About Robert T. Turner, MD, FACP
As an internist, I am deeply committed to providing holistic healthcare by working to develop enduring partnerships with my patients. Through these relationships, I can help individuals address chronic illnesses and assist them as they work toward prevention. I see myself as more than just a doctor, but as a personal physician, counselor, educator and consultant.
With over 30 years practicing primary care in the Richmond, Virginia, area, I have built relationships with many specialists as well as hospitalists. My personalized family medicine practice is located at Henrico Doctor’s Hospital across from the emergency room entrance. On-site parking is available as well as valet parking. I serve patients from Henrico County, the Greater Richmond Region, and the surrounding counties of Chesterfield, Powhatan, Amelia, and Goochland.
As your personal primary care physician, I have special interests in preventive care, cardiovascular health, diabetes and chronic diseases. My goal, and that of my friendly staff, is not only to help you work toward your longevity, but to support you in maximizing your health span (a concept referring to the number of healthier, disease-free years of life you could experience).
My MDVIP-affiliated practice offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices. I also offer same-day or next-day appointments.

Reviews from the web
Also, if the doctor would like to hear from me, please send me your number where I can speak to you directly.
I have experienced his skill and wisdom a number of times since moving to the Richmond, Virginia area in May 2016. My wife and I both contacted Dr. Turner about the possibility of signing on to his MDVIP practice soon after moving to Richmond and have found him and his staff of first-rate nursing and administrative personnel to be always ready to help, whether the issue is a sudden need for an appointment to see him or the need to get a diagnosis or treatment of an emergent health problem, or reliable care over time.
Right now care over an extended period of time is of major concern to me. I have been treated for Lymphoma cancer for five months and am expecting a successful outcome within several months. Throughout this period, Dr Turner has been a great source of support, whether it was in identification or selection of oncological or other specialists to be of help in my treatment, or of providing care and advice directly to me.
I should mention with regard to the occasional need for my own consultation with other medical specialists, that from the very beginning of my contact with him, he has been a very reliable navigator in identifying and arranging appointments with top specialists in the Richmond area as my health circumstances have required. He is extremely well connected with a network of first-rate medical specialists in this area. That represents an important resource for me and my wife.
Finally, I must mention my great satisfaction with Dr. Turner at a personal level. He is always friendly and welcoming whether I am arriving at an office visit or am in the hospital and he is coming to see me while making his early morning rounds. His attitude is one of optimism grounded in fact-based medical judgment. He listens to my concerns, tries to be flexible in giving medical advice, but ‘tells it like it is.’
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.
