Distinguished Family Physician Gaddiel Rios, M.D., Opens First MDVIP-Affiliated Practice in South Dakota in Partnership with Monument Health

Dr. Rios Brings Personalized Care and Stronger Doctor-Patient Relationships to the Black Hills

RAPID CITY, S.D. and BOCA RATON, Fla., Oct. 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- MDVIP, the nation's leading provider of membership-based healthcare, has launched in South Dakota with its first affiliated practice led by board-certified family physician Gaddiel D. Rios, M.D., in partnership with MED 360 by Monument Health. Dr. Rios, a former U.S. Army doctor with 22 years of experience in family medicine, is accepting new patients at his clinic, located at 211 Founders Park Drive, Suite C, in Rapid City, South Dakota.

As an MDVIP affiliate with MED360 by Monument Health, Dr. Rios maintains a smaller patient panel, which allows him to devote more time and attention to each individual. He provides comprehensive care to patients of all ages, from newborns to seniors, with a strong focus on prevention and lifestyle modification for long-term health. Dr. Rios has received certificates of excellence in diabetes management, and he has a special interest in integrating natural approaches to weight management, stress and anxiety reduction.

"I believe that finding the right doctor is akin to finding a perfect place to live—it has everything you're looking for and feels like the right fit. My goal as a primary care doctor is to make patients feel at home and treat them as part of my family," said Dr. Rios, who is bilingual in English and Spanish. "I am thrilled to be an MDVIP affiliate with MED360 by Monument Health, where I can devote more time to focusing on what matters to each individual and collaborating with them on their lifelong health journey."

With a smaller practice, Dr. Rios is able to offer additional benefits to patients, including:

• Same-day or next-day appointments
• Extended office visits
• 24/7 physician availability via phone
• Family plan in which children of adult patients can be seen for routine visits and sick care without any additional membership fee
• Coordination of care with specialists when needed

Annual Exam That Goes Beyond the Basics
Through an annual membership fee, patients receive a comprehensive yearly health assessment that includes advanced diagnostic tests and screenings to give a more complete view of their overall health. Using the results, Dr. Rios provides personalized coaching and tools to help patients make healthier lifestyle choices, prevent disease and achieve their wellness goals.

Power of Prevention
Multiple studies have been published in peer-reviewed medical journals showing that patients in MDVIP-affiliated practices experience fewer hospitalizations and readmissions, visit urgent care centers and emergency rooms less often, and have better control of chronic diseases compared to patients in traditional practices. MDVIP patient satisfaction scores and annual membership renewals consistently exceed 90%.
