“Coming from a family of physicians, medicine has always been about relationships to me. I want to understand not just my patients’ symptoms, but their lives, their concerns and their goals,” said Dr. Harold Sirota. “In my MDVIP practice, patients are treated like family. I have the time to really listen, help with lifestyle changes and create a health plan that addresses their needs at every stage of life.”

As an MDVIP affiliate, Dr. Sirota maintains a smaller practice size, which allows him to spend more time with each patient and offer distinctive services and benefits, including:
- Same- or next-day appointments
- Longer visits lasting an average of 30 minutes
- 24/7 physician availability (after hours and weekends)
- Comprehensive yearly health assessment with advanced diagnostic tests and screenings that give a more complete view of a patient’s health status
- Seamless care coordination when traveling through the nationwide MDVIP network
Research shows that patients receiving care in MDVIP-affiliated practices experience better health outcomes compared to those in traditional primary care settings. Data from eleven peer-reviewed published studies support this, demonstrating:
- 79% fewer hospitalizations for Medicare patients, equating to $600 million savings in one year
- 72% fewer hospitalizations for commercially insured patients
- 40% more patients identified at risk for cardiovascular disease using advanced testing
MDVIP’s patient satisfaction scores and annual membership renewals consistently exceed 90%.
