About Sherry Farag, MD
At the heart of my practice is a commitment to personalized care that can help empower individuals to live healthier, more fulfilling lives. My approach goes beyond simply discussing symptoms-it's about understanding the unique needs of my patients, fostering long term relationships and focusing on more proactive health and wellness strategies that can help us work toward disease prevention.
My practice blends evidence-based medical care with lifestyle guidance that supports physical, mental and emotional well-being. To me, healthier living isn't just the absence of disease, it's also about balance, vitality and resilience. I view health as a dynamic journey, and as a family medicine physician, I aim to help my patients' wellness journeys, providing not only medical guidance, but also encouragement and advocacy to help them take charge of their health. By creating an environment where patients feel heard, valued and cared for, I aim to build a doctor-patient relationship that is grounded in trust, transparency and mutual respect.
My practice is located in Fort Myers, Florida, and focuses on preventive care, women's health, and integrative medicine, in addition to addressing aspects of general medicine and chronic care. My MDVIP-affiliated practice offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices. We strive to provide the peace of mind that comes with available thoughtful care. My goal is to help my patients live healthier lives.

Reviews from the web
From the very first appointment, she took the time to really listen — not just to symptoms, but to me as a person. She asks thoughtful questions and explains things clearly without ever being rushed. You never feel like “just another patient” in her office.
Whether it’s a routine checkup, a sick visit for one of my kids, or navigating something more complex, she’s always thorough and compassionate. She also stays up-to-date with the latest medical research and is never dismissive of questions or concerns — which I so value.
We’ve had doctors before, but Dr. Farag is our doctor now. My whole family trusts her and honestly, we feel lucky to be in her care.
Highly, highly recommend.
I have 3 times since last Feb attempted to get an appt for a physical by dr farag each appt has been cancelled. I have requested a new dr. I do not mind seeing the ARNP once a year but I once a year w t to see the dr. They request I come in every six months. So I do not feel I am being unreasonable.
All I can say is I absolutely loved her.
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.
