Boca Raton, FL (PRWEB) November 10, 2006 -- MDVIP, Inc., the national leader in preventive and personalized medicine announced today that Simon D. Murray, M.D., will open a new practice that will enable him to deliver a higher level of personalized healthcare with an emphasis on prevention and early detection. Dr. Murray, whose office is located at 719 Route 206, Suite 100, in Hillsborough, is the first physician in the area to affiliate with MDVIP.
"Part of my decision to affiliate with MDVIP was based on the fact that they are a very results driven company with an exceptional 90 percent patient satisfaction rate coupled with a 95 percent membership renewal rate," Dr. Murray said. "As an MDVIP-affiliated physician, I will now have the time to partner with my patients to help make them the healthiest they can possibly be."
In the current model, the healthcare system steps in at the diagnosis stage, when symptoms present. Not only is this a detriment to the patient getting the earliest possible care, which is the best chance of complete recovery, but it's also much more costly for the system. MDVIP has solved this problem. Because MDVIP focuses on prevention, with a much closer patient relationship, patients of MDVIP-affiliated practices are seeing reductions in hospitalizations of up to 65 percent for Medicare beneficiaries, and up to 80 percent for commercial insurers.
"This is a giant step forward in transforming health care in America for the better. MDVIP-affiliated practices allow the patient to have a better, closer, more confidential relationship with their doctor," said Tommy Thompson, former U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services and Chairman of MDVIP's Committee on Cost Reduction Through Preventive Health Care. "The MDVIP care model really puts the emphasis on keeping the patient well, and their dramatic hospitalization reduction rates are proof of that. This is the way we should be practicing medicine. It's the way the patient wants it, the way the doctor wants it, and that's the way the system should work."
Dr. Murray was named among "The Best Doctors in the United States" and also among "The Best Doctors in the New York and New Jersey Metropolitan Area" by Castle Connally. He is board certified with the American Board of Internal Medicine and completed his residency at Rutgers Medical School. Murray is an affiliated physician with University Medical Center at Princeton.
