Random Musings of a Curious Mind

MDVIP

Have you been to a doctor's office lately? Did you feel rushed through and summarily dismissed? Well, that's what I've been going through, too. In fact, I don't even get to see the doctor; I am treated by the physician's assistant. The last visit she forgot both of the referrals that I needed. And, although she recommended a new medication to help me stop smoking, didn't provide a prescription. Luckily?, I have to go back at the end of the week for follow-up.


Tired of this cursory treatment? Need a doctor who actually sees you and listens to your questions and concerns about your health? Check out:

A national leader in personalized and preventive medicine with a growing network of over 130 physicians, they can be found in 21 markets and 15 states. What they offer is simple and, to me, quite unique in this world of skyrocketing medical greed and perfunctory medical exams:
By dramatically reducing the size of their practices, MDVIP-affiliated physicians have time to provide comprehensive preventive care services to all patients, and also have the time required to address chronic and acute conditions.
Physicians limit their practices to around 600 patients, so that you get their time and full attention at each visit; a new level of highly personalized healthcare that focuses on prevention and early detection.

One of the greatest advantages, to me, is the myMDVIP personalized health website that each patient receives. This website includes some amazing tools for managing your health:
  • a custom health risk assessment,
  • a personalized wellness plan developed with Duke University and Wellness By Choice,
  • an extensive library of educational materials to help answer questions and enhance personal knowledge,
  • secure email to contact your physician and their staff without waiting for office hours to call, and
  • an electronic health record that consolidates all of your medical information.

When Mark got sick in 2003, I started researching liver disease, cirrhosis, HCV, ascites - whatever condition developed, I looked into it, as best I could. Can you imagine having all of the information you need to educate yourself in one place? I think that is absolutely incredible! Because, while I depend on the doctor to order the tests and help me decipher the results, I want to be educated about my or my loved ones' condition.

Over the last few years, I have seen the level of care that Mark receives through the VA and, to a lesser extent, his private physicians. Each person he sees has taken a personal interest in his health and wellbeing. They are never in a rush; they never fail to ask and answer questions; and they aggressively treat any and all problems that arise.

Frankly, I don't think I should have to nearly die and go through an organ transplant to have a physician who cares about my health. MDVIP offers that care and concern.

Your health is too important to trust to doctors and staff who see you as just another insurance check.
