What Members Are Saying

I’m a 73 year old retired RN and Dr Garcia and his staff in Englewood Fl work very hard to help keep me safe and as active as possible even with the difficult health issues that I have. I’m very picky about what my doctor is like and I have known hundreds of physicians. Dr Garcia is a true gem 💎 of a physician. 👨🏻‍⚕️.

Dr Garcia is the perfect example of MDVIP service. A year ago this month, we had a major family personal emergency that affected my body in every way. I could barely hold a fork or even sign my name, the anxiety had my body shaking so badly. I could not function. When this event occurred, I was able to text Dr Garcia late at night, and brief him what was happening, with an “I’m not ok.” Within 20 minutes he called me, talked me through what was happening and had me in his office the next day. He followed up every week or so to check in on me. He has my symptoms managed and I know beyond a shadow of a doubt I could reach out (and have) when an emergency (non 911) hits and he cares. He responds after hours. I’m 49 years old, and so thankful for a doctor who is passionate about preventative care like Dr Garcia. Grateful, thankful, and in the best hands.

One Saturday, working outside my house, I stepped on a roofing nail. The nail penetrated my shoe and my foot. Removing the nail then my shoe there was significant bleeding. I decided to contact Dr Garcia via the MDVIP Web Portal. Dr Garcia called me in about 15 minutes. He had already confirmed the date of my last tetanus shot and asked about the amount of bleeding. Satisfied with our discussion he felt there was no immediate danger and suggested I use an antiseptic cream and a bandage. He said if there was still pain on Monday I could come into the office. There wasn't and I didn't. This was not a life threatening event by any means but it illustrates what I want and receive in the way of medical assistance from my doctor.

Meet Nicholas J. Garcia DO, FAAFP

As a prior physician for the Air Force Special Operations Command, I’ve been providing personalized care to my patients my entire career. I feel privileged and honored to have been able to dedicate the extra time and personalized attention that our servicemen and women deserve outside of a traditional clinic. By partnering with MDVIP, I am able to continue providing individualized and attentive care to help improve your health and life. This flexibility allows me to have a much more hands on approach and to incorporate osteopathic manipulative treatments to complement our treatment plans.

I embrace the philosophy of considering my patients as a whole - to treat not just the body, but the mind and spirit as well. The best way I have found to do this is by taking the time to listen to my patients and ensure they fully understand and are comfortable with a treatment plan that suits them. As your personal physician, I am your advocate and pledge to provide you with patient-centered, evidence-based medicine that works for you. I also offer conveniences, like same- or next-day appointments that start on time, which may be found in concierge medicine practices. I am a strong believer in staying active and identifying and solving whatever barriers may be holding you back to allow you to not just live a healthy life, but to thrive. I was awarded the most compassionate resident physician award because I treat each patient like they’re a member of my family and will always strive to do what’s best for you.

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.

Dr. Garcia made a very impressive start with me!!!!!!!!!!!!!

from Theresa • February 14, 2020

I started with Dr. Villotti when I movedd to Florida in Jan 2004. I had a wonderful relationship with him and hope to have the same with Dr. Garcia who took over his practice when Dr. Villotti retired. At my first visit with Dr. Garcia he recommended reducing the dose of my thyroid medicine because of the way I was feeling. I fought him on this, but followed his strong advice and began to Read more...
