About Robert D. Winter, MD
With over 37 years of proud service to our community, I have dedicated myself to listening to and helping address the health needs of families. Being part of my patients' families enriches my practice, I believe, and deepens my awareness of their unique needs. This personal connection helps me see beyond medical symptoms and work to recognize emotional and social contexts that shape their health. By fostering these relationships, I aim to create a compassionate space where families can feel heard and empowered, leading to what I feel can be more meaningful and personalized care.
This long-standing commitment has also enabled me to build lasting relationships. I believe these connections are essential for fostering trust and can help patients as they pursue improving their health. As an MDVIP-affiliated physician, I am able to spend more time with each of my patients—listening, reviewing and helping address their individual concerns, which can further enrich our interactions.
In my free time, I cherish moments spent with my three children—whether we're enjoying boat rides or playing golf. These experiences reinforce the importance of balance and well-being—values I strive to instill in my patients every day. I believe that nurturing these aspects of life is essential for overall health, and I hope to inspire my patients to prioritize their own well-being, just as I do with my family.

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.
