Dr. Emily
Salmon-Denikos in Lake
Worth and Dr. Dimitri M. Gitelmaker in Hollywood Join MDVIP
to Provide Personalized, Preventive Care to Patients in Tri-County
Area
BOCA
RATON, Fla., April 29,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- MDVIP, the market leader in
personalized healthcare with a network of over 1,100 physicians
nationwide, today announced the opening of two new MDVIP-affiliated
practices in South Florida.
Emily Salmon-Denikos, M.D., a family
physician in Lake Worth, and
Dimitri M. Gitelmaker, M.D., a board-certified internist and
obesity medicine specialist in Hollywood, have each joined the MDVIP network
and are currently accepting patients who want a more direct
relationship with their primary care doctor.
MDVIP-affiliated physicians offer a solution to the many
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, doctors are able to dedicate more
time with 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.
"As a family physician, I want patients to feel that their
wellness is my top priority and strive to live by my own advice to
help ensure that what I recommend can be actionable," said Dr.
Salmon-Denikos, who is fluent in English, Spanish and French. "With
experience in anesthesiology and critical care, I am well versed in
pulmonary and cardiac health. I also have a special interest in
women's health, nutrition, insomnia and diabetes management. By
joining MDVIP, patients and I are able to work closely together on
addressing their most concerning issues and build a personalized
plan aligned to their goals."
"My focus with patients extends beyond simply treating illnesses
to emphasize proactive measures, including preventive care,
healthier lifestyle choices and a more collaborative approach to
decision-making," said Dr. Gitelmaker, who is double board
certified in Internal Medicine and Obesity Medicine and speaks
English and Russian as well as conversational Spanish and German.
"The MDVIP model of care makes this possible, allowing me to have
more in-depth discussions with patients, additional time during
examinations and a greater understanding of their individual health
journey."
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
