Meet Sanila Rana, MD
I'm a firm believer in preventive medicine and proactive wellness, and I will partner with you as you pursue your health goals and work to avoid illness. My approach is holistic, and I aim to treat the whole person - not just symptoms. To me, your physical health, lifestyle and emotional well-being all play vital roles. My MDVIP-affiliated practice offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices. The advanced testing in the annual Wellness Program can help detect risk markers, and we use your results to help develop an action plan.
This isn't just about focusing on illness; it's about building a more genuine partnership for your healthcare journey. As your personal doctor, I want you to feel heard, better understood and more empowered to make more informed decisions for your health. Whether you're facing a complex medical condition or simply want to optimize your wellness, I'm here to help.
Visits are a minimum of 30 minutes, and I offer same- or next-day appointments and more direct contact with me and my office staff.
As a primary care doctor, I focus on diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular health and obesity. As a female physician, I also have a keen interest in women's health.
I see patients from across the greater Houston, Texas, area, including West University, Bellaire, EaDo, Midtown, Montrose, Heights, Sugarland, Missouri City, Tomball, Katy, Humble, Pearland, and Spring. I work with hospitalists at all major hospital systems like St. Luke's, Methodist, Memorial Hermann, HCA, and St. Joseph's. I also speak Spanish.
I'm excited to build a caring and long-lasting partnership with you - one that will hopefully last a lifetime!

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.
