Membership-based Medicine Continues to Grow in El Paso

A membership-based practice, MDVIP works to personalize experiences for patients and doctors. Founded in 2000, its aim is individualized, preventive care through smaller practices. El Paso’s first MDVIP-affiliated physician joined the network in 2010, and today, there are four throughout the area. “The MDVIP doctors in El Paso have a significantly smaller practice size seeing just eight to 10 patients a day compared with 20 or more in a typical practice,” says Megan Foster, spokeswoman for MDVIP.
