MDVIP - your best prescription

When Dr. Eckert invited me to an evening overview about her new MDVIP practice eight years ago, I signed up immediately. I was intrigued with the focus on wellness. A full physical each year, usually not offered in a traditional medical practice was a strong “selling” point to join MDVIP. Fortunately, I enjoy good health and wanted to be involved with a doctor who would become a partner in my quest for continued optimum health as I believe in preventive medicine.

Dr. Eckert combines her medical practice with a holistic approach. When we meet to go over the results of my annual physical, we also talk about other incidents going on in my life – things that could impact my health on a psychological level. She analyzes my lab tests and makes recommendations. During the often two to three hour sessions she has come to know the whole me to understand my personality, my passions and how I wish to live a healthy life to the fullest and make a contribution to my world.

I rarely schedule an appointment but am confident I’m able to see her within hours on the same day if needed. I can also text her a question and she will respond as soon as she can and I do not feel invasive of her time. This ability to have direct access to my physician supports our partnership feeling: she is always there for me. This is a very important feature of her practice and another reason I continue to be her patient, believe in her and her MDVIP practice.

She revealed her grandfather was the doctor in the small town in which she grew up. He was her role model and inspiration to become a doctor. I believe she is passionate about her practice because MDVIP allows her to have some of that small-town country doctor feeling to get to know her patients on a more personable level. She is dedicated to her work and I hope we will be together for many health filled years to come.
