Meet Dr. Laura Addis
My MDVIP-affiliated practice offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices. Results from the annual Wellness Program services can help us to stay on top of your health and develop action plans as you pursue your health goals. In addition to focusing on wellness and prevention, I also have a special interest in helping address chronic conditions, such as diabetes, hypertension, COPD, heart disease and more.
Basically, I can be your primary care doctor head to toe. My patients can reach me directly for more urgent matters after hours and on weekends. I can refer to and speak with specialists on patients’ behalf.
I enjoy spending time with my patients. I would like to get to know you and more about you. Our appointments are not rushed, and we can take as much time as we need. I offer same- and next-day appointments. I can work with you on your goals, whether it be to prepare for your next marathon or simply trying to decrease the number of medications you're taking. I look forward to helping you get on your path to a healthier and happier you!

Primary Care That Makes You Primary
Benefits of joining Dr. Addis' practice with MDVIP
Same/Next-Day Appointments
See Dr. Addis quickly and take your time during each appointment.
Reachable 24/7
Reach Dr. Addis by phone after-hours and on weekends.
Smaller Practice Size
MDVIP practices are smaller than most primary care practices, which means your doctor has more time to help you.
Your Dedicated Doctor
See Dr. Addis when you go to the office — not someone else like a nurse practitioner or physician assistant
Travel Benefits
If you need urgent care while traveling, your physician can help arrange your care with a local hospital, pharmacy or doctor.
Medical Centers of Excellence
For patients who need care beyond what is available locally, MDVIP can connect your doctor with specialists at some of the country’s leading medical institutions
Better Health Outcomes
Members have better control of chronic conditions like type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol and hypertension.
+ Plus Program
Members in MDVIP Plus practices receive similar testing and diagnostic screenings as members in standard practices. But the Plus program also includes important, advanced testing on cognitive, cardiovascular and metabolic health.
+ Cognitive Health
From head injury to the early signs of Alzheimer’s, cognitive impairment can have a significant and lasting impact. The wellness program plus uses advanced tools to look at brain health and provides a reliable score for comprehensive cognitive health.
+ Metabolic and Nutritional Check
Plus testing includes a comprehensive metabolic panel as well a check for certain vitamins and other nutrients. These tests can help identify risk markers for multiple diseases.
+ Advanced Heart Disease Testing
Heart disease is the number one cause of death in the U.S. and kills more people than all cancers combined. It’s also largely preventable. The MDVIP Wellness Program Plus includes advanced heart disease testing.
+ Inflammation Testing
Chronic inflammation can trigger disease processes that cause significant damage to your blood vessels, heart, brain, liver, gastrointestinal system and joints. It's linked to heart disease, diabetes, cancer, Alzheimer's disease, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis and arthritis.
Frequently Asked Questions
MDVIP-affiliated physicians use the Wellness Program Plus to help prevent little things from becoming big things – working to help patients enjoy life and be healthier. Those who value their health will appreciate having a closer doctor-patient relationship. Because MDVIP-affiliated physicians have smaller practices, they have more time for you, so you can receive the individualized care and service you deserve. Physicians offering the Plus program have a different set of testing to choose from than physicians in the traditional program; this testing looks at additional health risks. Plus doctors also use an advanced cognitive testing system to evaluate brain health and offer a medication review program.
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.
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.
