MDVIP-affiliated primary care physicians and family doctors see far fewer patients than in traditional practice, which means they can offer same- or next-day appointments and will see you right away with no waiting in a crowded waiting room. They’re available 24/7 by phone or pager if you need to speak with them outside office hours—including weekends—and if you become sick while on vacation or traveling, your MDVIP-affiliated doctor can help connect you to a local hospital, pharmacy or doctor, which may include an MDVIP-affiliated physician.
