What Members Are Saying

I’ve been an MDVIP patient for 20 years. I can’t say enough about the service levels they provide. From quarterly blood draws, short notice appointments, Rx’s while traveling and availability on weekends, it’s been a great experience.

Michael

Patient of Francoise Menteer, MD, FACP

Upon return from an extended weekend attending my alma mater's basketball games in the Midwest, I called Dr. Menteer that I had a slightly elevated temperature and was feeling weak. She immediately arranged an appointment and upon her brief examination, had one of her office staff (thank you, Leah) push me in a wheelchair across the street to the Emergency Room of Los Robles Hospital. After multiple tests, it turned out I had an abscess in my appendix that could prove dangerous if it was punctured. Dr. Menteer arranged to have a phenomenal surgeon, Dr. Fujita, perform the installation of a drain tube to drain the abscess and shrink the appendix for removal safely at a later date. At that later date, while removing the shrunken appendix labroscopically, Dr. Fujita discovered an adjacent tumor attached to the colon. Pathology of the tumor proved to be cancer requiring further surgery to remove it and part of the adjacent colon. This surgery was performed two weeks later with the pathology of the colon and lymph nodes proving benign! All of this because Dr. Menteer reacted so quickly to send me on a wheelchair to the Emergency Room for examination. Thank you, Dr. Menteer and team!!!!

There are too many anecdotes that reflect what a diligent, knowledgeable and caring physician Dr. Menteer is. She is flawless at returning calls, even on weekends or at night. She is always pleasant, reassuring and ready to help - whether it’s prescribing the correct medication or just assuaging any anxiety one is experiencing. Always conducting a thorough examination and discussing it clearly and suggesting or mandating a course of action. A few years ago, I was in a lot of pain for an ongoing condition for which I had already taken medication earlier. I called her on a Sunday night to see if I could take more later but a little earlier than the label called for. She helped calm me down and gave me instructions for ways to alleviate the pain. She is a wonderful doctor and an even better person

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.

Molte Bene

Like One of the Family

from Stephen in CA • January 20, 2024

Many years ago, Dr. Menteer became my wife's PCP. I don't think I even had one. She loved her, and when Dr. Menteer joined MDVIP, my wife didn't hesitate to pay the membership fee. I thought she was crazy! After a few years my wife talked me into trying MDVIP out, and I reluctantly joined with Dr. Menteer as my PCP, as well. I quickly came to know why my wife loved Dr. Menteer Read more...

Always There for Me

from Michael in CA • December 1, 2022

This is my 20th year as an MDVIP subscriber! Dr Menteer and her staff are always there for me when I need them. They are caring, professional and efficient. I can make appointments on short notice, communicate when traveling abroad and her specialist referrals are excellent. I can’t imagine going back to a standard primary care physician. Dr Menteer’s care is second to none.

Saw my Mom the day I called.

from Audrey in CA • February 29, 2020

My Mom feels very comfortable with Dr. Menteer. She's gotten more short of breath recently and Dr. Menteer changed and added stronger diuretics. She sent my Mom to the cardiologist and he's changing some meds and treatments to get the fluid out. We can count on Dr. Menteer to see us right away.
