"Whether it's helping patients accomplish a longtime health
goal, avoid a trip to the emergency room or simply making them feel
heard, MDVIP-affiliated physicians are changing lives in meaningful
ways," said MDVIP Chairman and CEO Bret
Jorgensen. "The thousands of messages of appreciation from
patients and exceptional satisfaction scores speak to the powerful
impact of the doctor-patient relationship, and we are proud to
celebrate our network of 1,100-plus physicians not just on National
Doctors' Day, but every day they devote to the care and well-being

What patients in the MDVIP network are saying about their
primary care doctor:
General Practitioner for a Lifetime – Patrick, patient
of Dr. Kevin M. Gil in Maryland
"Dr. Gil knows my wife and
I both personally as well as medically through the various
historical episodes and has supported us in our most critical
moments… [He] is an amazing communicator and is always available
for consultation and discussion. I truly see him as part of our
family! We are very fortunate to have him and his practice in our
lives and appreciate his dedication and service to the
community."
Doctor Willing to Listen – Danny, patient of Dr.
Scarlet Benson in Florida
"Over the past few years, I
have been on, at times, a very frustrating journey to find a doctor
willing to listen to me, to understand my particular situation, and
be prepared to justify and discuss their treatment choices… So, to
find a gem of a person like Dr. Scarlet
Benson at MDVIP in Fort
Lauderdale has been a total game changer for me."
Caring, Committed and Kind – Tinuke, patient of Dr.
Peter M. Gottesfeld in New York
"He stopped and said that
was worthy of acknowledging all of my feelings… I knew then that
this was the doctor for me. I shared things with him even my
previous doctor did not know. He is a knowledgeable, kind, caring
and smart individual. On National Doctors' Day, I want to honor and
acknowledge Dr. G for being the wonderful human that he
is."
Dr. Herman: My Vote for MDVIP
'M.V.P.' – William, patient of Dr. Jeffrey Herman in Michigan
"He has been a powerful
force in my corner for years. Pandemic? Journey from middle age to
senior? Dr. Herman has been there to care, educate and motivate.
Last October I was able to complete a half marathon with my
scholarship athlete daughter... Under [his] care, I hope to do many
more."
Personalized Care, Real Relationship
MDVIP-affiliated
physicians offer a solution to the many frustrations that patients
can experience with traditional primary care, including long waits
to schedule an appointment, rushed visits and difficulty getting
all their concerns addressed. By maintaining a smaller practice,
doctors are able to dedicate more time with patients to focus on
prevention and early detection as well as help manage chronic
conditions. Other conveniences include same- or next-day
appointments that last an average of 30 minutes and 24/7 physician
availability.
Proven Health Outcomes
Eleven studies published in
peer-reviewed medical journals demonstrate better health outcomes
among patients in MDVIP-affiliated practices compared to those in
traditional primary care practices, including:
- 79% fewer hospitalizations for Medicare patients, equating to
$600 million savings in one year
- 72% fewer hospitalizations for commercially insured
patients
- 40% more patients identified at risk for cardiovascular disease
using advanced testing
