MDVIP Launches Two New Primary Care Practices on Florida Gulf Coast for Enhanced Patient Care

MDVIP Expands Primary Care Offerings on Florida Gulf Coast

In a significant step toward enhancing healthcare availability, MDVIP, a leader in membership-based healthcare, has announced the opening of two new primary care practices in Naples and Palm Harbor, Florida. This expansion is part of MDVIP's commitment to providing personalized healthcare services through a network of over 1,300 primary care physicians across the United States.

New Practices and Physicians

In Naples, the practice is spearheaded by Dr. Mailin Ortega, a board-certified internist who emphasizes preventive care and wellness coaching. Located at 13180 Livingston Road, Suite 205, Dr. Ortega’s focus on heart health and chronic disease management positions her to offer in-depth services to her patients. With fluency in both English and Spanish, she aims to foster an inclusive environment for a diverse patient base.

Dr. Ortega states, "My practice is dedicated to helping empower patients through preventive care. I emphasize personalized screenings and tests tailored to each patient's needs to promote lifelong wellness." She is affiliated with NCH North Hospital and NCH Baker Hospital and aims to cultivate trusted relationships with her patients, ensuring they feel valued on their health journeys.

In Palm Harbor, Dr. Melissa Torres leads the second practice, located at 2142 US-19 ALT, Unit D. As a doctor who holds dual board certifications in family medicine and obesity medicine, Dr. Torres brings a unique comprehensive approach to healthcare. Her expertise spans integrative and functional medicine, allowing her to address a variety of health concerns holistically.

Dr. Torres remarks, “As a primary care doctor, I strive to identify methods that help prevent disease rather than merely treat symptoms.” She offers telehealth services, catering to those patients who may struggle to visit the office in person.

Patient-centered Care Approach

Both physicians adopt a patient-centered approach, managing smaller practice sizes to ensure ample time with each patient. This model not only facilitates disease detection and chronic condition management but also allows for same- or next-day appointments averaging 30 minutes. Additionally, MDVIP provides 24/7 physician availability, demonstrating an unwavering commitment to patient convenience.

For an annual membership fee, patients gain access to the MDVIP Wellness Program, which includes a comprehensive yearly health assessment with advanced diagnostic tests. This assessment offers a deeper understanding of each patient's overall health and is complemented by ongoing coaching to foster healthier lifestyle choices and disease prevention strategies.

Moreover, the MDVIP Connect app enables patients to communicate effortlessly with their doctors, manage personal health records, and access a wealth of health resources including meal plans and workout programs. Should a medical urgency arise while traveling, MDVIP ensures that patients receive coordinated care from affiliated physicians in the area.

Proven Health Outcomes

Impressive results underline the benefits of MDVIP-affiliated practices. Research indicates that patients see significantly improved health outcomes compared to traditional practices, with 79% fewer hospitalizations for Medicare patients—equating to savings of $600 million annually. Furthermore, 72% fewer hospitalizations are noted for those with commercial insurance, and 40% more patients identified at risk for cardiovascular conditions through advanced testing techniques.

With a patient satisfaction rate that consistently exceeds 90%, the MDVIP model clearly reflects its effectiveness in providing high-quality healthcare.
