What Members Are Saying

Doctor Hankenhof has always been concerned about all aspects of my life, not just the medical part. During one recent visit he had to give me some news about a test result that was potentially troublesome. With everything else going on, this is not what I wanted to hear. Sensing my growing anger and frustration, Dr. H grabbed me by the shoulders and in a calm, reassuring voice said, "Just breathe, we've got this." That was all I needed to hear. He was right. What a great doctor and staff!!

My story begins in 2006. I was a patient of Dr hankenhoff's when he first started his practice in New Iberia Louisiana. When I went to him I was very ill I had been diagnosed with lupus and other autoimmune diseases. Dr hankenhoff took the time to make sure that my condition was being treated correctly. He spent time at every session going over all of my ailments which were a lot and making sure that he dealt with each one of them the best way that he could. Now it's 18 years later and I still could not do without this doctor. He saved my life numerous times. I went through an incredibly bad bacterial infection which required almost daily contact with my doctor. He never made me feel like I was bugging him, he always took the time to answer my questions and he treated me with the care that everyone deserves. For this I will always be truly grateful for him and his services.

In February of 2022 I had a mild case of covid. After returning to work, I seemed to tire quicker than I did in the past. I didn't think much of it; after all, I was a teacher and teachers never get quite enough rest. I also noticed that I seemed to have lost my desire to dance. I used to dance down the halls of my school. Again, I didn't think much of it. In July of 2022, I had my wellness check. Dr. Hankenhof's nurse, Bethani, saw that my EKG was off. It showed that I was in afib. She immediately told Dr. Hankenhof. He stopped what he was doing to check on me. He wouldn't let me leave his office until I had been set up to see a cardiologist and had been prescribed medication to help me until I saw the cardiologist. Because of his caring, I was quickly back on the road to excellent health.

Meet Robert Hankenhof III, MD

My goal as your personal doctor is to partner with you to help you achieve optimal health. This includes a focus on diet, exercise, stress reduction and relationships with a mix of spirituality. What I have found is when patients are working hard on improving their health, not only is their body benefitting – often, their relationships are better and they are happier in their lives. I will work with you each step of the way to help you make informed decisions towards achieving your goals. I have also done an intensive with the BaleDoneen Method® of heart attack and stroke prevention and have incorporated many of these principles into my practice.

As one of the few family physicians in Acadiana offering this personalized healthcare approach, I provide a level of care that you simply cannot get with the cattle-drive mentality of many traditional practices today. My MDVIP-affiliated practice offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices.

My practice is located in downtown New Iberia, Louisiana, and serves patients from all around Acadiana including New Iberia, Lafayette, Broussard, Youngsville, Carencro, St. Martinville, Abbeville and Franklin. I very much enjoy what I do and provide a relaxed environment for us to work together as a team to help achieve your goals.

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.
