The power of prevention: Doctor offers preventative plans to supplement insurance

Phil Siemer practices old school medicine.

He gives as much time, care and attention to patients as possible, while a changing healthcare industry pressures physicians pack scores of patients into short appointments.

"My visits are a minimum of 30 minutes," Siemer said. "It's one thing to tell someone they need to fix their diet. It's another whole thing to have the time to sit there and coach them, and I love that part of it."

Siemer works with Florida company MDVIP, which stands for M.D. Value in Prevention, to provide "personalized preventative medicine."
