What Members Are Saying

When I first met Dr. Lerro, I shared that I had lost my husband to ALS. She was very comforting and let me know the importance of taking care of myself for me, my two daughters and my grandson. She is very attentive to my health and suggests tests and performs exams to help me stay on top of my health. I am grateful for Dr. Lerro, I feel she treats people with respect and she truly cares about your health.

Patient of Elsa L. Lerro, MD

After having the same general physician for 40 years, I was a little apprehensive about having to bond with a new one. But I met Dr. Lerro and knew right away that I was in good hands. She’s caring, supportive and takes time with you. At my age, I’m grateful she is really into preventative treatment. I feel fortunate to have her as my physician.

We never have problem in scheduling our clinic visit. We are seen on time and Dr. Lerro spent adequate time in examining us as her patient and very knowledgeable in explaining laboratory results and giving instructions to prevent complications. She helped us in every way possible if there are health issues and problems. She is always available at any time to be called if there are health concerns or health problems. We are so lucky to have her as our provider.

Meet Elsa L. Lerro, MD

In my 25 years of practice as a board-certified internal medicine physician, I have been rewarded with long-term relationships with my patients through patient-centered medicine. I am passionate about taking care of each patient's unique needs and concerns. As your personal physician, I practice this very important philosophy of patient care - "look at the patient and listen to them very closely”- as the details of their history and examination is in correlation with results of appropriate diagnostic tests can lead to determining what ails them. In my MDVIP-affiliated practice, taking time with every patient is paramount to providing more personal and proactive care.

As a primary care physician, I focus on prevention, diagnosis and treatment of adult diseases including high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes and heart disease, with an emphasis on lifestyle modifications, increase in activities and evidence-based recommendations. At any stage of your adult life, I seek to be your healthcare advocate for comprehensive and personalized care. Having a partner in health who knows you personally can help lead you to better health outcomes. Your wellness is my primary goal.

As a female internist, I bring special perspectives, experience, compassion and a deep understanding of women's health needs. I also have a special interest in diagnosing and treating sleep apnea.

My MDVIP-affiliated practice offers services including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostics tests that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices. My practice also offers same- or next-day appointments and telemedicine visits when appropriate.

My practice serves the areas of Fresno and Clovis.

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.

Finally feeling well cared for

from Ian in CA • February 10, 2024

I was not valued by my previous physician, who over the course of a 15 year relationship with me, slowly became a "one problem per visit," frazzled and burned out man. Turning 68, I had developed a myriad of interrelated problems (renal, cardiovascular, nutritional) that I needed guidance on and that did not lend themselves to a one problem per visit model. I finally "threw in the Read more...
