About Ritu Varma Dixon, MD
"The good physician treats the disease; the great physician treats the patient who has the disease." William Osler, MD
Early in my training, I was involved in academic research for many years, profoundly enhancing my ability to follow pharmacology, microbiology, clinical research and evidence-based medicine as a whole. I have practiced medicine in the Reno community since 2004, during which time I have honed my skills as a clinician and developed good associations with multiple excellent specialists in town. One of my great passions in life is being an internist.
As much as I take pleasure in the continued intellectual challenges of medicine, it is the patient relationships which bring me sincere joy. I cherish working with my patients to bring them to a life of better health, to help them flourish in their own passions without the burden of navigating the path to wellness alone. The MDVIP program allows me to assess patients more comprehensively than I was ever able to before, to focus on prevention and wellness, even amongst patients that already carry the weight of disease. Maintaining a smaller practice allows time together to explore what is most important to my patients while still focusing on the imperatives of treatment. My goal is to provide comprehensive, compassionate care in an elegant and modern environment, using evidence-based medicine and a solid knowledge of clinical science to guide my patients towards better health.
I do have several other delights in life, foremost being my children Alexander and Zoe. I enjoy travel, gourmet cooking, music, photography, and reading. I look forward to meeting you and learning about the passions which drive your life, as we focus on bringing you to an enhanced state of wellness.

You never feel rushed during your appointments and her staff is equally friendly and helpful. Regarding Covid, she is always up to date on recommendations regarding vaccinations, etc.
Always makes sure you know that she is attainable if you have a medical issue.

Thank you for taking care of my medical & health needs.
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.
