I believe a close doctor-patient partnership is the key to attaining optimal health. Knowing my patients well beyond their symptoms allows us to prevent, detect early and even reverse disease, specifically related to vascular health. My patients and I are partners on a journey to healthy living, and having the time to practice what I preach is inspiring us all to achieve our personal wellness goals.

What our members are saying
Dr Leung is the only doctor that "PERSONALLY" cared about me! We discussed my health issues and he often calls me to ask how I am doing. He even gave me his cell phone number to call him anytime. After a visit, he always saya "GOD BLESS YOU."

I met Dr. Tom Cheung Leung in 1998 after an intense back surgery. My husband noted I was not getting the supervision required, and had me moved by ambulance to Saint Louise Hospital in Gilroy California. At that time the hospital had what was referred to as The Sunshine Unit on the second floor. Dr. Leung became my overseeing doctor, helping me get the care I needed. From the moment I met him, I…

While traveling overseas, I came down with extreme nausea and fatigue. Not knowing what to do, I called my MDVIP doctor and he picked up although it was late in the day for him. He give me the guidance for what to do and the assurance I needed to make it through with much less worry than I initially had while traveling in a strange place with no one to turn to. I was then and still am so very…

Dr. Leung provides the most professional care and concern for my well being. He calls me at all times of the day and evening to talk with me about how I am doing and what is going on in my personal life. He reviews my medications for their effectiveness and changes them especifically if a new generation and improved medication becomes available. He constantly keeps abreast of the new…

Dr Leung is both my cardiologist and PCP. I've known him for more than 20 years, and he is the best doctor I have ever met. He's a strong Christian who goes on mission trips to Africa to care for people with no access to doctors, has a friendly and attentive personality, calls me with lab results at night, refers me to cardiologists at Stanford when I need specialty heart care and surgeries. Thanks to Dr Leung, I have the head of the department as my personal electrophysiologist, who actually knows my name at Stanford. Dr Leung has saved my life four times when I have had heart emergencies.. Without him, I would have died many years ago, but God has not been in a hurry to bring my 79 year body home, and Dr Leung is too stubborn to let me die. You will not find a better doctor anywhere.

Dr. Leung was the attending cardiologist while I was in ER at St. Louise after valve replacement surgery. He was knowledgeable regarding the somewhat unusual surgery I had. He checked with my heart surgeon at stanford, who he knew, and he prescribed medication that has since reduced the post-operative atrial fibrillation I was experiencing, but most importantly he was kind, reassuring, and came back the next day and talked to me for 20 minutes to make sure I was okay. I have never had that kind of experience and follow through from ER
to the hospital. He was hands down one of the best doctors I've ever seen. You are blessed if you get to have him.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Leung’s for many years benefiting from his experience as a PCP/cardiologist and his excellent referrals to specialist colleagues performing open heart valve surgery, spinal surgery, other “minor” surgeries such as a hernia operation, various dermatological procedures, and cataract surgery to name a few ( I told you he’s been my doc for a while…). I could go as far to say he saved my life at one point and later on improved the quality of my life tremendously. Semi-annual routine visits along with annual echocardiograms in his office have been a breeze thanks to his excellent staff! Always on time, I don’t recall ever having one those sit-in-the-waiting-room-for-hours appointments we’ve all had elsewhere. Dr. Leung is now associated with MDVIP (sort of a concierge thing) with 24/7 call/text access via his private cell phone(!) with a focus on individualized wellness care and preventative medicine. As an aside, he also supervised my mother-in-law's end of life process.

Dr Leung cares only for money and will have you come in just so he can charge you. He even bragged to me that he told his wife to be glad they can afford their new Tesla cause most people can’t. He saw me in March then wanted to see me again in April when I needed permission to have a lower GI. He bills me for something he calls contractual but I have no contract with him! He is horrible!

I have been a patient of Dr. Leung for more than 20 years. During this time he has provided the best personal care I have ever experienced. He is easy to confide in and always answer questions in an easy to understand manner. I feel he is more than my physician, he is a friend I can depend on.

Dr. Leung really listens to his patients in a non hurried compassionate way. We always rely on his expertise, and Dr. Leung seems to be ALWAYS CURRENT in what is happening in the Medical Community. He is so pleasant, caring, compassionate and very easy to talk to. I highly recommend him!!

Truly disgusted by the way he was talking to my mother, he was VERY rude and raised his voice for no reason. The staff is also terrible. NEVER AGAIN.

Very rude and condescending. Talks over you before you can finish your sentence, making it clear he does not listen to what you are saying. He is very unprofessional. According to him, he is a good dr. Because he returned my call.

Dr. Leung’s office is very friendly but unfortunately they’re so outdated there and he hardly returns phone calls when you need answers to some of your most important questions about your condition
I feel this doctor should retire

Dr Leung is the most on all thing knowledgeable and efficient doctor we’ve ever encountered. Dr Leung has taken care of me for a very long time..even when we lived 200 miles a,way we traveled the distance for my appointments because of our trust and confidence in Dr Leung. He is so dedicated to his patients and is constantly educating himself on all new medical ideas. He is a very dear friend.

I’m writing this review because I feel that even “on call “ Doctors should be held accountable as well . This Dr Was one of the rudest encounters that I have ever had with a Doctor . He was rude, he was insensitive , he was very upsetting to me who I have been dealing with Drs. Intently for close to ten years now because of several debilitating diseases. This man for me, does not behave in a professional and compassionate way. I read his “mission “ statement and I’ll insert it here because he did not meet any of the things he so arrogantly wrote . Drs take an oath and just because you are a Dr does not give you the authority to treat people like they are beneath you . I’m hoping that even if one patient who’s thinking about becoming a new patient of this dr please reconsider . My brief experience with him was enough for me to know all I need to know on how he treats others especially not knowing who I am or what my experience with Top Doctors at Stanford for example. In my opinion , this Man is not what he claims to be in his mission statement, if you want a VIP doctor which is absolutely ridiculous how he qualified for this experience ! “ My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness...
I believe a close doctor-patient partnership is the key to attaining optimal health. Knowing my patients well beyond their symptoms allows us to prevent, detect early and even reverse disease, specifically related to vascular health. My patients and I are partners on a journey to healthy living, and having the time to practice what I preach is inspiring us all to achieve our personal wellness goals.”
This statement was not my experience AT ALL with this Dr.

Dr. Leung has been my physician for over several decades and I would not want it any other way. His breath and scope of applied medical knowledge exceeds all other medical providers in this area. He diagnoses and treats me based on my age and ever evolving individual health needs and circumstances. His demeanor and follow up are professional, caring, sincere and honest. Due to his extensive networking and on-going continuing education, Dr. Leung provides me with referenced based advice and refers me when appropriate to other curated specialists who share his philosophy of patient care. As a former chemical engineer, he knows his pharmacology, which is essential in the diagnosis, treatment and prescription of providing intelligent care for his patients. I trust Dr. Leung with my life and those of my family and friends.
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.
