About Richard D. Card II, DO
I chose a career in medicine to help people navigate the complex and nuanced world of healthcare. I knew it would take a committed partnership between each patient and me to work toward shared goals, such as longevity while balancing joy.
However, after over 10 years of private practice, I had evolved as a physician and found myself at the crossroads. I wanted to give my patients more than I could in a traditional setting, which led me to affiliate with MDVIP.
My new practice model allows me to develop deeper relationships with patients, so they don’t feel like just another number. Your visits will be unhurried, allowing me more time to dive deeper into your health and tailor health education. The goal is for every patient to feel heard and walk away feeling the interaction was valuable.
My MDVIP-affiliated practice offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in traditional medicine practices. Most importantly, it provides time. Time to answer all your questions: What does all this mean? How can I improve? Should I be doing more? Am I doing enough?
If this is what you have been looking for, then join my MDVIP-affiliated practice at New River Valley Medicine in Fairlawn, VA. Together, we will work to “push up” your health to help you achieve and maintain a higher quality of life and support you through life’s adventures.

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.
