Primary Care Medicine Physician - Practice Ownership Opportunity in Erie County, NY

Erie County is a metropolitan center located on the western border of New York State covering 1,058 square miles and consisting of three cities and 25 town governments. Buffalo serves as the county seat and is the second largest city in the State.

The county is bounded by Lake Erie to the west, Niagara County and Canada to the north, Genesee County and Wyoming County to the east, and Cattaraugus and Chautauqua Counties to the south. It is home to countless museums, galleries, restaurants, shops, professional and college sports teams and more than a dozen colleges and universities.

When an MDVIP-affiliated physician decides to retire, our experienced Physician Services team finds a qualified doctor to purchase this established, stable practice. It is a unique opportunity for an incoming physician to either relocate or transition to a more personalized primary care model. For doctors interested in acquiring a personalized care practice or seeking employment, we have opportunities around the country as MDVIP-affiliated physicians retire and take advantage of our succession experience. We work with physicians the same way our affiliated doctors work with patients—we customize our efforts to meet unique business needs.

As the national leader in personalized, preventive primary care, MDVIP offers physicians in all types of markets —rural, suburban and urban—the opportunity to open a new membership practice. Even without an existing patient base, MDVIP develops a comprehensive business strategy at no cost to you to assist you in starting your practice successfully and then continues to invest in your growth and prosperity.

Because people are our priority, we work together with our affiliated physicians to establish continuity of care for patients who choose not to participate in our membership-based model. In other words, no one is left without care. Become an employed physician by working alongside one of our experienced affiliated physicians, providing continuity of care in a traditional setting for patients who are not enrolled as members.  

• Independence and control of your destiny – you practice medicine on your own terms. 
• Smaller practice means more time for your patients who need it, as well as time to pursue worthy causes in your local community and beyond.
• An unhurried, stress-free office atmosphere that your patients and your staff will appreciate.
• Help patients achieve improved health outcomes and avoid hospital admissions, visits to the ER or urgent care through more advanced testing and a focus on prevention and wellness.
• Intellectual stimulation from being able to research complex cases and educate your patients.
• Assist patients needing highly specialized care or second opinions with referrals to some of the nation’s top healthcare facilities through MDVIP’s Medical Centers of Excellence program.
• Tap into the expertise of prevention-minded MDVIP colleagues coast-to-coast.
• Shape the future of primary care by participating on the MDVIP Medical Advisory Board or special task forces.
• Take advantage of medical practice operational benefits, including support services and discounts exclusive to the MDVIP national network.
