What Members Are Saying

Dr. Harper is an excellent MDVIP physician but this story is about his staff. I take a medication for type II diabetes and if I have to stop taking it I will probably have to go on insulin which is a step I definitely wish to avoid. For two months the manufacturer was unable to supply the medication to pharmacies. The RN at Dr. Harper's practice took action without even being asked to identify and work with the manufacturers representee to locate sample boxes to hold me until the supply chain was back to normal. MDVIP is the way to go.

Patient of Byron F. Harper III, MD

We brought Mom to Dr. Harper a few years ago after she expressed feelings of 'not feeling heard' by her former physician. Soon after seeing the kindest doctor ever (Dr. Harper), he dove just a little bit deeper into Mom's complaints... and found that she had cancer. Had Mom continued with her former physician, her diagnosis would certainly have been delayed and treatment may have looked very different than it does today. Mom is maintaining well and her cancer is at bay! Dr. Harper gave her life. He gave us Mom for a while longer. There are not enough superlatives for this man and his incredibly high functioning team of support staff (both front and back office). He listens. He responds. He explains everything in detail. He is not the a fabulous physician but a good human being and Christian. Thank you.

I went to a regular doctor for years prior to Dr Harper and the MDVIP program. I was diagnosed with diabetes and was prescribed medications that made me feel sick every day. One of the medications was actually causing me a sever reaction that sent me to the ER several times, On my 6month return visits there seemed to be no solution except keep trying at a lower dose. After signing up with Dr Harper and on my very first visit he began to evaluate my medications and made changes. After a day of taking them, Dr harper reached out to me to see how I was feeling. On next visit He had lab work done and made more changes. After being with Dr Harper for 4 years i can honestly say that this is the norm. He looks at how effective the medications are at controlling my ailments as well as how they make me feel. Every visit is like he is finely tuning my meds to ensure their effectiveness as well as what side effects if any that there may be. As if that was not enough, Dr Harper absolutely blew my mind and asked if he could pray for me. After 4+ years of being in his care with monthly visits (yes i said it correctly MONTHLY) visits, he has prayed for me after each and every visit. Any Dr who cares for people in this way is a caliber above, to add the fact that this Dr humbles himself in prayer to God makes him a hero in my book. The world needs more Dr Byron Harpers and I am extremely grateful to have him. I also want to add that his staff is no exception to this treatment. Every person you encounter in his office from the receptionist to the nurses are absolutely professional, sincere, & courteous.

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 Byron F. Harper III, MD

I plan on being his patient as long as he still is in practice.

from Mary Charlotte in GA • February 28, 2018

Dr. Byron Harper, III and I literally grew up together. I was a nurse in the same hospital he worked in, in his earlier years. So I know him from many sides and many years. I worked with his wife also, before they got married.
And I trust him because I have seen him grow as a person, a dad and a doctor. I did NOT joint MDVIP for the perks of the program.
