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.

Testimonials from patients of Steve W. Smith, MD

Wrong meds

from Mark in FL • April 2, 2024
My old doctor and close personal friend for 30 years passed I was without a doctor. I was on one high blood pressure med and 1000 metformin for type two diabetes. My a1c was consistently under 7. Went to a big health care provider where each doctor is assigned 4,000 patients and is right out of med school. Gave me a whole slew of new meds and went to France for 3 months. One of the meds caused my Read more...

One of the BEST

from Richard in FL • March 11, 2024
Dr Smith has been my doctor for over 30 years. Not only has he been my doctor but a very close friend. I know I can count on him and contact him any time day or night for any reason. I trust him with my life which I pray is for a very long time!

Cares about his patients

from Thomas in FL • February 12, 2024
Image provided by: Thomas
Dr Smith (Steve) has been my doctor from before he was with MDVIP. His calm, caring and friendly manner made it a no brainer for me to follow him to MDVIP. Steve is always available whenever I need him, even on his vacation days as all his patients have his cell number which is unheard of. We are about the same age so he knows what I'm going thru as I age. I am so thankful for him and truly Read more...

A true blessing

from Peter and Meredith in FL • February 12, 2024
Since coming to Lakeland Florida we have been patients of Dr. Steve Smith. Words cannot adequately express the true loving, thoughtful care that he has for each of us as his patients. I (Peter) have had an ongoing cognitive problem for the last 20+ years. I have been to Mayo clinic, Cleveland clinic, Shands clinic, many neurologist, and many other medical examinations done. In most of the cases I Read more...

Beyond the Best

from Paula in FL • February 10, 2024
There is not enough space to list all the ways we appreciate Dr. Steve Smith. Last year I wrote about how he helped me through sudden depression after a broken leg. This year he continues to follow up with true compassion and caring. My husband suffers from Parkinson's. Without Dr. Smith's guidance we would never be able to keep up with all the changes from this progressive disease. A Read more...
