Dr. Ruxin has been my Primary Care Physician for 35+ years and I trust him completely. He is not only my PCP but my friend. Thanks to him and his referrals to specialists, 9 years ago it was discovered I had a brain aneurysm. I had surgery with no side affects. He is the best as is his office staff. Knowing I can reach him any time of the day or night, in or out of the USA, is very…

I became a patient if Dr. Ruxin approximately three years ago, upon the recommendations of friends. I have two occasions when his clinical knowledge and his willingness to speak with me were exceptional. I want to share both experiences. One was shown upon a routine annual exam involving a variety of analysis of urine and stool samples along with a complete blood work up. Microscopic blood…

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.
