About Paul Bresnan, MD
Forming a partnership with my patients through listening, empathy and respect is what I find most exciting and motivating about being a doctor.
I look at a lot of lab tests, x-ray reports and hospital records, but it is sitting down with the patient and learning about them, who they are, what they do, who they love and what they want out of their life that I look forward to everyday.
The goal of my MDVIP-affiliated primary care practice is to maintain and deepen my partnerships with patients as I accompany them on their life journeys.
I practice internal medicine at the Watson Clinic, a multi-specialty group practice, and I have been there for 38 years.
I am affiliated with Orlando Health Lakeland Highlands Hospital and Lakeland Regional Medical Center. I often refer patients to Watson Clinic specialists when needed, but I can also refer to specialists at other practices if the need arises.
I see patients from Lakeland, Florida, and a wide surrounding area, including Bartow, Winter Haven, Auburndale, Lake Wales, Polk City and Plant City. Other areas include Osceola County, Lake County, Sumter County, Polk County, Orange County, Pasco County, Hillsborough County, Hardee County and Lee County.

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.
