About Philip S. Meaker, MD, MPH
I believe a primary care physician should be at the center of your healthcare. I chose medicine to combine my love of science with a genuine desire to help people. Over the course of my career, I have experienced healthcare from multiple perspectives—starting as a nursing assistant, then working in healthcare research and later serving as a hospitalist in a small rural hospital. Ultimately, I chose primary care because I value the long-term relationships I build with my patients and their families, and I have seen firsthand how prevention can play a critical role in maintaining health and quality of life.
My approach to medicine is grounded in scientific evidence and a collaborative partnership with each patient. Together, we can develop a personalized plan to support you as you pursue improving and maintaining your health. In my MDVIP-affiliated practice, prevention is a central focus. This begins with the annual MDVIP Wellness Program, including advanced screenings and tests focused on key areas of health to help identify risk factors and issues that could be treated earlier, prevented or even reversed. These comprehensive services are typically not available in most primary care settings, especially the unique inflammation testing developed with Cleveland HeartLab.
Because I care for a smaller panel of patients, I am able to spend more time with you in a relaxed setting—helping ensure that we can discuss all of your concerns and questions. I also offer same-day or next-day appointments, along with my after-hours availability for more urgent concerns.
I have been caring for patients in Victor, New York, for nearly 20 years. I am a board certified internist and a member of the American College of Physicians. My clinical interests include hypertension, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, COPD, nutrition and evidence-based medicine.
Outside of medicine, I have been married to my wife for over 25 years, and we have three grown daughters. In my free time, I enjoy reading, traveling, photography and woodworking.

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.
