About Stéphane Calvino, MD
Being an MDVIP-affiliated primary care physician allows me to better achieve my goals of practicing medicine in an unhurried way, listening to my patients and caring for them more personally and proactively. When I meet a patient, I enjoy getting to know them, not just for their medical needs, but also as a whole person with their unique emotional and social circumstances. I strive to engage patients and help them take more ownership of their health and better improve their lifestyle. By doing so, it may be possible to reduce the number of medications they take. I am committed to regularly reviewing my patients' medications to see if any may have become less necessary or are potentially causing adverse effects.
My MDVIP-affiliated practice offers services, including comprehensive advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests that go far beyond those found in traditional concierge medicine practices. I also offer conveniences like same- or next-day appointments and the ability to contact me during and after hours. Most patients can get their prescriptions filled during their visits. I enjoy taking more time to cover health concerns, which, along with the diagnostics in the annual MDVIP Wellness Program, may make it possible to better avoid an ER visit or hospital admission.
I am grateful for the ability to provide more preventive medical care and help my patients enjoy healthier, more fulfilling lives.
I am originally from Switzerland. My wife, who is American, and I met while in college studying in Geneva. We married and moved to the United States and have been in Punta Gorda since 2003. We have two children. I love scuba diving, photography and wakeboarding. I am fluent in French.

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.
