MDVIP Expands Its Primary Care Network in California
MDVIP, a national leader in membership-based healthcare, is significantly expanding its primary care offerings in California to better serve families and women’s health needs. The organization is introducing three new affiliated practices in Northern and Southern California, each led by experienced board-certified physicians who are committed to providing personalized care.
New Practices and Locations
The new MDVIP-affiliated practices are led by:
- - Dr. Eena Duggal, a family physician with nearly 30 years of experience, is set to open her practice on October 20, 2025, in San Ramon. Dr. Duggal focuses on a broad demographic, treating patients from newborns to seniors, and she places special emphasis on preventive care along with women's health. The practice will be located at 5601 Norris Canyon Road, Suite 220.
- - Dr. Christine Lopopolo, a board-certified gynecologist and certified menopause practitioner, has established her practice in San Luis Obispo. Dr. Lopopolo offers the MDVIP Women’s Health Program, which is designed to cater specifically to the distinct healthcare needs of women, providing a holistic and personalized approach to care. Her location is at 1223 Higuera Street, Suite 203.
- - Dr. Heidi Sungurlu, also a board-certified gynecologist with 19 years of experience, operates alongside Dr. Lopopolo in the same San Luis Obispo facility. Dr. Sungurlu shares the mission to empower women through a comprehensive, personalized approach to health, focusing on areas such as nutrition, hormonal balance, and preventive screenings.
Emphasis on Personalized Care
One of the key features of these new practices is the commitment to personalized healthcare. By limiting the number of patients in their practices, the physicians prioritize building strong doctor-patient relationships, enabling thorough follow-ups and ongoing discussions about health and wellness needs.
Dr. Eena Duggal expresses her passion for providing integrative care, emphasizing, “I enjoy caring for patients across generations with attention to preventive care. MDVIP allows me the time to educate my patients on various treatment options.”
Similarly, Dr. Christine Lopopolo notes the importance of her multifaceted perspective as a woman and a mother in her approach to healthcare, stating, “I partner with patients to achieve balance in mind, body, and spirit.”
Dr. Sungurlu echoes these sentiments, highlighting that her goal is to foster empowerment through discussions about health, ensuring that each woman's individual needs are addressed.
Comprehensive Health Assessments
Patients at MDVIP-affiliated practices receive an all-inclusive yearly health assessment, incorporating advanced diagnostics and screenings for a more insightful view of their overall health. Each physician provides tailored coaching and resources that encourage healthier lifestyle choices, aiming for disease prevention and wellness optimization.
Proven Impact of MDVIP Model
Research published in peer-reviewed medical journals supports the effectiveness of MDVIP practices. Patients in these practices not only report greater satisfaction and follow through with preventive health measures but also demonstrate fewer hospitalizations and emergencies. MDVIP consistently receives over a 90% patient satisfaction score, underscoring its mission to transform healthcare into a more patient-centered experience.
