About Vance Alm, MD
Supporting my patients as they pursue optimal health is my goal! My patients and I can work as a team, and I can act as your coach, advising you of healthier options. You, as my patient, can feel more empowered to execute behaviors to help you reach your goals. As an MDVIP-affiliated physician, I can discuss with you where you are now and apply my experience and our tools to develop an individualized plan to follow as you work to optimize your health. We can continue to evaluate your progress and adjust as needed. I support patients in being proactive rather than reactive, as seems to be prevalent in today’s medicine.
My experience in the military gave me a unique perspective. Surrounded by young healthy service members and traveling to different cultures, I’ve seen what optimal health can be. As a primary care physician with over 20 years’ experience, I have seen cardiovascular, endocrine, musculoskeletal psychological and even cancer patients. I believe many issues can respond better to earlier attention; that’s why I find value in the annual Wellness Program, a key aspect of my MDVP affiliation, comprised of screenings that can identify certain risk markers. My practice offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screening and diagnostics test, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices. I also offer same- or next-day appointments.
I see patients in my South Reno, NV, practice, and patients come from northeast Sparks to Carson City, and Truckee, CA to Winnemucca.

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.
