Highlights:

“‘MDVIP allows me to get to know my patients and give them the care that best fits their needs and keeps them as healthy as possible,’ [Dr. Edra] Stern said… ‘If I get a call from a patient in the middle of the night, I’m familiar enough with them to make a much better assessment than I would otherwise. Do they need to go to the ER or is this something that can be treated by phone?’” – Fairfield County Business Journal

“MDVIP Chairman and CEO Bret Jorgensen said the concept involves significantly smaller practices, which allows doctors to spend more time with each patient and provide highly individualized primary care compared with traditional practices.” – Fairfield County Business Journal

    “‘The practice is concierge like. That means I spend time with a smaller number of patients and really get to know them,’ [Dr. Elizabeth] Reetz said. ‘It’s personalized healthcare and allows us to build a better relationship, when they’re well or sick.’” – Kent County News
