MDVIP Expands Its Reach in Texas with New Practices
MDVIP, a leader in membership-based healthcare, has recently announced the opening of new primary care practices in Texas. This expansion includes locations in Dallas, Houston, and New Braunfels, joining a network of over 1,300 physicians dedicated to personalized care across the nation. The organization's unique approach aims to enhance the patient experience by providing more time and attention from their healthcare provider, moving away from the traditional high-volume practice model.
New Locations and Physicians
Here’s a closer look at the newly opened MDVIP-affiliated practices and the physicians leading them:
- - Dallas: Dr. Corinthia McLeroy, an internist, has established her practice at the Northpoint Medical Arts Building on Greenville Avenue. With a strong focus on preventive medicine, women's health, mental health, and weight management, Dr. McLeroy strives to offer individualized attention to her patients.
- - Houston: Dr. Alfredo Ermac Jr. operates his practice near Methodist Willowbrook Hospital. A family physician with over two decades of experience, Dr. Ermac prioritizes building authentic relationships with his patients and emphasizes preventive care and overall wellness.
- - New Braunfels: Dr. Kyle Fehlis has brought his family medicine practice to the Landa Professional Center. He is committed to knowing each patient and tailoring care to their specific needs while actively participating in community health initiatives, including medical missions and volunteer work.
Focus on Personalized Care
As MDVIP affiliates, these physicians maintain smaller patient loads, allowing them to spend an average of 30 minutes per appointment. This approach dramatically counteracts the challenges of crowded waiting rooms and rushed consultations typical of traditional practices. Patients benefit from enhanced access—same- or next-day appointments and 24/7 physician availability are standard features.
Dr. McLeroy remarks, "My goal is to ensure patients feel heard and supported, especially in managing chronic conditions like hypertension and diabetes. Being among the few African-American female internists in Dallas, I am excited to serve my community with individualized healthcare."
Dr. Ermac echoes this sentiment, stating, "Building lasting relationships with patients has always been central to my practice philosophy. By joining MDVIP, I can focus more deliberately on preventive care and health management without the constraints that often come with traditional primary care."
Dr. Fehlis adds, "The MDVIP model encourages deeper connections with patients, allowing for comprehensive discussions about their health and lifestyle. This not only improves quality of care but also encourages preventive measures that can avert future illnesses."
Comprehensive Wellness Programs
Patients who enroll in MDVIP practices receive access to a comprehensive wellness program, which includes an annual health assessment and advanced diagnostic tests to better understand their health status. By utilizing these insights, doctors provide ongoing support and resources to facilitate healthier living, aiding patients in their personal health goals. Moreover, MDVIP’s digital platform offers patients tools to manage their health records and connect conveniently with their providers.
Proven Health Benefits
Research has shown that patients within the MDVIP system experience significantly improved health outcomes. Studies indicate:
- - 79% fewer hospitalizations for Medicare patients, leading to substantial cost savings.
- - 72% reduction in hospital admissions for those with commercial insurance.
- - 40% increase in the identification of patients at risk for cardiovascular diseases through advanced screenings.
Conclusion
With the introduction of these three new practices, MDVIP is not only expanding its geographic presence but also reinforcing its commitment to transforming primary care into a more personalized and effective experience. This model aims to foster a proactive approach to health management that prioritizes patient experience and well-being.
