What Members Are Saying

Dr M. Sandra Scurria is the perfect doctor to represent MDVIP and will always listen with interest and professionalism to help me battle all my health issues.

Patient of M. Sandra Scurria, MD

Dr. Scurria is very important to me and my healthcare, wherever I am. She has always been there for me. A perfect example of how I rely on and trust her is the phone call that I made to while I was on vacation in Nice, France. My husband and I were wrapping up a sojourn in Southern France and staying at t a very nice hotel. We had returned from dinner when I started having stomach and chest pains. My husband called the front desk, and they sent up a doctor that I learned later was a sports doctor (would have been great if I had a torn Achilles). He decided that I should have a muscle relaxant. My "gut" told me otherwise. $300 and a written prescription later (I had declined the shot), I phoned Dr. Scurria. She said that the call from France was a First and told me not to do anything. Take something to go to sleep, if I could, and be in touch with her upon my return the next day. "Do No Harm." As it turned out, I was developing diverticulitis. That muscle relaxant was a bad idea. Dr. Scurria's knowledge of my history and her ability to think quickly saved the day for me. Dr. Scurria is the linchpin of my healthcare, near and far.

Patient of M. Sandra Scurria, MD

I have been with Dr. Scurria for many years and the older I get the more I need her attention! She always gets back to me quickly whenever I have a situation. In 2017, during Hurricane Harvey, I had an urgent medical need. Even with all the chaos caused by the storm, Dr. Scurria was there on the phone helping me get thought it and we found a solution. She always asks about my family whenever we talk whether it be in person or over the phone. I am very grateful to have her as my MDVIP!

Meet M. Sandra Scurria, MD

I chose medicine as a career because I wanted to help people feel better by taking a proactive approach to their wellness. Through my years of practice, I have enjoyed spending time with my patients getting to know them physically and emotionally. I believe working closely with each patient is the best way to develop an effective and personalized wellness plan. MDVIP's model of care allows me to get back to my original career goal of delivering more comprehensive and personalized care to my patients.

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.

I like being treated as a partner in my health care, instead of a subordinate.

from Charlene in TX • March 8, 2016

I like being treated as a partner in my health care, instead of a subordinate. Dr. Scurria is open to discussion and ideas, as well as questions. She also quickly recognizes the need for a specialist, and has professional associations with the best doctors for each need. Her recognition of a loved one's promance cancer got us to an oncologist in time for successful intervention and followup.
