Meet Steven D. Shell, DO

Achieving better health is my ultimate goal. 

As a board-certified physician in osteopathic family medicine, I view my role in your life as your healthcare advocate, coach and guide. I am able to help you navigate our complex healthcare system by using the latest medical information and tools made available through my affiliation with MDVIP. 

With skill, experience, knowledge, compassion and a focus on wellness and prevention, I'll work with you to help you achieve your healthcare goals. My personalized healthcare practice affords me extra time with patients to better understand what is happening in their lives that can affect their health. I see a limited number of patients in order to devote my full attention to their needs - inside and outside of the office. Similar to concierge medicine practices, I also offer conveniences like same- or next-day appointments that start on time. I firmly believe that if you are hospitalized, the physician who knows you best is the physician you want to see if you are in the hospital. I follow patients at Fawcett Memorial Hospital and Bayfront Medical Center and will be available for you and your family. 

My practice serves all of Charlotte County, Florida, including Port Charlotte, Punta Gorda, Arcadia, Boca Grande and Rotonda. 

Let's work together to take your personal healthcare to a new level.

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.

Extraordinary out of town help!

from Owen in FL • February 5, 2024
I was out of town on a business trip that was expected to last four days; it ended up being two weeks! I hadn't brought enough medication for that long a time so I did something I had always been hesitant to do before, and that was calling Dr. Steven Shell's mobile phone. He immediately went to his office, sent in the prescription to a local pharmacy, and I was able to pick it up the Read more...
