Meet Shirley Rheinfelder, MD
I believe that the cornerstone of providing healthcare is a strong partnership between the patient and physician. When patients partner with their physicians, they feel empowered to make changes in their lives because they are part of the decision‐making process. In my many years of practice as a family physician, I have encouraged patients to call me by my first name to help make the point that we are on the same team, partners in their healthcare. The close personal relationships that I have been able to develop with many of my patients have been a blessing to me and a source of deep personal satisfaction. As an MDVIP‐affiliated primary care physician, I am excited about having more time to develop meaningful relationships with patients while providing personalized healthcare through state‐ of‐the‐art testing and preventive care designed to keep patients as healthy and as active as possible. My focus is on you and how to help you have a healthier and happier future by better preventing chronic disease and improving your health and wellness.
Having practiced in the Quad‐City area since 2010, I have relationships with many specialists who can help you with your unique needs. In addition to general family medicine, I have special interests in diabetes care, obesity management and caring for older and elderly patients.

Better Health Outcomes
Members have better control of chronic conditions like type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol and hypertension.
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.

We're very pleased with Shirley Rheinfelder and her staff because they care enough about their patients and their spouses, they work very well and know their medical terms and stuff and when you ask them to do some paperwork for their patients they help them out and do it.

Incredibly disappointed in this office. My wife's NP that used to work there all of the sudden got up and left and she couldn't get her prescription filled for her SSRI, leaving her not able to get them for another two weeks. We had to deal with many panic attacks and other issues for those two weeks. We were never notified that she had left.
The office was not responsive to my calls at all. My Wife made an appointment to see the DR. and then she had caught COVID and called out of an appointment. After that I receive a bill for a missed appointment even though they literally told us to not come in. I waited to see if I could work it out with them. Called the office 5 times and left a more than disappointed message. no response was given regarding that bill. not once. So I paid the bill for calling out due to COVID. No response from the Doctor. nothing. No communication.
Seems that is the standard for this office. a lack of communication. no call backs. no notifications that my Wife's NP was leaving the practice. Nothing. Stay away from this office if you have any medications that you would need refilled in a timely manner. They suck.

I have been a patient of Dr Rhinefelders for approx. 13 years. She changed her practice to MDVIP about 3 years ago. Pretty much in the middle of COVID. The last thing I wanted to do is find a new Dr at that time and I had always been happy as a patient of hers so I decided to give the change a try. My husband also switched to Dr Rhinefelder. We have both been very happy with the changes involved with having an MDVIP doctor. More preventative testing, quick service when we need an appointment and can always reach her in case of a concern. No hurried appointments. I would highly recommend becoming a patient. As my naturopath always told me, unfortunately people are willing to spend money to maintain their vehicles, but don’t want to spend money on their health.

I will stay with Dr. Shirley Rheinfelder MD as long as I am possibly financially able to. She is a wonderful diagnostic doctor, and she really knows her drugs and diagnosis. She studies a lot on her own and she’s very up on all of the latest techniques and all of the new doctors and what they specialize in. I feel that she is my friend and I am grateful for that.

This is my second year with MDVIP. I am very pleased with the experience. I have had Dr. Rheinfelder as my primary care physician for over ten years. Since she has become associated with MDVIP, I have noticed that she has more time during our visits to address my concerns. She is not in a hurry, and takes as long as I need. She listens closely, and offers advise about my health needs. I also benefit from the articles I receive. My yearly physical is much more extensive, to give a better picture of my overall health. Then the doctor explains the results thoroughly, in a way I can understand. MDVIP makes me feel like I have a real partnership with my doctor.

Dr Rheinfelder has been our primary care physician for 10 years. We’re in our mid-70s and have moved all around the country. Dr Rheinfelder has proven to be the most competent, dedicated, caring doctor we’ve experienced. She takes the time to thoroughly listen and never makes you feel rushed during her consultations. We’re thankful we found her.

I have never regretted choosing Dr.Rheinfelder and will recommend her to anyone needing a caring and compassionate doctor. She is not a clock watcher and takes time with her patients.
I am also very happy with the MVP program as the testing drills down much more than regular tests.

Dr. Rheinfelder takes her time with her patients. She is an active listener and and asks good questions. She is experienced and knowledgeable. If she doesn't know the answer, she states that and has a good network of specialists to refer to.

This is the third year I have been a patient of Dr. Shirley Rheinfelder. With each amazingly thorough annual MD VIP physical Dr. Rheinfelder carefully reviews all my blood work and lab results and explains each item as it relates to me! I appreciate knowing what the numbers show and how I can stay healthy! There is no rush to answer my questions or to get me out of the door. And on a normal, daily basis when a question or problem develops, I have never had trouble getting a timely answer.
Dr Rheinfelder is a personable, excellent Family Doctor with a staff that is as caring, polite and professional as she is. It is a great group to be associated with. What a novel concept: a doctor who is concerned about the health of the patient!

In a popular town and community with a large senior population needing quality medical care and primary physicians, it is wonderful to have such a caring doctor as Dr. Shirley Rheinfelder in Prescott Valley, AZ.
She and her staff are professional and caring. You feel like a person not just another patient. I get ample time to discuss my medical concerns as well as time for casual conversation or addressing any personal life concerns. If I should ever have a chronic health concern, I know I will be supported and well cared for.
I cannot recommend Dr. Shirley highly enough and her wonderful staff!

I really can't say enough good! From my first phone call to make an appointment, to the friendly greeting when you walk in the door (shout out Caty), to the thorough medical history with a personable, funny nurse, to a complete exam/problem solving session with the Dr, I have never been so impressed. For reference, I normally have intense anxiety about appointments and here my BP is actually what it is at home instead of through the roof. Do yourself a favor and make an appointment.

I find Dr. Shirley to be kind, caring and a great listener. She takes the time her patients need to discuss health concerns and offers
understanding and solutions. She responds to your individual concerns promptly. She is conservative in her approach to health
issues which I greatly appreciate. I'm fortunate to have her for my doctor.

Dr. Rheinfelder is awesome. She sincerely cares about my health. She never rushes me and takes time to discuss every detail of my health with me. She takes notes and brings up every concern I have at my next visit. She never checks her watch or the time and doesn’t hurry me out of her examining room, she waits until I make a move. Her patient bedside manner is spot on. Dr. Rheinfelder truly care about her patients. She is Simply the Best!
Dr. Rheinfelder’s staff is also excellent, and all of them go out of their way to be helpful.
