What Members Are Saying

21 years ago I had an intestinal blockage which a surgeon wanted to do surgery on. I did not want surgery unless it was absolutely necessary. Dr Pratt directed medical procedures for me while I was in the hospital that cleared the blockage & put me back to being myself without any surgery. I have trusted & appreciate his medical decisions since then which was 21 years ago. I also appreciate very much his office assistant Annie who really knows how to get things down & supports Dr Pratt very much. Dr Pratt & Annie have always been there for me when I need them. Thank you Dr Pratt and Thank you Annie.

Dr. Pratt always has time for us. He sits back in the chair and seems like we are the only people who matter at that moment. He never rushes us and calmly listens even when we get a bit off topic. He takes what we say seriously, asks questions and helps us find solutions…all without making us seem overly anxious, or stupid. We always get a smile when we leave, and if we see him outside of our appointment times, he stops and spends a few minutes just greeting us and being kind, treating us like friends. We had choices in picking a doctor, but we could not have made a better one!

I was thrown from a horse in Outer Mongolia and immediately knew something was wrong with my wrist. I was hoping against hope that it wasn't broken. The nearest doctor was practicing in a soviet-era hospital consisting of about four patient rooms, one exam room, one office, and an "emergency room". He couldn't immediately x-ray my wrist because it was raining and their computers wouldn't connect to the internet. Finally, the rain stopped and he was able to do the x-ray and confirm a break. He couldn't send me a copy of the x-ray but my guide took an iPhone photo of his computer screen and I texted that photo to Dr. Pratt. Dr. Pratt immediately contacted an orthopedic hand surgeon and showed him the x-ray photo. Within a couple of hours, Dr. Pratt called me and told me I would need surgery. Although it took me a few days to get to an airport, I was able to schedule a flight and I texted the flight information to Dr. Pratt. He had an appointment set up for me the next morning with the hand surgeon who immediately removed the cast, which was put on incorrectly, and put me in a wrist brace. I was operated on a week later. I am 100% positive my hand would not have been restored back to perfection had it not been for Dr. Pratt's intervention. Kudos also to the Class A hand surgeon he set me up with!

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.
