About Nedsely Vila, MD, FACP
I believe in providing personalized care to my patients. As a primary care physician, my approach is rooted in the idea of treating the patient as a whole person, considering their physical and mental health and overall well-being. I believe “the good physician treats the disease, the great physician treats the patient who has the disease,” as famous physician Sir William Osler notably said.
My passion lies in establishing stronger relationships with my patients. I genuinely want to get to know each individual, listen to their concerns and understand their unique needs and goals. By working collaboratively, we can develop a personalized health plan that better encompasses their overall wellness objectives. I firmly believe in the power of prevention and strive to help empower my patients as they work to stay on top of their health, rather than focus on just treating illnesses or diseases when they arise.
Throughout my career, I have explored various healthcare settings, including primary care, hospital medicine and academic medicine. Recently, as the Associate Program Director at Piedmont Athens Regional hospital, I have had the privilege of teaching and mentoring future internal medicine physicians. This experience has further shaped my approach to patient care, emphasizing the importance of providing more individualized attention and proactive care.
Having lived in the Oconee County, Georgia, area for over a decade, I have developed a deep connection to this community. I am pleased to serve my neighbors in Watkinsville, Athens, Farmington, Bishop, North High Shoals, Bogart and Clarke County. In my quest to find helpful ways to care for my community and patients, I discovered the MDVIP model. It supports the invaluable gift of more time, helping me to deliver more personalized and proactive care. I am genuinely excited to partner with you on a health journey and work together to help you pursue your wellness goals. Let's build a partnership based on trust, open communication and mutual respect as we navigate your medical needs and help you as you work to feel healthier from the inside out.

Reviews from the web
Dr. Vila made a home visit to one very close friend on the last day of her life. She called me with condolences several days later because she knew we were close. I will always remember her kindness to my friend and to me during that difficult time. It meant so much. I can’t really imagine any other doctor I have ever had offering that kindness and support.
I recommend her to everyone I know.
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.
