A few months ago, I had a reaction to an antibiotic, so serious, that I had to go to the ER at the local hospital in the early morning hours. After several hours in the ER, I was admitted. Early that morning she came to see how I was doing. It was very comforting to see her and she also showed a sincere concern for my well being. During the time I was recovering, she would call and inquire…

Dr. Bruno is my physician as well as my wife's. I feel so fortunate and blessed to have her as our doctor. I personally would not be alive today without her knowledge and professional approach to my health care. I have several serious health issues and would not be able to relax at all without having her available whenever I need her.
I have never met a more knowledgeable and caring…

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.
