What Members Are Saying

My experience with Dr Lashkari and his staff are very nice and professional. I always get a follow up calls when I’m sick. Dr Lashkari was the one that found that I have cancer after going to a few doctors and no one came to the correct diagnosis. I am very grateful to him.

Patient of Saman Lashkari, MD

Dr Lashkari has been our primary caregiver for approximately 20 years. He has been available 24/7 when we were in need. Response to e -mails with advice at night or weekends with personal follow up the following day. Not just a call from someone with no information or history. He is terrific. He has built a cadre or specialist of increasing ability thru the years. Thank you Doctor Lashkari, please find time to play more tennis

Patient of Saman Lashkari, MD

My milestone moment would be four years ago when I was hit by a car and spent six weeks in the hospital. I had several surgery’s. Flatlined several times. Had my knee in a brace for a month and went through rehab. I became much closer with my doctor and good personal friends. Dr. Saman Lashkari was a great listener and we had many phone calls and home visits. I would not have gotten through any of my recovery without him being by my side from the beginning. He was a God send and is to this day a very caring and thoughtful person and friend.

Meet Saman Lashkari, MD

I aim to be each of my patients advocate and to work with them individually to help them reach their health goals. My MDVIP practice gives me the necessary time to be detailed and thorough and focus on cardiovascular prevention and ensuring that all my patients are up to date on all their routine health maintenance needs on an annual basis. With new and improved tests including the Cleveland heart panel and non-invasive testing to screen for earliest signs of arterial thickening, I am able to have a more personalized focus on each of my patients and help them reduce their cardiovascular risk. I look forward to getting to know each of my patients on a personal level as I believe it allows me to better take care of them. My own personal interests include physical fitness and healthy nutrition and I enjoy sharing my experiences with my patients and getting them to be more proactive and involved with exercise and healthy eating. I see all of my own patients in the hospital setting and in rehab facilities and if need be, perform home visits as well on my home-bound patients. I enjoy organizing walks and exercise related events for my patients to help them get more motivated and involved in their health-care. I also have a geriatric background having completed a fellowship at UCLA and this helps me utilize a multi-disciplinary approach to keep my elder patients out of the hospital and to try to keep them as young as possible.

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.
