Meet David A. Johnson, MD, FAAFP


I grew up in the Carson Valley, the son of a family physician. I chose to leave and go to medical school with the goal of returning, as a family physician, to the community that raised me. I have been practicing medicine in Carson City, Minden and Gardnerville for over 13 years and have done so with the goal of helping people live happier and more fulfilled lives without health problems getting in the way. As I progress in my career, I have learned that helping to prevent disease is one of the greatest contributors to living healthier.

My passion for wellness was inspired by graduating medical school and feeling overwhelmed physically and mentally. It was at that time that I understood firsthand the value in education and having the tools and resources to address my health issues and help prevent disease.  To this day, I apply these principles in my primary care practice when caring for my patients and helping them enjoy healthier lives for years to come. 

As your personal family physician, I believe in patient-centered care and not only treating my patients, but also getting to know them personally, beyond their symptoms.  

As a chronic wound care specialist in our region, I also help people avoid irreversible consequences of medical problems, of which many can be prevented. Prevention, however, is an investment of time and energy on the part of a patient. It also requires time on the part of one’s personal physician to provide the tools for success. 

My MDVIP‐affiliated practice offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices. I also offer conveniences like same‐ or next‐day appointments and the ability for my patients to contact me during and after hours. This individualized and comprehensive approach helps to create collaboration and responsiveness in both your journey toward wellness and when you have an urgent need.

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.

Time Spent.

from Douglas in NV • January 19, 2024
I know this is a different kind of practice. However, Dr. Johnson spent over an hour with me going through each page of my results for the annual wellness exam. I told him I did not feel comfortable taking up anymore of his time and his reply was we can spend as much time as you need. Just a totally different result compared to the alternative.

Dr. David Johnson was there for me

He talked to me in a kind reassuring Read more...
