book and he managed to get me an appointment with specialist very quickly. The health issue is being resolved. Good follow up from his office as well.

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.
