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 Michael J. Gunter, MD

Dr. Gunter

from Johan in NV • February 28, 2020
I have been a patient of Dr. Gunter's since approximately 2011. He is an outstanding example of just what one wants and needs in a family physician and then some. He spends as much time as is needed towards my care and his referrals to specialists have been spot on. I am one grateful patient and feel truly blessed our paths crossed.

Dr. Gunter is a very caring compassionate soul.

from Betty in NV • February 26, 2018
Our friend first and then our doctor, Dr. Gunter is a very caring compassionate soul. He detected a very small sign of heart trouble and referred me to an appropriate doctor and I subsequently had heart surgery. I believed he was instrumental in giving me years with my grandchildren that I might not have had.

You have been the best doctor I have ever had.

from Delores in CA • March 27, 2018
Dr. Gunter. When I moved here from California, I looked in the phone directory and picked you on instinct. You have been the best doctor I have ever had. I appreciate you and your staff tremendously. I thank you for taking good care of me all these year and look forward to many, many more years with you. Congratulations to you for a great practice and best wished to you and your family in Read more...

Dr. Gunter has been my physician for 20 years. He has treated me for numerous injuries while playing senior softball for 14 years. He also discovered diabetes early enough that I was able to treat with diet and exercise and am now diabetes free. He has enabled me to reach 82 in good health and physically active. He is without a doubt the best doctor I have ever had. I hope he is able to join Read more...

My husband had a part of his small intestine curled, and he was in terrible pain.

from Lynn in NV • February 6, 2014
My husband had a part of his small intestine curled, and he was in terrible pain. When we called the answering service, they called him. Instead of calling the covering doctor, he insisted on taking care of my husband himself. He is a caring and charismatic man, one who deserves respect.
