I transitioned to MDVIP because I believe it provides the best platform for me to deliver medical care the way that it should be delivered. It allows me to spend the time with you that is required to provide quality healthcare with a focus on prevention.

Some MDVIP patient benefits include:
1. A comprehensive Annual Wellness Exam designed to be a key component to preventative healthcare.

2. Same day or next day appointments which means no more having to go to urgent care when acute needs arise.

3. Appointments that start on time meaning that you don’t waste your valuable time waiting in the waiting room to be seen.

4. Longer appointments allowing you the time that you need to have your concerns addressed fully.

5. After hours access to me, your own physician, for urgent needs through my cell phone.

6. A nationwide group of MDVIP affiliated physicians to serve your needs while traveling.

In addition to these benefits, you will be getting a physician that truly cares about your health and well-being.
