MDVIP
That last bite of steak or extra piece of bacon. Those one-too-many cups of coffee. That funny feeling of feeling lightheaded after some long-needed cardio. Fellas, getting old is hard, but it’s extra stressful when you have to keep track of your heart health. After all, heart disease is the leading cause of death for men in this country. You can always make an appointment with a cardiologist, but what if there were more pre-emptive healthcare options that make more sense on your time? There is: it’s MDVIP.

MDVIP was started 25 years ago by a group of primary care doctors who already saw the writing on the wall about the patient/healthcare experience: a one-size-fits-all approach that herds patients through like cattle without making them feel like their needs and concerns are addressed. And that was 25 years ago. Not much better these days, huh?
Most primary care physicians are responsible for about 2,000 patients at any given time. Do the math, and that’s not a lot of time spent with any patient in a calendar. MDVIP-affiliated physicians manage a fraction of that number, which means that you get much more personalized care.
Your old doctor’s visit might include a blood test with results that tell you that your cholesterol is high, with a bunch of other numbers and terms that make no sense. What does it all mean? With an MDVIP-affiliated physician’s appointment, you’ll get a more complete picture of your cardiovascular health by digging deeper into the results as part of their overall Wellness Program. Think of it like Sabermetrics, and an MDVIP appointment is your personal Bill James.
Here are some of the extensive testing that you can expect from these appointments:
- MPO (Myeloperoxidase): Identifies vascular inflammation that can be an earlier sign of cardiovascular risk
- LipoFraction NMR: Identifies hidden cardiovascular risks by analyzing particle size and number as opposed to just total cholesterol levels
- HbA1c: 3-month glucose snapshot to understand long-term blood sugar control that’s essential for diabetes monitoring and identifying metabolism issues
- CRP (High-sensitivity C-Reactive Protein): Inflammatory marker that detects low-level chronic inflammation
- TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone): Insights into your thyroid function which regulates energy, weight, mood, and more
- Uric Acid: Provides insight into metabolic health, cardiovascular disease, kidney function, oxidative stress, and gout risk
