What our members are saying

I believe the only reason I am alive is because of the excellent care I have received from Dr. Stapleton. Unbeknownst to me, I had mold in my lungs, a parting gift from my workplace. Dr. Stapleton gently guided me towards a second opinion, since I was currently seeing a different pulmonologist. I had been coughing and wheezing for several months, with little relief. After a bronchoscopy, I was…

Having just moved to Mount Pleasant, SC., I wanted to find a good doctor. I read many excellent reviews of Dr Stapleton so I made the appointment for the meet and greet. Dr Stapleton was very kind and compassionate. After having her as our PCP, my husband and I were more than satisfied with her care of us. She really cares about her patients!

Before I moved to Charleston from Chicago, I checked with a family friend, a cardiologist at the University of Chicago. I asked him if he could recommend a doctor for me. After talking to colleagues, he recommended Dr. Sarah Stapleton. Dr. Stapleton is the best doctor I have had since coming to America in 1965. Her caring association with her patients is unusual in this day of high-speed…

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.
