Meet Raphael L. Lopez, MD
Strengthened Patient-Doctor Relationship
At the heart of my practice is a partnership approach to healthcare. I view the patient-doctor relationship as a collaborative endeavor where both parties participate in the decision-making process. I encourage patients to voice their concerns, ask questions and provide input. I want patients to know that their values and preferences are respected and can be integrated into my care plans.
Patient Education
Thanks to the MDVIP model, I have more time to spend discussing my patients’ health conditions and concerns, preventive measures and potential treatment options when necessary. I strive to enhance patients' understanding of their health and the importance of proactive care.
Honesty and Openness
By being forthright and transparent, I aim to help alleviate potential fears and misconceptions, as well as help patients make more well-informed decisions about their care. I do this by trying to set realistic expectations. My hope is to foster a sense of security and trust so my patients know they have a dedicated personal physician who works to understand and guide them on their health journey.
Personalized Support and Care Plan
My approach to care promotes holistic well-being and positive attitudes. Results from the annual MDVIP Wellness Program that I offer can help us identify risk factors and get a more comprehensive view of your health. We can develop a personalized plan of action in which we take into account your individual medical history, lifestyle, preferences and challenges. I encourage patients to maintain regular follow-up and communication with me so I can celebrate achievements and continue to motivate them on their path to improved wellness.
Serving the metro Atlanta, Georgia area, 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- and next-day appointments.

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.
