About Patricia J. Phillips, DO
My passion as a physician is to partner with patients to provide personalized healthcare and education. My goal is to help each patient achieve optimal health and prevent illness. In addition to the comprehensive MDVIP Annual Wellness Program, I offer full primary care medical services. When a patient faces a health challenge or serious illness, I will help manage their care and be a strong patient advocate. I also believe it is important to support the patient and their families through treatments and daily challenges. I am available for urgent medical guidance after hours and when you travel.
My osteopathic medical training and 30 years of practice has focused on the care of the whole person, not just the illness. I believe this is necessary to help a person achieve optimal health and maintain quality of life.
I have a strong interest in nutrition in both prevention and treatment of disease. I have completed Tulane University's Culinary Medicine course for physicians and regularly attend continuing education courses through the American College of Lifestyle Medicine, Plantrician Project and Physicians for Social Responsibility. After years of reading research, I have adopted a plant-based diet and have assisted interested patients in doing so 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.
