In case you haven't noticed, we have redesigned the VBPM website to make it more modern in appearance and more user friendly with navigation links both at the top of the page and on the left side.

Of course the content, purpose and philosophy of the office hasn't changed. We're still highly focused on patient-centered care, continuity, communication, compassion, professionalism and overall on providing the absolute best medical care that we can for all of our wonderful patients. We continue to deeply appreciate the honor, privilege and responsibility we all feel in caring for you.

New Answering Service!
We now have a new answering service which is dedicated to serving the health care community. This is different than the usual generic (non-medical) answering services in that they are more understanding of the needs of our patients. The number to call is the same as our office number - 757-416-6750 - which connects to the answering service after hours and on weekends and Holidays. You may get a brief recorded message first, but you should be able to talk with a live trained operator within 30 seconds, avoiding the long wait times often associated with other answering services.
As your concierge medicine office, we are always looking for ways to improve the quality of your health care. Please let us know how this new service is working for you.
Thank you, as always, for allowing us the honor of providing for your health care in the best way possible.

HSA Funds Can Now be Used for Concierge Medicine!
BIG NEWS for our patients who have HSA accounts!! A little known executive order signed in June of 2019 supports Direct Primary Care practices like ours by allowing patients with HSA accounts to pay the doctors' fees from those accounts, which in effect allows those expenses to be tax deductible! As always in these matters, check with your accountant for details.
Excerpt from Executive Order signed on June 24,2019 (Section 6 b):
"b) Within 180 days of the date of this order, the Secretary of the Treasury, to the extent consistent with law, shall propose regulations to treat expenses related to certain types of arrangements, potentially including direct primary care arrangements and healthcare sharing ministries, as eligible medical expenses under section 213(d) of title 26, United States Code."
