About Robert Axonovitz, MD, FACP

I have been practicing medicine for nearly three decades and have seen the changes occurring in practices today. I was fortunate to find MDVIP because they believe in prevention and wellness, which is the basis of optimal care for my patients’ daily lives. I am very excited to practice medicine in my new MDVIP-affiliated practice because I will have the ability to answer my patients’ questions and concerns without time constraints. I love spending time with my patients since each and every one is my top priority. I have always appreciated the personal relationships that have evolved over the years not only with my patients, but their families as well.

What our members are saying

I have been a patient of Robert Axonovitz, M.D. for approximately thirty years - and truly can’t imagine what my life would have been like without his skills. He is a super diagnostician, a trusted practitioner and has always been interested in keeping me as healthy as I can possibly be. He is a kind encourager and a true gentleman.

I first met Dr.Axonovitz when he joined a practice of a well-established senior physician. I was a pharmaceutical representative. I was almost as new at my job as him. We both grew over the years. He gained more responsibility and so did I. Eventually I would try to convince him to put my products on the hospital formularies. We argued amicably. We learned to trust each other. I did not have an…

My second time with COVID-19 and home with no support. I live 3 hrs. from Dr. Robert Axonovitz and sent him a text when my temperature increased to 103.5 after chills prior. He called me immediately and reviewed new drug Paxlovid. He called in a script and told me to take tylenol to reduce the fever. I was able to pick up the script and started to feel better the next morning. To have…

Dr. Axonovitz always takes time to listen to you and guide you in your health care. I have been under his care since 2003 except for a 2 year period when he changed to MDVIP. I returned to his practice and have not regretted it. Because of his excellent care we were able to find and diagnose my cancer getting me to the appropriate Oncologist.

Great doctor. Great staff. My only complaint is that there are no MDVIP doctors in the Winter Haven, Fl. area where I reside most of the time!

I knew the doctor would be spending significant time with me during my annual wellness appointment, but the experience surpassed my expectations. To sincerely discuss with my doctor any issues I might be having, to have the time to construct a plan and to know I have a real team interested in my health and well- being is sincerely an extraordinary experience. I cannot recommend this doctor and the concierge service highly enough!

In the 1980s, as an ER nurse, I watched this man, a newly minted MD, go through his ER residency. I was so impressed with his intelligence, character, patient care and clinical excellence that I decided that my husband and I would be lucky to become his patients. He is the epitome of what you hope for in a physician. His diagnostic skills are excellent, and we are grateful for the years of his care. And while sometimes you may have to wait longer in the waiting room than your appointment time, it is most likely because he is giving another patient the extra time he or she needs. Dr. Axonovitz listens to his patients, so you can be sure that if and when your medical issue needs his expertise for a longer time period than a regular visit, you will be given the time and attention you need.

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.
