Dr. Goodman, whose office is located at 2495 Newbridge Road, in Bellmore, is the fifth physician in the area to affiliate with MDVIP.

Boca Raton, FL (PRWEB) November 16, 2006 -- MDVIP, Inc., the national leader in preventive and personalized medicine announced today that Michael Goodman, 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. Goodman, whose office is located at 2495 Newbridge Road, in Bellmore, is the fifth 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. Goodman 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."

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.

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 insureds.

"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. Goodman is board certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine and completed his residency at Nassau County Medical Center. He was honored by Castle Connolly as one of "America's Top Doctors." Dr. Goodman is also an affiliated physician with South Nassau Communities Hospital.
