About Vera Carlson, MD, PhD

In my MDVIP-affiliated practice, I am able to provide a non-typical office experience where you have time to not only talk about your current health needs, but also time to plan for your future health goals. I enjoy getting to know my patients and, as your personal physician, I am able to help you achieve an ideal quality of life by providing a thorough examination and offering a personalized plan for health improvement and disease prevention, including helping you with your nutrition and physical fitness goals. 
 
I have been fortunate to serve as a private practice physician in this valley for over ten years. As Medical Director of both Rocky Mountain Home Health and Hospice and Rocky Mountain Care Skilled Nursing Facility, I have gained extensive experience and deep fulfillment working with elderly patients and their families as they transition towards end of life care. A great benefit of my affiliations with these facilities has been my ability to stay with my patients and be able to visit and care for them at their homes or at the facility when they are no longer able to come in to the office, without having to transfer their care to another physician. I am also passionate about fitness and have spent much of my life involved in dance and fitness instruction. I currently enjoy teaching several adult fitness classes at the local recreation center after office hours. Through all my experience in family practice, hospice care, and my time teaching fitness, I have developed a great appreciation for healthy lifestyle awareness and preventive care approaches to maintaining an optimal quality of life through all life stages. I am fluent in English, Russian, and Japanese.

Years ago, when I dragged myself into Dr.Carlson's office for the first time, I was very sick , and convinced that I would soon die. I had been to a series of doctors who seemed to do nothing. However, Dr. Carlson no only convinced me that I had years to go before death, she also undertook a regime that actually improved the way I felt. She has been there for me whenever I needed 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.
