Meet Shirley Rheinfelder, MD
I believe that the cornerstone of providing healthcare is a strong partnership between the patient and physician. When patients partner with their physicians, they feel empowered to make changes in their lives because they are part of the decision‐making process. In my many years of practice as a family physician, I have encouraged patients to call me by my first name to help make the point that we are on the same team, partners in their healthcare. The close personal relationships that I have been able to develop with many of my patients have been a blessing to me and a source of deep personal satisfaction. As an MDVIP‐affiliated primary care physician, I am excited about having more time to develop meaningful relationships with patients while providing personalized healthcare through state‐ of‐the‐art testing and preventive care designed to keep patients as healthy and as active as possible. My focus is on you and how to help you have a healthier and happier future by better preventing chronic disease and improving your health and wellness.
Having practiced in the Quad‐City area since 2010, I have relationships with many specialists who can help you with your unique needs. In addition to general family medicine, I have special interests in diabetes care, obesity management and caring for older and elderly 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.
