Meet Denise C. Bannister, MD



My goal has been to take care of my patients the way I would want my family to be taken care of. At this point in my career, I see it as my priority to help identify risk markers in an individual and offer guidance to help patients as they strive for longevity and wellness of mind and body. Having raised four daughters with a busy private practice, I have learned the importance of balancing life's busy schedule and prioritizing one's health. Caring for my patients, I feel my own experiences help me empathize and encourage my patients to set healthier goals.

As a primary care physician, I am often the first person who people see with their concerns. Listening and having more time to discuss the needs of my patients is my priority. Together, we can form a plan. I am eager to spend time helping to empower individuals to pursue their health goals so they can be as successful as possible. I aim to educate and break down information so my patients can walk away with a better understanding of what we discussed. I consider myself a diagnostician and life coach, encouraging positive support to a healthier future. I believe living healthier and happier can be more successful with strong personal relationships, and I want to be part of that support.

My areas of interest are longevity, diabetes, cardiovascular prevention, memory loss prevention and stress management. Most recently, with the availability of newer weight-loss medications, I have enjoyed supporting those on their journey to healthier lifestyles and working toward their weight-loss goals.

I believe primary care has gotten more complicated in my 27-year career. The fundamentals are the same, but, in my opinion, the interference in the doctor patient relationship has increased. My MDVIP affiliation helps me to prioritize what I love about my profession. My practice offers services, including comprehensive advanced health screenings, diagnostic tools, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices.

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.

from Amy in TX • March 17, 2024
Dr. Bannister, you are not just an ordinary doctor, you are an extraordinary individual!
