Meet Melissa Torres, DO
My MDVIP- affiliated practice offers services including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices. I also offer same-day or next-day appointments so I can see you when you need me. In the event that you cannot make it to the office, I have telehealth appointments available for your convenience and can see patients while they are located in Florida, Michigan, California or New York.
Upon entering my MDVIP-affiliated multilingual practice, you will be greeted in a warm, inviting atmosphere where you will be treated as part of our family. My primary care location is in Palm Harbor, Florida, serving that area, as well as the greater Tampa Bay/St. Petersburg area. . I focus on integrative health and preventive care in addition to family and obesity medicine.

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.
