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.

Dr Poliak always takes the time to listen and to explain in detail problems or questions you may have. He delivers info that he is confident about and therefore the patient has confidence in what he says - his perspective on what is going on. I am very glad to have him as my Primary Care Doctor.

I love Dr. Poliack's care as my primary care physician. He is knowledgeable, compassionate and very responsive. His nursing staff is kind and quick to answer questions or fill prescriptions. Sad to say, but after a lifetime of seeing primary care doctors, I feel like I finally have a doctor in Dr. Poliack that is concerned about my health.

Dr Poliak is very professional and concerned about his patients’ health. He explains the results of each tests thoroughly and responded to all questions. What impressed me is he was not concerned with time as he took the necessary time to ensure I was satisfied with his responses to my questions. Dr Poliak is patient focused. I highly recommend him as your primary care provider

My husband and I have been patients of Dr. Poliak for over 15 years. His knowledge and expertise, concern for patients and communications are excellent. His impact on my husband’s health has been life-changing on multiple fronts. His management of my Type II diabetes keeps me in the “excellent control” category. I can’t say enough how much we appreciate and rely on him.

Dr. Poliak is the best doctor I have ever known. He has an encyclopedic knowledge of medicine. He has known the most current medical information on any question I have asked him. He is kind, pleasant, and serious about his patients well being. I recommend him to everyone. My husband and sister have both benefited greatly from his care. He answers emails and returns calls. Dr. Poliak also has a very engaging sense of humor and he seems to like his patients. What more can I say?

I really like my doctor. He has been my personal doctor before & now as a MVIP partner. Takes time to talk w/ you & explains my test results along w/ any health concerns or issues I may have. Very professional w/ great bed side matter & shows concern for my best health. Responds to all my calls when needed, if I am in the US or traveling. My desire is to never lose him as my doctor.

Dr. Martin Poliak has the best bedside manner of any physician I have seen. He explains all test results completely with patience and in simplified terms that a layman can understand. He is compassionate and caring. He is not quick to prescribe medication, being open-minded to trying alternative methods of treatment.

I have been Dr. Poliak's patient for VERY long time. Even before he joined MDVIP I never had to wait on him and he always is kind, patient and takes whatever time is needed to help understand any issue.
My son came to him after struggling with a dehabilitating problem for 20 years. Dr. Poliak quickly resolved his issues and he has been a new person since then.
