About Shannon Ray Schrader, MD
I chose to practice family medicine in order to have the opportunity to develop close and personal relationships with my patients. The continuity of care enables me to gleen insight into my patients' lives and the circumstances that may impact their overall health and well-being. My patients are my family members and deserve the best. My philosophy is for my patients to play an active role in their care, and as an MDVIP-affiliated physician, I am able to easily achieve this. Medicine is an art, and time and compassion cannot be overemphasized.

My doctor is Shannon Ray Schrader. What makes him “super“ to me? A great many things: he’s highly skilled, he’s caring, he’s attentive, he listens and he does a great deal more. But if I were to choose a single episode in our association that makes him super in my eyes, it would have to be the time he saved my life. It happened about a dozen years ago. For several weeks I had been disturbed by a…

I appreciate my doctor for his dedication and empathetic care. His commitment to my well-being has been appreciated in navigating my healthcare. Beyond just addressing my physical ailments, he takes time to listen and provide clear explanations and offers support that extends beyond the confines of a medical appointment.

The day I was diagnosed with HIV it thought my life was over. All I saw was darkness and no light ahead for me. As I struggle with this new revelation I needed a human to know what I was going thru. I called my doctor, Shanon Schrader and broke the news to him. He tells me that he needs to see me immediately to prepare a plan of action. I went to his office but I felt like I was in a surreal…

I’ve had such a wonderful experience with Dr. Schrader and his team. The staff is always polite, welcoming, and friendly, making each visit smooth and stress-free. Dr. Schrader himself is extremely caring, attentive, and knowledgeable—he truly takes the time to listen and explain everything in a way that puts you at ease. It’s clear that he genuinely cares about his patients’ well-being, and I feel fortunate to have him as my primary care doctor.

Terrible terrible staff. The front desk person told me to call a different office because the dr practice somewhere else. I asked can you give me that number for that office . She said “I’m being nice everyone has access to google”
Are you kidding me? If this how you speak to patients and doctors office staff?!
She obviously hates her job to provide ONE phone number to a patient. This person should not be in charge of answering phones and speaking to clients this way

I haven’t seen Dr. Schrader in many years but he was one of the best Primaries I ever had. His bedside manner was impeccable, he took his time, he cared. He looked at nutrition and vitamin levels first, if something was off.
I was recently diagnosed with a rare connective tissue disorder and some of the holistic treatments involve nutritional changes that Dr. Schrader helped me navigate through years ago. Many with my condition have PTSD from their physicians. While pondering why mine wasn’t worse, I realized it’s because I chose him as my Primary after some very bad experiences and the contrast helped restore my trust in doctors.
I considered a special trip to see him, from Maryland before I was recently diagnosed because I trusted he’d help me figure out what was wrong with me if I could afford the time it would take. I knew he’d care. I see by other reviews, he hasn’t changed. Houston is lucky to have him.

As a retired physician that has worked side by side with other family medicine physicians, residents, and faculty, I have never seen a physician that is as well educated and with such well honed and thorough clinical examination skills. Likewise, his physician-patient rapport skills are simply unparalleled. I’d recommend Dr. Schrader to anyone.

Dr. Schrader is the BEST doc I have ever had! He is smart and knowledgeable, keeps up with the latest research, and he is a great listener and a clear communicator. He genuinely cares for his patients as people and his warmth and great sense of humor are evident in the very first encounter with him. He goes above and beyond to ensure his patients get the care they need. My mother and I both use Dr. Schrader and we both love him as our health professional but we also consider him a friend. Thank you, Dr. Schrader! Kelly McCann

This is a great Doctor, he remembers who you are and is familiar with your medical history when you come in, and I've had doctors that have no idea who I am. You can contact him anytime, he returns you call right away. There's almost no wait in his office,and can get appointments on short notice. I feel much better after following his advice, I completely trust him completely and highly recommend him

I am alive thanks to Dr. Shrader. After years of trying to figure out what was wrong with me, I met Dr. Shrader through our work circles. I shared my frustrating symptoms, and he had me hospitalized right then & there. Within days, he had the correct diagnosis, and 20 years later, I am still symptom free. He has excellent bedside manners and is compassionate towards patients. I recommend him 100%.

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.
