Meet John Cottingham, MD
My goal as your personal doctor is to partner with you to discuss your current health problems and create a personalized healthcare plan to help as you work to prevent new ones. I believe that people have specific medical needs and desire a unique path to improved health. I can work with you at each step in your care to assist you with making informed decisions about how you can pursue your goals – whether it's running your first marathon, improving your nutrition or reducing the use of medications when possible.
I emphasize lifestyle medicine in my practice. I will seek to avoid prescription medications whenever possible and get to know each of my patients on a deeper level, beyond just their immediate needs.
I maintain board certification with the American Board of Family Medicine. My primary care practice is located in Webster, Texas, and focuses on preventive care in addition to family medicine. My MDVIP-affiliated practice offers conveniences, like same- or next-day appointments with minimal waiting, which may be found in a concierge medicine practice. I am affiliated with Clear Lake Regional Medical Center in Webster, Texas.

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.
