What our members are saying

I have been a patient of Dr. Ralph Lanza for the past 34 years. During my association with Dr. Lanza he has never failed me in providing comfort, diagnosis, sincere caring and respect. When a medical specialist is recommended and needed, the specialist confirms the malady of concern and states, "Ralph sent you, didn't he, the man always hits the target". I am now 84 yrs. and rely on Dr. Lanza for…

Doctor Lanza has been my Primary Care Physician for many years. Always willing to spend time with you. Remember the time my son came to a visit with me and Dr. Lanza spent more than a hour extra time to explain my medical history and why I had many visits to my dermatologist. Very proud Dr. Lanza has been recognized for this award.

Ralph Lanza is more than just our doctor, he is almost part of our family. Not only is he a great physician, but he truly cares for each of the members of our family. He takes whatever time is needed to explain a medical issue and doesn’t sugar coat it. Then he tells you what we can do to make it better or at least live with it or may suggest another doctor or organization who may have more…

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.
