Dr. Herbert E. Dempsey Opens MDVIP-Affiliated Primary Care Practice in Lee's Summit, Missouri

KANSAS CITY, Mo. and BOCA RATON, Fla., Feb. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- MDVIP, the market leader in membership-based healthcare with a network of over 1,300 primary care physicians nationwide, today announced that Herbert E. Dempsey, DO, a board-certified family physician in the Kansas City area, has opened an MDVIP-affiliated practice located at 801 NE Anderson Lane in Lee's Summit, Missouri. Dr. Dempsey, whose interests include cardiovascular disease, diabetes, hypertension and preventive health, is accepting patients who seek more time and a closer relationship with their primary care doctor.

As an MDVIP affiliate, Dr. Dempsey maintains a smaller practice, allowing him to spend more time with each patient. This is unlike traditional primary care practices, where high patient volumes often result in long waits for an appointment and rushed visits with the doctor. With more time, Dr. Dempsey and his patients are able to work closely together on disease prevention and early detection, and better manage chronic conditions. Dr. Dempsey's practice offers other conveniences, including same- or next-day appointments that last an average of 30 minutes and 24/7 physician availability.

"Coming from a long line of medical mentors with my grandfather and father both doctors, I knew from a young age that I wanted to become a physician so that I could help people," said Dr. Dempsey, who is affiliated with St. Luke's East Hospital, Lee's Summit Medical Center and Centerpoint Medical Center. "Throughout my 35 years of practice, I have sought to build deeper relationships with each of my patients. By having more time to spend together and utilizing comprehensive medical tests and screenings in the annual MDVIP Wellness Program, we can focus not only on reviewing issues but also on helping prevent them from happening in the future."

Personalized Care

For an annual membership fee, patients receive a comprehensive yearly health assessment comprised of advanced diagnostic tests and screenings to give a more complete view of their 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

MDVIP has achieved unrivaled patient satisfaction scores, which in addition to its annual membership renewals, consistently exceed 90%.
