About Richard G. Michal, MD

I am a family physician and primary care physician who has practiced in the Rocky Mount, North Carolina, area my entire medical career. I started the faith-based Rocky Mount Family Medicine Center in 1983 and continue to stay involved in our wonderful community. I provide personalized healthcare using advanced tools and testing combined with a model that provides more time for us to connect and discuss your health concerns. My goal is to put the caring aspect back into a visit to the doctor!

My MDVP-affiliated practice offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in other concierge medical practices. We are pleased to provide a same-day or next-day appointments for more urgent care needs with minimal wait time. And you can expect to see me, your personal doctor, not an extended-care provider.

From the moment you enter our practice, you can sense a difference. You can see pleasant surroundings and hear thoughtful, meditative music. My staff is attentive and works to help make your visit more personalized. Often, my patients and I end up laughing in the exam room because, while medical care is serious, I believe in finding enjoyment in our lives and things around us. I hope you consider becoming part of our family here at our practice!

I pride myself on combining approaches that involve both traditional and prescription-based care but also on lifestyle approaches and holistic health alternatives. I support an evidence-based approach, influenced by my years of experience teaching medical students in an academic setting. I also find comfort in my faith-based approach to life.

I want to first thank Dr. Natalie Doyle who referred me to Dr. Richard Michal in Rocky Mount. I was very nervous about getting to know a new Dr. after my former Dr. and her family decided to move to for a new adventure. Dr. Michal has made it so easy for this transition as he understood from the start how difficult it can be to change and put your trust in a new person. His Staff has been…

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.
