I’ve been with MDVIP & Dr. Michael Gunter since 2005. Great Practice and Professional Staff ! I’m Happy to be on his practice

Daniel

Patient of Michael J. Gunter, MD

I have had the privilege of being under the care of Dr. Michael Gunter, and I can confidently say that he is an exceptional physician. What sets him apart is his unwavering dedication to his patients' well-being. Dr. Gunter not only listens attentively to every concern I bring forth but also respects my input, making me feel valued and heard. His humility and down-to-earth demeanor create a comforting atmosphere during appointments. Beyond the confines of his office, Dr. Gunter's commitment to his patients extends to extraordinary lengths. He once exemplified this by making a house call to attend to my mother after she experienced a minor stroke, a gesture that is truly remarkable in today's healthcare landscape. Additionally, his diagnostic acumen proved invaluable when my husband developed health issues while traveling abroad. On separate occasions, Dr. Gunter accurately diagnosed shingles and a gallbladder problem, providing timely guidance for accessing appropriate medical care even from afar. His proactive approach to healthcare not only alleviated immediate concerns but also facilitated swift and effective treatment interventions. Undoubtedly, Dr. Michael Gunter is an exceptional doctor whose compassionate care and clinical expertise make him outstanding in his field.

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.

from Lynn in NV • February 28, 2018

On New Year's Eve a few years ago, my husband had experienced terrible abdominal pain for hours as we drove home from California. When we got home, he called Dr. Gunter's office. He was supposed to be off that night and had asked another VIP to cover for him. However, he knew that we were not pleased with the other doctor and that his condition could be serious. He handled it himself, Read more...
