Now, as your personal MDVIP-affiliated physician, I will have the time and resources to more comprehensively advocate for your health and well-being.

My philosophy is to be fully engaged with you and partner with you to identify and achieve your health goals. As I strive for physical, emotional and spiritual health in my own life, I hope to encourage you to do the same so you can live a vibrant and healthy life. As your personal physician, our partnership is instrumental to promoting balance, margin and health in all aspects of your life. I look forward to getting to know you!

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.

Dr. Coulombe is head and shoulders above any other physician I have ever known. He and his staff are truly concerned for my health and well-being and his practice exudes a feeling of "we're family and all in this together." The peace of mind knowing that I can reach Dr. Coulombe 24/7 if ever necessary is priceless. He is always straight forward with me, yet at the same time kind and thoughtful. He will never let any health issue I have fall by the wayside and is diligent and unstoppable in finding causes and treatment and he never hesitates to recommend specific specialists. I wish everyone could know the comfort of having a PCP like Dr. Paul Coulombe.

I have known Dr. Coulombe for about 10 years in a professional relationship. He has been dedicated to serving our family with the highest standard of knowledge, care, compassion, responsiveness and follow-up . He has worked with me to reduce my vitals and weight to almost all within normal ranges. In addition, the annual wellness and prevention program has helped to sustain continue follow-up with my health problems. Dr. Coulombe saved my life from prostate cancer with early detection and immediate referrals and follow-up care with a urologist and oncology cancer specialist. Dr. Coulomber has exceeded my expectations with the overall health care I have received.

You will not find a finer family practice doc than Paul Coulombe. Truly one of the finest. I was a patient of Dr. Coulombe for many years, as were both of my sons. We all adored our doctor. But then Dr. Coulombe became one of those club practices that sees only dues-paying members, and that was the last we heard of Dr. Coulombe. I would have liked to know more about how to join such a club, but I likely don't have the correct DNA. I have not had a PCP for several years now, so I thought I would reach out to Dr. Coulombe again this week. Problem is, I am not a member of the club that he's in, so I could not talk to a live person. With no other options available, I left a message explaining who I am and inquired if Dr. Coulombe might be interested in adding an old patient to his club roster, but I never even received the courtesy of a return phone call, so that pretty much told me all I needed to know. And I'm still a man without a PCP. But if you are a member of Dr. Coulombe's club, your are most fortunate. Do not lose your vaunted perch like I did!

And he still our most fantastic Dr!

Without exception, I would put Dr. Coulombe in the literal 1% of top family doctors in the country. He is consistently updating his skills, research and training. He has outstanding relational intelligence and leads a top level team at his office. We are fortunate and blessed to have him as our primary care physician for several years.

I am beyond grateful that Dr. Coulombe is my children's doctor. I actually found him almost 7 years ago when I was trying to find a pediatrician for our first child. My husband wanted a family practitioner so that we would all be able to see the same doctor. Not sure how we lucked out in getting Dr. Coulombe...I think the stars were aligned that day. He is by far THE BEST DOCTOR I've ever been around. He is so attentive, nurturing, caring, supportive, kind, funny...the list goes on. He truly cares about both of our boys and their well beings. He takes time to listen to them and engage in conversation with them. Our visits are always so great and our boys (6 1/2 and 5 years old) never worry about going to the doctor. They actually get excited. I hope he's around for many years so our boys always have a doctor like Dr. Coulombe in their lives. Also he answers all my text messages that I send to him frequently. Just such peace of mind having him as our doctor.

Dr. Coulombe is patient and truly compassionate, as well as extremely competent and skilled in diagnosing what the issues are.

I recently had my left knee replaced and in my 3rd week of recovery Dr Coulombe stopped by my house to see how I was doing. He is an outstanding doctor!!! Thanks, Brian

My wife and I have been with Dr Coulombe for almost 10 years now, and we couldn't be happier with the care we receive - not just from Dr C, but from the entire team at Covenant Care. This is truly an place where the patient comes first - and their follow up is some of the best we have ever experienced. The office staff even went to bat for us one time, in helping us navigate through some insurance issues we had...and were ultimately successful in getting our coverage straightened out. I don't know how common it is to call your physician a friend as well as your Doctor, but we are certainly thankful that God brought Dr Coulombe and his team into our lives.

Dr. Coulombe provides caring, personal medical care in an era where those qualities in a physician are in extremely short supply. He is incredibly bright, personable, and competent, yet never lets ego get in his way if something baffles him, and has no problem referring a complex problem to a specialist. He has been my physician for over 20 years and, since switching to his MDVIP practice, is able to practice medicine the way he always hoped he could. I have referred several patients to him and each one sings his praises. He is a shining light in the often very stormy and foreboding field of Primary Care Medicine. I shudder to think of him ever retiring!
