What Members Are Saying

I've long had borderline high total cholesterol. But I refuse to take a stating. All my bother markers are good. Previous doctors have tried to prescribe a statin anyway because thats what "guidelines" dictated. Dr. Chanez actually noted how good my other markers are and did not try to prescribe a statin. We are just watching and monitoring together.

My story with Dr. Chanez began many years ago. Even before he became a MDVIP-affiliated doctor, he was to me a VIP. I knew when I called, I would be able to see him without a long wait. He displayed then the same professionalism, knowledge, caring, and determination to diagnose any medical issue I might have had. I am happy to say my story with Dr. Chanez continues today and shall continue. I trust him explicitly and know he will be there for me when I need him. That is such a wonderful feeling!

For me, I would say that most effective relationships aren’t in a singular interaction but rather a series of interactions that set the tone for a long term, effective relationship that is beneficial. I have certainly had singular moments with Dr. Chanez (example: Hep C diagnosis) that I was thankful to have Dr Chanez’s insights but I am most appreciative of the frequent interactions we have that have help me achieve and manage the great quality of health I believe I have today. I enjoy the interactions I have with Dr. Chanez…we tend to have pretty open and lively discussions about matters involving my health…we have the type of unfiltered discussions that are respectful, are to the point and, shall we say, blunt. I know when Dr. Chanez and I met I had a lot of work to do to get my health on track…because of how he and I work together I have been able to get my general health on track. Also, Dr. Chanez also takes interest in Karen and I as individuals…he takes time to get to know who we are and what our interests are…he typically starts our appointments asking where have we been and where are we going next…he genuinely seems interested in what we are doing!!! I am appreciative of the relationship I have with Dr. Chanez and don’t believe could have a better Partner to help me manage my health.

With over 20 years of practicing in the community, my goal as your personal internal medicine doctor is to manage and anticipate your unique healthcare needs.

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.

Testimonials from patients of James Chanez, MD

Head injury?

from Glenn in TX • January 19, 2024

I had purchased my ticket to a movie and as I pulled open the door to the theater it was a large light aluminum door and I was expecting a heavy door to match its size. The door knocked me in the head and I staggered backwards. I was not about to waste that ticket so I went in to the theater but couldn’t concentrate because I feared I had a concussion. So I got up and called Dr Chanez. He asked Read more...

Since becoming MDVIP Dr. Chanez and his staff are very responsive to our needs. Dr. Chanez and Pam are always there to take our calls even during the evenings and weekends!
