What our members are saying

Dr Sarah Stapleton may have saved my life this year. She 'found' a lump in my breast during my annual physical, which is an hour-long, hands-on review of my body plus various breathing, hearing, and strength tests. I know my husband's internist does not do same. This finding of a lump was obviously concerning because I had had my annual mammogram and ultrasound just four months…

Dr Stapleton is always prompt in responding to requests & needs even when I tell her it’s not required, bang in less than an hour I have a response every time. She is an amazing diagnostician with an incredible knowledge of drugs, not only what is effective but which one I’m taking is causing the issue I’m experiencing.

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.
