About Neil R. Okamura, DO
I approach my patients as if your illness is my own, and consider the best options for recovery. A prescription or procedure may not create wellness; therefore, I explore your physical, mental and emotional needs as well. I feel a balance of these components are required to obtain optimal health. I look forward to our time to educate, support and understand your needs.

What our members are saying
Soon after I enrolled in MDVIP I had an anxiety attack. Dr. Okamura was available at all times to see me through it. With his help, suggestions, and CBT I was able to finally get through it.

My idea of wanting to leave this world drug-free is becoming less realistic with age. As I get older, staying healthy is becoming ever so important. It seems that eating better, living healthier and taking supplements is not always enough. My incentive to sign up with Dr. Neil Okamura can be summarized in his specialty, Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.). Turns out, he is as close to an…

Dr O, you always listen, are upbeat, positive and possess an incredible knowledge of not only new and older medications, but natural ways to attack health problems. You don't give up and are always caring and thorough in attacking a problem. I am so grateful that you are my doctor and a part of my life!! Thank you for being who you are!

I've been seeing Dr. Okamura for 10 years or so. He is the epitome of what a medical professional should be.....approachable, knowledgeable, reachable .. He is extremely well read on current trends in medicine, has a hands on approach, is not afraid to refer to specialists, but is judicious about that.
I can recommend Dr. O without equivocation.

It would be nice to have doctors, members of the MDVIP organization, with many specializations. Developing a closer relationship among doctors is important to ensure better coordination and communication, ultimately leading to improved patient care and outcomes. A more collaborative approach among healthcare professionals can help identify and address potential issues earlier, leading to more effective and efficient treatment plans. Additionally, building strong relationships among doctors can also help foster a culture of continuous learning and growth, which can benefit both individual physicians and the healthcare system as a whole.

The very extensive yearly physicals are well worth the expense of having a concierge doctor like Dr. Neil Okamura especially for those who are older and have had serious health issues. Evaluations and tests on an annual basis are essential for maintaining good health, plus Dr. Okamura is the BEST for taking time to explain the issues and suggest solutions. Every day good health during the rest of the year is also covered. After a very painful pancreatitis attack, Dr. Okamura saw me the same day, gave me tests and dealt successfully with the issue. Recently, having a serious wound, I sent a picture to his nurse. He called me with a detailed plan that didn’t involve either emergency or a doctor’s visit. Probably this is the best part of using his practice—having an available consultation that keeps me, the patient, in control of my health with the caveat that I should see him if the home procedures did not solve the problem. My husband and I are very happy as clients of Dr. Okamura.

Dr. Okamura is truly a one of a kind doctor and his team is wonderful. His partner Cynthia offers wellness coaching and I think it’s such a great complement to medicine for true health and wellness. As a licensed physical therapist, I have the opportunity to meet many patients and they all have wonderful things to say about Dr. O and his team. He is a big believer in natural remedies including nutrition, hands on manual therapy and exercise such as Pilates. I’d highly recommend Dr O and his team!

I recently entered a phase requiring shoulder replacement; however this is delayed by TAVR surgery and followup warfarin treatment. Neil has remained very involved ensuring side issues are managed; he is closely monitoring effects upon other organs to ensure focus on the one discipline does not cause collateral damage. In doing this he interceded unexpectedly (for which I am very grateful!) and alerted me and my cardio to these issues. He has personally phoned in evenings and weekends to make timely contact and corrections, exactly what I expect of my MDVIP association. I'm very satisfied!

Dr Okamura has been the primary physician for my wife and I for a good part of the last 20 years. Both of us are retirees; I am 83 and she is 72. He appears to keep up with the current trends in medicine, which for me as a scientist is very important. He has solved several pain issues associated with my wife and me. In a very serious incident with my health, he was easily available and made several visits with me during rehabilitation. He has an excellent bedside manner, is easy to talk with, and takes a genuine interest in our healthcare needs. He is an accomplished doctor and a great guy. We are very happy that we found someone like him to serve at the frontline of our medical needs. We have not infrequently recommended him to our friends and relatives.
I would add that he introduced us the ProLon 5 day diet/fasting program. Over the last couple of years both my wife and I have each particpated in the program at approximately six-month intervals. It has been great for keeping our weights stable and has generally helped us to better maintain healthy eating habits.

Dr Okamura has been incredible primary care physician, keeping my best medical interest in mind, for the last 25 years. He has always had the time to see me on all of the various issues that arrived unexpectedly during our relationship...well before he became an MDVIP physician. I want occasion, and talking to him while I was in Los Angeles, he was able to recognize a serious condition and insisted I see him the following day. I flew in from LA and was it admitted i to the hospital for DVT’s/ pulmonary embolism. His incredible recognition of the issue and triaging me to the front of the line at his office probably saved my life. Enough said.
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.
