Reviews from the web




His qualitys are what every Dr. should have. Super knowledgeable, bed side manners outstanding. Not afraid to say it like it is in a very positive and supportive way. Persistent in following his patient's care and condition. Always. I've had the pleasure of being under Dr. Marshall Sorensen's care and my Son had Dr. Sorensen's care as well as Shammsudin Khwaja's care.
These Doctors are all of a special league. Over the top Anmazing Doctors in all regards.
Thank you Thank you Thank you







Dr Chooljian, providing my medical care/treatment.


In our opinion Dr. Chooljian willingly provides the kind of attention that most people would consider superior.
Personally, we feel like he treats us like a member of his family. The longevity of the last 29 years, has provided us with peace and trust that is difficult to find in today’s medical profession.


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.
