Meet James Chanez, MD


With over 20 years of practicing in the community, my goal as your personal internal medicine doctor is to manage and anticipate your unique healthcare needs. As an MDVIP-affiliated physician, I will partner with you on a personal level to help you achieve the optimal health we all value. We will closely collaborate on what it takes to stay on the path to wellness. A proactive approach and prevention of health issues will be provided with advanced testing and unique, comprehensive exams not covered by regular insurance.
 
You will feel welcomed by the relaxed, individualized attention you will receive from everyone in our office. Working closely together, we will make a difference in your healthcare goals. The relationship developed between myself and my patients is something I hold to the highest honor, and with my affiliation with MDVIP, I hope to develop that healthcare relationship even further.

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 James Chanez, MD

Head injury?

from Glenn in TX • January 19, 2024
I had purchased my ticket to a movie and as I pulled open the door to the theater it was a large light aluminum door and I was expecting a heavy door to match its size. The door knocked me in the head and I staggered backwards. I was not about to waste that ticket so I went in to the theater but couldn’t concentrate because I feared I had a concussion. So I got up and called Dr Chanez. He asked Read more...
