Meet Paul E. Bristol, MD
Over the years, I have thoroughly enjoyed the practice of family medicine. During that time, I have had the privilege of caring for many families, often times over generations. I believe the doctor-patient relationship is a critical part of delivering quality healthcare. Everything I have done for my practice is to ensure that I can continue to maintain a positive relationship with my patients and provide them with the quality care that they deserve. Given that the healthcare scene evolves rapidly, I do everything I can to continue educating myself in order to handle each patient with the most effective care possible.
Of particular interest is my passion of fighting cardiovascular disease. As a graduate of the Bale-Doneen Method, I strive for the most comprehensive preventive or effective treatment, when possible. Aside from the practice of medicine, my devotion is to my family and spirituality. My extracurricular activities include music, especially jazz and classical, as well as running.

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.

I have been a patient of Dr Bristol for over 30 years. Whenever I visit his office I am relaxed because I know that I will be treated with respect and dignity. Everyone on his staff is always pleasant and friendly. I appreciate the way he addresses anything that arise as "our problem," that we can solve together. His abitly to explain, share, and teach is remarkable.
The emphasis he place on preventive medicine, and addressing health issues early when diagnosed, is very comforting and reassuring. I have the ultimate respect for Dr. Bristol, Nurse Diane, and the rest of his team. Thanks for taking care of me!

Been with Dr. Bristol for over 20 years and can't appreciate how his personal care has encouraged me to be diligent in ensuring I follow the program and I see the improvements in my health. Can't thank him enough. I am proud to say that my son is now being seen by Dr. Bristol abd he lives him.

Dr. Bristol has been my doc for 30 years and he's been awesome. He'll get on me if I get lazy about weight or dieting. Now that he's a part of the MDVIP program we get a chance to sit and discuss things thoroughly rather than be herded in and out of the office, and that makes a huge difference to me. He's the best!

Dr. Paul Bristol has been my primary provider for more than 30 years. He has always been a doctor that would listen to me and give me the attention needed to resolve or refer me to other physicians who may help. He is always thorough with the exam he gives and the labs he has ordered. I cannot say enough good things about him and his practice. His staff are also always considerate and knowledgeable of my needs. I have always been able to get in touch with him when needed, once it was on the weekend.

Dr. Bristol takes his time and explains illnesses. Awesome to work with and a very easy Dr. staff is great as well.

Since 2017, I have been MDVIP patient. I am passionate to manage health through lifestyle modification. During May 2023 visit to Dr. Paul E. Bristol, a goal was set to achieve A1C less than 5.7 from 5.8. After six month follow up visit during October, A1C was discovered 6.3.

from Catherine in TX • January 26, 2024
Dr. Bristol has taken care of my family for many years so we did not hesitate to signup when he moved to MDVIP. Why go to another PCP when we already had the best. When my husband's mother came to live with us, Dr. Bristol took her on as a patient and provided excellent care until she went to heaven. When I was diagnosed with cancer a few years ago, Dr. Bristol coordinated my care with my Read more...
I Never Would Have Made It
from Connie in TX • January 20, 2024
When I first met Dr. Paul E Bristol, it was almost 30 years ago. He ran a full panel of my blood and called me to share my results. I recall that conversation like it was yesterday. He said, my cholesterol was over 300 and if he was reviewing 10 patient charts, I would be the one he would predict to not be hear long. I know that sounds hard but it was just what I needed to hear because that Read more...
