About R. Dan Bieser, DO FAAFP ABFM
As your family doctor, my goal is to help address your health concerns in a more individualized way. As an MDVIP-affiliated physician, I can review your acute and chronic illness concerns and provide more personalized care that focuses on wellness and preventive care. You can enjoy conveniences such as a personal patient portal, same- or next-day office visits, telehealth appointments and reachability on my private phone number for more urgent needs after business hours.
My passion for medical care is driven, not only by my love of medicine, but also by my concern and caring for patients and their well-being. Through the annual MDVIP Wellness Program, subsequent treatment plans and more frequent correspondence, I aim to provide more individualized care with the goal of better preventing illness, as well as to spend more time discussing your chronic health ailments.
As an MDVIP-affiliated primary care physician, I try to help my patients remain happier, healthier and, ideally, out of the hospital. I believe healthier living involves regular exercise, healthier eating, preventive health screenings and a review of chronic conditions. I think these are also the keys to better achieving your health goals. More personalized plans can provide practical, specific recommendations to better monitor each patient’s health.

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.
