What Members Are Saying

I have been a patient of Doctor Smith’s for quite sometime. His ability to make me feel so comfortable and that I matter as a person and patient is amazing. He never makes me or my family feel as if they are a number he give us all the time we need and shows genuine concern and care. I have cancer and he goes out of his why to help me understand all that is happening with me and explaining to me when I don’t understand what some terms mean in medicine. I would highly recommend him to anyone now or in the future. Dr. Smith is always caring and goes out of his way to help I’m sure all of his patients. We are so happy to have him as a doctor and it was the best decision we have ever made. I am not very good at writing things but I do want Dr. Smith how much we value him.

I have been a patient of Dr. Paul Smith and MDVIP for three years. I became a patient in 2021 when I relocated to Reno NV., looking for a new doctor during COVID. MDVIP and Dr. Smith came highly recommended. On his first examination he recognized a heart murmur that he felt would require surgery later in life. Little did I know that two years later, after feeling lightheaded and fainting, he immediately recognized the need for a cardiac specialist. I was then diagnosed with a failing aortic heart valve which quickly escalated into requiring open heart surgery. Without his skill to diagnose this early, and to inform me to be on the lookout, this condition could have easily ended my life. Doctor Smith is always available to me when needed. He has helped me and guided me through my recovery am I return to normal life. I am forever indebted to him for his service and thankful for his expertise.

I like to know my patients at a deeper level, relating to them as both their physician as well as a trusted friend. This unique relationship allows me to listen, teach, encourage and guide my patients through the complexities of medicine and their personal healthcare needs. I integrate compassion, integrity and at times devilish humor into my practice and my patients can expect to find thorough and superior health care blended with a relaxed and custom-tailored wellness approach to medicine. It's my goal that this personalized relationship and comprehensive approach to my patients' medical care will help them achieve their optimal health.

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 Paul R. Smith, MD

Thank you again, you are the best.

from Terry in NV • March 5, 2018

Dr. Smith,
I just wanted you to know what a great comfort you are to me and my family. You are always there for all of us and that is such a great relief when we have any medical problem. It makes me feel guilty to call on a Sunday, or later in the evening, but you quickly put my mind at ease and order whatever is necessary.
Thank you again, you are the best.
Terry M.
