Orrin

Patient of Alec Anders, MD

During the 2022 Christmas season, my daughter-in-law got COVID from a mid December shopping trip to NY (my son and his family live with me). I had hip replacement surgery scheduled for 1/24/23, and it took 2 months to get that date. I tested positive 12/27. Dr. Anders followed me every day by the portal on my status. After almost testing negative, I had a rebound. He agreed to put me on Paxlovid (I am currently 70), even though there was no data saying it would work. The Paxlovid did work! I tested negative 1/11/23, just enough time to be 2 weeks out from my surgery. The hospital required a PCR test, and I passed along that I had just recovered from COVID. They did the test anyway. It was positive. But, we all know it will be that way for several months. So before heading to the hospital at 4 am, I printed out all the daily messages between me and Dr. Anders and took them with me. I got a call from the hospital not 10 minutes from my house! Sure enough, every station I went to at the hospital asked me about the PCR test and wanted a copy of the emails. I made it all the way through and had the surgery, vital since there was NO cartilage left in my hip joint! Both Dr. Anders and I know the importance of covering all bases in medicine, even the email ones!

Two years ago I was at an extremely low point. A rift in my family had alienated my son from his daughters and thus my beloved granddaughters from me. At an office visit I confided this to your nurse, Carol. She went and got you and, like always, you listened in your wonderful, supportive way. You and your wonderful, caring staff helped me through this difficult time. The therapist you recommended was just who I needed to talk things through with. And your suggestion that I move up my someday plan to move to Asbury Methodist Village was spot on. I will always be grateful to you ( and Carol and Andrea) for your kindness and support.

Meet Alec Anders, MD

Connecting with patients on any level and speaking in a clear, straightforward yet empathetic way, is my communication style. Being entirely fluent in Spanish has enabled me to connect with more patients than I ever imagined. One of the best compliments I ever received from a patient was "you're really a regular guy who happens to be a doctor". This compliment means so much to me because I believe as a physician, communication is paramount. I also feel that earning your trust and respect starts with "walking the talk" in living a healthy lifestyle. I am an avid exercise enthusiast with a strong interest in sports medicine, which helps not only athletes but patients with any type of pain.

As a family medicine physician, with almost 20 years of experience in handling all types of chronic illnesses and doing numerous office procedures, I feel very confident in being your "quarterback" - the doctor who can handle multiple complex issues and coordinate care with the entire healthcare team. In partnering with MDVIP, my family medicine practice allows me to have the time to focus on wellness and prevention. I believe preventing problems long before they come to fruition makes sense for everyone. My MDVIP-affiliated practice, often compared to a concierge medicine practice, also offers conveniences like same- or next-day appointments.

My practice is located in Rockville, MD adjacent to Shady Grove Adventist Hospital, where I have privileges. I look forward to working together with you to accomplish all of your healthcare goals.

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 Alec Anders, MD

Dr. Anders is on top of every aspect of our medical condition.

from Lawrence in MD • March 8, 2018

Before-MDVIP Dr. Anders was a reach at Potomac Physicians. Too many patients and little continuity. I remember when my wife (Neena) called me about Dr. Anders opening a MDVIP practice. My response was immediate. The burden of fractured medical care for us was removed in seconds. Our medical care is measured by superlatives. We are so thankful for the personal and professional relationship we Read more...

Over my entire life I have never experienced the level of care

from Steve in MD • March 8, 2018

Over my entire life I have never experienced the level of care, professionalism, empathy, responsiveness and attention to detail that I have with Dr. Anders with any other health care provider. I only wish I had met him years ago. Just recently I experienced back to back severe colds in my upper chest that knocked my down for nearly 6 weeks. Dr. Anders saw me within 2 hours of calling him on Read more...

I trust him to advise on my wellness, not just treat illnesses that arise.

from Matt in MD • March 13, 2018

I told Dr. Anders during my last visit, which was a review of my annual physical results, that this is how a patient/Doctor relationship should be. He's the first doctor ever to ask me about my diet. I trust him to advise on my wellness, not just treat illnesses that arise.

He is so understanding and through with his explanations.

from Janet in MD • March 21, 2018

My husband was a patient for a few years, so when Dr. Anders changed over to MDVP I met him at the orientation I was very impressed and also joined. I have never regretted it. He is so understanding and through with his explanations. His advise on how to improve health with yoga and the correct exercises has improved my pain intensely.

Dr Anders and the staff take a personal interest in helping me get better and healthier.

from Raymond in MD • February 27, 2018

It is nice to have the whole staff work with you on a personal level. Also, it is nice to come into the office and not feel rushed. I really like the fact that Dr Anders and the staff take a personal interest in helping me get better and healthier.
