What our members are saying

Dr. Scott Thompson has gone above and beyond all hopes and expectations for a primary care physician. He shows a genuine concern for his patients. His knowledge and ability to synthesize multiple medical issues and treatments is astonishing. I owe a great debt to him, his nurses, and above all, Michele, his health care coordinator.

I have known Dr Thompson for 20 years! That says it all- I have complete confidence in his treatment plan and know that he is a fantastic diagnostician. He has always been there for me, a personal phone call away. Thank you Dr T. for being my physician and friend.

Dr. Thompson has quietly, consistently and with talent and care seen that I have gotten the latest and best treatment for all my issues. At 75 I feel good and lead a very active life that i am sure is based in large part to his care. Bravo for all you do, Dr. T.

I’m an elderly (that’s hard to write) male who became Dr Thompson’s patient about five years ago. Since then, I’ve learned for the first time how a genuinely professional MD approaches his responsibilities.

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.
