About Neil R. Okamura, DO
I approach my patients as if your illness is my own, and consider the best options for recovery. A prescription or procedure may not create wellness; therefore, I explore your physical, mental and emotional needs as well. I feel a balance of these components are required to obtain optimal health. I look forward to our time to educate, support and understand your needs.

I became a patient of Dr. Okamura after my physician retired. Dr Okamura was so kind to open his already busy practice to accommodate me. I was struggling and stressed with anxiety, and after tests, and consultations, Dr O. perscribed just the perfect balance of ‘mind, body and soul solutions. His kindness and patience and great knowledge has endeared him to me. I am so grateful and trust Dr O…

I had pains in my back and thought it was from me smoking 25 years and maybe it was lung cancer.
I made an appointment with Dr Okamura, he decided my lungs were clear but made an appointment for me with a Cardiologist.
I ended out with 2 stents in my Heart and 2 years later 2 more. I may not be sharing this story if it wasn't for Dr. Okamura.

I learned about Dr. Okamura when he was my wife's doctor in the mid-1990s. We were both impressed with how thorough he was. She never felt cheated on his time or medical expertise. When my new health plan prompted a change in primary physicians, I immediately chose Dr. Okamura. When he joined MDVIP several years later, I was hesitant because I thought I was too young and in too good health…

Just a few things that have made my life better:
The ability to speak with or see Dr. Okamura, whenever I have needed his consultation.
My sleep apnea numbers are now normal due to his guidance and referral to Sleep Specialists.
Due to combined prescribed medications my ( A1c) is the lowest its ever been, I'm Type 2 diabetic.
I could go on, an on but I'll end by…

Dr. Okamura is truly a one of a kind doctor and his team is wonderful. His partner Cynthia offers wellness coaching and I think it’s such a great complement to medicine for true health and wellness. As a licensed physical therapist, I have the opportunity to meet many patients and they all have wonderful things to say about Dr. O and his team. He is a big believer in natural remedies including nutrition, hands on manual therapy and exercise such as Pilates. I’d highly recommend Dr O and his team!

Dr Okamura has been incredible primary care physician, keeping my best medical interest in mind, for the last 25 years. He has always had the time to see me on all of the various issues that arrived unexpectedly during our relationship...well before he became an MDVIP physician. I want occasion, and talking to him while I was in Los Angeles, he was able to recognize a serious condition and insisted I see him the following day. I flew in from LA and was it admitted i to the hospital for DVT’s/ pulmonary embolism. His incredible recognition of the issue and triaging me to the front of the line at his office probably saved my life. Enough said.

It would be nice to have doctors, members of the MDVIP organization, with many specializations. Developing a closer relationship among doctors is important to ensure better coordination and communication, ultimately leading to improved patient care and outcomes. A more collaborative approach among healthcare professionals can help identify and address potential issues earlier, leading to more effective and efficient treatment plans. Additionally, building strong relationships among doctors can also help foster a culture of continuous learning and growth, which can benefit both individual physicians and the healthcare system as a whole.

My ten year experience with Dr. Okamura and his staff and the MDVIP Program has been exceptional. Dr. Okamura is extremely knowledgeable, dedicated to his craft and patients, personable, and so responsible. I’m so happy with my experience and my husbands, that I have recommended Dr. Okamura to others, who have enrolled.
Extremely satisfied!!!

I recently entered a phase requiring shoulder replacement; however this is delayed by TAVR surgery and followup warfarin treatment. Neil has remained very involved ensuring side issues are managed; he is closely monitoring effects upon other organs to ensure focus on the one discipline does not cause collateral damage. In doing this he interceded unexpectedly (for which I am very grateful!) and alerted me and my cardio to these issues. He has personally phoned in evenings and weekends to make timely contact and corrections, exactly what I expect of my MDVIP association. I'm very satisfied!

Dr Okamura has been the primary physician for my wife and I for a good part of the last 20 years. Both of us are retirees; I am 83 and she is 72. He appears to keep up with the current trends in medicine, which for me as a scientist is very important. He has solved several pain issues associated with my wife and me. In a very serious incident with my health, he was easily available and made several visits with me during rehabilitation. He has an excellent bedside manner, is easy to talk with, and takes a genuine interest in our healthcare needs. He is an accomplished doctor and a great guy. We are very happy that we found someone like him to serve at the frontline of our medical needs. We have not infrequently recommended him to our friends and relatives.
I would add that he introduced us the ProLon 5 day diet/fasting program. Over the last couple of years both my wife and I have each particpated in the program at approximately six-month intervals. It has been great for keeping our weights stable and has generally helped us to better maintain healthy eating habits.

Dr. Okamura is one of the last breed of doctors that really care about his patients...He listens, he checks up on you, he cares for you. He is the best.

The very extensive yearly physicals are well worth the expense of having a concierge doctor like Dr. Neil Okamura especially for those who are older and have had serious health issues. Evaluations and tests on an annual basis are essential for maintaining good health, plus Dr. Okamura is the BEST for taking time to explain the issues and suggest solutions. Every day good health during the rest of the year is also covered. After a very painful pancreatitis attack, Dr. Okamura saw me the same day, gave me tests and dealt successfully with the issue. Recently, having a serious wound, I sent a picture to his nurse. He called me with a detailed plan that didn’t involve either emergency or a doctor’s visit. Probably this is the best part of using his practice—having an available consultation that keeps me, the patient, in control of my health with the caveat that I should see him if the home procedures did not solve the problem. My husband and I are very happy as clients of Dr. Okamura.
Frequently Asked Questions
Doctors who operate in the MDVIP models typically see far fewer patients than traditional primary care doctors. That gives them more time to develop deeper doctor-patient relationships that can lead to better outcomes. They can also offer conveniences that most primary care doctors can’t, including same- and next-day appointments. They’re available after hours for urgent matters. And they have time to focus on prevention. That focus begins with the MDVIP Wellness Program, which patients pay for with their annual membership fee.
Most MDVIP-affiliated primary care practices accept insurance (your physician can tell you whether they accept your specific insurance plan). Your annual fee pays for preventive care medical services that insurance usually doesn’t cover (e.g., advanced diagnostic testing and screenings). Your MDVIP-affiliated physician will continue to bill your insurance and charge copays, co-insurances and deductibles as he or she currently does for other medical services like sick visits.
MDVIP makes wellness and prevention easier by providing your physician with innovative tools and technology. MDVIP supports your physician’s practice and seeks to eliminate barriers to a positive healthcare experience. Your doctor will determine whether and how to incorporate these tools at his/her discretion.
