Meet Roland S. Summers, MD


My goal is to have the ability to provide my patients ongoing quality care and not have to sacrifice quality for quantity. Making the change to MDVIP will allow me more time for consultation and particularly provide more education to my patients about their health and how to stay healthy and improve the quality of their lives. Early detection and prevention continue to be paramount and will be the important part of my practice moving forward. As I often say, a pound of prevention prevents a ton of trouble.

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 Roland S. Summers, MD

My Caring Doctor

from Charlotte McRae in GA • March 10, 2024
Dr. Summers is not only interested in my physical health but also in my mental health. I am on prescription drugs for depression. My psychiatrist retired, and I still needed to be on my medications.
