Houston and Dallas Physicians Open MDVIP-Affiliated Primary Care Practices
Houston Internist Sanila Rana and Dallas-Area Family Doctor Wesley G. Wilson Join MDVIP Network to Provide Personalized, Preventive Care to Patients in Their Communities
BOCA RATON, Fla., Aug. 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- MDVIP, the market leader in personalized healthcare with a network of over 1,100 physicians nationwide, today announced the opening of two MDVIP-affiliated practices in Texas. Sanila Rana, MD, a board-certified internist in Houston, and Wesley G. Wilson, DO, a board-certified family physician in Forney, have joined the MDVIP network and are currently accepting patients who seek more time and a closer relationship with their primary care doctor.
As MDVIP-affiliated physicians, Drs. Rana and Wilson offer a solution to the myriad frustrations that patients can experience with traditional primary care, including long waits to schedule an appointment, rushed visits and difficulty getting all of their concerns addressed. By maintaining a smaller practice, the doctors are able to spend more time with their patients to focus on prevention and early detection as well as help manage chronic conditions. Other conveniences include same- or next-day appointments that last an average of 30 minutes and 24/7 physician availability.
"Over the last two decades of practicing internal medicine, I've learned the importance of getting to know every patient as a person instead of treating them as a medical chart," said Dr. Sanila Rana, who has a special interest in diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular health, obesity and women's health and is fluent in English, Spanish, Urdu and Hindi. "My partnership with MDVIP allows more time to do just that, where we can discuss your concerns, dive into your health history and develop a care plan tailored specifically to you. Whether you're facing a complex medical condition or simply want to optimize your wellness, I want to help you achieve your goals and build a partnership that will last a lifetime."
"Since opening my practice in Forney three decades ago, my goal has always been to provide highly individualized and proactive care to patients of all ages in the community," said Dr. Wesley Wilson, who maintains hospital affiliations with Baylor Scott & White Sunnyvale and Texas Health Rockwall. "I'm excited to bring MDVIP's model of personalized care to Kaufman County, which not only provides a better experience for patients and families but is shown to improve health outcomes in measurable ways."
Personalized Care
For an annual membership fee, patients receive the MDVIP Wellness Program, a comprehensive yearly health assessment that includes advanced diagnostic tests and screenings to give a more complete view of the patient's overall health. Using the results, physicians provide ongoing coaching and tools to help patients make healthier lifestyle choices, prevent disease and achieve their wellness goals.
Other benefits include the MDVIP Connect app and website, which allow patients to communicate with their doctor online, access personal health records and obtain meal plans, workout programs and other healthcare resources. Should an emergent need arise while a patient is traveling, physicians can help arrange care with a local hospital, pharmacy or doctor, which may include another MDVIP affiliate.
Proven Health Outcomes
Eleven peer-reviewed, published studies show that patients in MDVIP-affiliated practices have better health outcomes compared to those in traditional primary care practices, including:
- 79% fewer hospitalizations for Medicare patients, equating to $600 million savings in one year
- 72% fewer hospitalizations for commercially insured patients
- 40% more patients identified at risk for cardiovascular disease using advanced testing
