About Yatish M. Patel, MD

I have been practicing medicine for almost 3 decades. During this time, I have dealt with various physical and emotional problems affecting my patients. I want to help reduce illness and help patients live a healthier life rather than chase after disease. I have learned that pursuit of wellbeing and health requires collaboration between a patient and their physician. I feel that offering patient-centered, prevention targeted health care would reduce both physical and emotional illnesses.

I would like to help my patients with managing their health by figuring out what their barriers are so that bad habits can be reduced, and we can implement good habits. To manage these changes, time is of the essence. In my MDVIP-affiliated practice, time is going to be easily managed and patients will spend time with me on a one-on-one basis to achieve the goals of their wellness. I have very close relationships with my patients and developed their trust in my care, which makes it easier to deal with any problems that may come along in the future years. In addition, I have formed important and close relationships with many specialist physicians in case my patients need their care. I want to make sure that I spend enough time to help mitigate my patients’ concerns regarding their health.

I am board-certified in internal medicine and pulmonary medicine. I have been in the same practice at the same address for the past 29 years and intend to continue to practice for many more years. I would like my patients to join me in pursuit of health and wellbeing.

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.
