only backgroundI'm a wife, mother and grandmother. I'm opinionated. I contradict myself frequently. Most of all, I love my kids. I believe in them. I fight for them. They're weird and wonderful. If you want to know more, here's a bunch of other stuff from my old site.
My mom is a retired nurse. All my life, I’ve had my own personal medical expert at my disposal. In fact, any time my kids are sick or injured, they instruct me to “call gramma and ask her what to do.” Having my mother a phone call away at times when medical knowledge is so important is comforting. I can’t help wonder what others do in the same situation.
According to my mom, medicine has changed drastically since she first became an RN. There’s more paperwork and less patient care now. Doctors are pressed for time, concerned about malpractice and constantly dancing between providing good patient care while adhering to insurance company guidelines. Patients notice this shift in care as well; the complaints have gotten louder and more frequent over the past several years. Perhaps someone is finally listening.
MDVIP is a group of concierge doctors who treat the whole person, focusing on preventive medicine. While these doctors utilize state of the art equipment, their style of doctoring is a throwback to a time when the family doctor knew you by name, whether it was in the office or in line at the grocery store.
Imagine a doctor with no more than 600 patients. Imagine a doctor spending 30 minutes or more discussing your health, your concerns, and the best treatment plan for you. Imagine a doctor available by phone or pager whenever you need him or her. That’s what a doctor in the MDVIP network offers.
Currently, MDVIP has affiliated physicians in 16 states. With benefits to both doctors and physicians, I expect that number to increase. At least, I hope it does. There are no MDVIP facilities in my own state but there are in a neighboring one. Personalized medical care is definitely worth a few extra miles of travel; my health is worth that!
As I age, I’m even more concerned with maintaining my health and preventing any of the age related disorders that have afflicted my parents and other relatives. MDVIP seems like the perfect option for those of us approaching 50 and determined to remain healthy and active. It is compatible with various insurance companies as well as Medicare. I wouldn’t be surprised if this became the standard by which all health care is measured.
