About Zachary Shook, MD, FACP
For more than 20 years, I have served the Greater Richmond, VA, area and surrounding counties as an internal medicine physician. As a primary care physician, my goal is to build lasting partnerships with my patients by focusing on prevention and delivering personalized care tailored to each individual’s unique needs.
My professional interests include cardiovascular disease prevention, diabetes, weight management, and advanced lipid evaluations, as I am a board certified clinical lipidologist. I also support patients as they work to address the spectrum of acute and chronic medical conditions that tend to affect adults.
My MDVIP-affiliated practice offers conveniences, like same- or next-day appointments with minimal waiting, which may be found in a concierge medicine practice. Importantly, the MDVIP model allows me more time spend with each patient so I can get to know them on a deeper level, provide individualized education and focus on preventive strategies that can support them in their efforts to pursue long-term health. It is vitally important to me that every one of my patients can ask any and all questions about their medical conditions and approaches so they can receive support as achieving their health goals.
Outside of medicine, I enjoy playing drums in my rock band, traveling with my wife and kids, and rooting for the Gators and the Hoos!

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.
