Meet Michael Karing, MD

Webster defines wellness as the quality or state of being in good health, especially as an actively sought goal. My goal, as your physician, is to help you define and achieve that level of health that you are actively seeking. We work as a team to this end; each team member committed and determined. The MDVIP model is a third team member to help us achieve success.

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.

PSA. This Dr charges an annual $2100 fee to see him and be under his care?! His assistant Sam described this as a concierge service and its not covered by insurance or Medicare. Just wanted you to be aware. I've never heard of this. It's not like medical expenses aren't expensive as it is!

Dr Karing and I attended the same college of pharmacy. Physicians who have a previous degree in pharmacy are excellent when it comes to knowing about prescription drugs, non-prescription drugs. He’s a very caring physician. He gives me the time and empathy that I appreciate. And he’s very Christian individual. I respect him very much.

My wife and I have been extremely pleased with Dr. Karing as our physician. His philosophy of care is in line with our ideas of health. He listens very well, and is willing to look at evidence of alternative methods of treatments. He understands that we are intelligent, involved patients, and treats us accordingly.
Also, the MDVIP program allows all of us the time needed to have far ranging discussions about our health and other topics.
We consider him more that just our doctor, we consider him a friend.

My wife and I switched over to Dr. Karing a few years ago and MDVIP. We have really enjoyed having him as our primary care doctor. He is very available, and never makes us feel rushed. We liked him so much that I have switched my mother to his care and I am so VERY glad that I did. She adores him. Just last night she had need to call after hours, and sure enough, Dr Karing spoke to her and reassured her about her blood sugar levels. I can tell you one thing; I'm sure having that ability to speak with him likely gave her more sleep last night, and probably gave me extra sleep as well! Thank you Dr. Karing!!

Dr. Karing has been my doctor for about fifteen years (maybe longer) and since he began the MDVIP program his approach has definitely become that of my health provider and wellness coach instead of just treating my ailments when they arise. Coincidently when I responded to the email I had just been reading Keep Sharp: Build a Better Brain at Any Age by Sanjay Gupta, M.D. and had just finished Chapter 9,."Putting It All Together, 12 Weeks to Sharper" where he describes his advice through twelve steps. To my surprise, I learned that I am for the most part practicing his advice and greatly owe Dr.Karing's advice and guidance for my condition. I am an eighty four year old man who weighs the same as when I graduated collage and am in better shape, both mentally and physically, as I have been for most of my adult life. Thank you Dr. Karing.

Dr. Karing has been my PCP for 22 years. We moved over 60 miles away after he became my doctor. I have made this drive for 15 years now because he offers the kind of care that I want. Each visit he spends time with me until I have no more questions and been thoroughly examined and the issue is resolved or in the process of resolution. I never feel rushed to meet a time constraint.

This review is so up and down for me. My experience started off amazing with him and his practice. Then I had a lot going on. Trying to balance school and work so it was hard for me to make appointments but I always showed up within a reasonable time after. Then the worst happened. I lost 4 people close to me in a month. I had called that day to let them know I had to be at a funeral but instead of understanding he dismissed me as a patient. I take complete fault for being shaky with my appointments but to dismiss me for having to miss for a funeral is crazy. He didn’t even give me a warning saying if I had to reschedule again then I would lose care. I get a call stating it with no last warning. This treatment was saving my life. And to be just tossed away like that just shows me he doesn’t care about his patients. Also I’m young, and I would hear him with older patients in the room next and he was so laughable with them but when he came into my room he treated me like a was a bad person. Their nurse staff is Awesome but Dr. Karing is the reason the review is 1 Star.

Dr. Karing has now been my doctor for over 2 years. It has been a great experience in having a real doctor who listens to you and responds completely to your questions. We've talked about medications other doctors had me on and together decided which made sense and which didn't really work for me. But, it was all done in a very orderly way and totally with my agreement. I've never felt hurried through an appointment. He's helped me through some rough problems and given me one medication that no one else ever suggested that has worked what I consider a miracle. He is great doctor.

My son introduced me to Dr Karing many years ago. He’s been my Dr ever since. I love being able to talk to him whenever I need to and he knows me very well. I’m not embarrassed or afraid to tell him my personal feelings and thoughts about my health because he always listens. That’s pretty good for a 93 year old patient.
