When we first met, it was backstage at the EFX show. Little did I know that this guy was gonna end up saving my life, healing my body and my mind. Docs patient care for an over imaginative theatre person, is beyond equal. As I've aged and not enjoyed the body aging process, he has kept me paying attention to what this ancient body needs to function. Having endured the referrals for more…

I have had to contact Dr. Gunter twice on an emergency basis. Each time, he made room for me in his busy schedule right away. Most recently, I was able to see him within hours. Even though he was very busy, he didn't rush me, he listened, and he took the time to thoroughly explain treatment and answer questions.

Exceptional care, exceptional office staff and exceptional doctor. I have nothing but great things to say about Dr. Gunter and his practice. I always receive prompt and highly personalized service. It's rare to find a doctor and staff that actually listen to and promptly address your needs and concerns and Dr. Gunter and his staff do just that. I have been very satisfied with the level of service and care I receive.

Dr. Gunter is the first doctor I have ever gone to that spends enough time with me to understand and help me. He not only treats me when I have had an issues but try to help prevent future health issues. I have been so grateful that he has responded to issues on weekends and after hours. He is really the best and I feel like he is a close friend in addition to my doctor.

I don't know were to begin. I contacted the front office secretary or medical assistant and asked her if I can schedule an appointment it is my first time. She asked me if I was referred by a patient or by a doctor. I stated "no" not at this time. She stated well I cant schedule you an appointment because you were not referred by a patient or a doctor. WOW I was so surprised to here that .. That reminds me of discrimination and the laws of medical practice. I cannot even put a one star. I am trying to find a good doctor who is knowledgeable to go to for myself and family and this is what I get "ESPECIALLY IN THE SUMMERLIN AREA. Do they know I do referrals for all my residents. I will definitely not refer one resident this location. BAD IDEA calling this place. The girls name was Teyana or Johonna. That was not pleasant to here today.

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.
