New MDVIP-Affiliated Primary Care Practice Opens in Willow Grove
Dr. Diana Tyler Rocks Delivers Patient-Centered Internal Medicine with Emphasis on Prevention
MDVIP, the national leader in affordable personalized healthcare, announced today that Diana Tyler Rocks, D.O., FACOI has opened an MDVIP-affiliated primary care practice in Willow Grove, Pennsylvania, to deliver a better healthcare experience with an emphasis on health prevention, not just the treatment of illness. Board certified in Internal Medicine and a Fellow of the American College of Osteopathic Internists, Dr. Rocks has served as an attending physician at Roxborough Memorial Hospital and Chestnut Hill Hospital in Philadelphia, and will soon be on staff at Abington Memorial Hospital in Abington, Pennsylvania.
Her new practice is located at 2300 Computer Avenue, Suite M69, in Willow Grove, Pennsylvania. The office phone number is 215-346-2821.
“I approach medical care from a comprehensive perspective, treating the whole patient through personalized, preventive care,” said Dr. Rocks. “ It is important for me to educate my patients about all aspects of their health and collaborate with them on setting goals and taking the right steps to achieve them. “

Personalized Preventive Care
MDVIP-affiliated physicians have significantly smaller practices, which allows them to spend more time with each patient and provide highly individualized primary care compared to traditional practices. For an annual membership fee, each patient receives the MDVIP Wellness Program, a comprehensive yearly assessment that includes advanced diagnostic tests and health screenings to provide a more complete view of the patient's overall health. Using the results, physicians provide one-on-one coaching and tools to help patients make healthier lifestyle choices, prevent disease and achieve their personal wellness goals.

Proven Health Outcomes
Published research supports the MDVIP model: Medicare patients in MDVIP-affiliated practices were admitted to the hospital 79% less than patients in traditional practices, and commercial patients were in the hospital 72% less, notes an American Journal of Managed Care study. This significant reduction in hospitalizations yielded a $300 million savings for Medicare in one year. Furthermore, readmission rates for Medicare patients suffering heart attack, congestive heart failure, and pneumonia were dramatically lower than readmission rates for non-MDVIP Medicare patients.
Smaller Practice, More Time
Other benefits of an MDVIP-affiliated practice include same- or next-day appointments that start on time and last an average of 30 minutes. Physicians are reachable 24/7 by cell phone. If patients have an emergent need while traveling, their physician can help arrange care with a local hospital, pharmacy or doctor, which may include an MDVIP-affiliated physician. Demonstrating the value of the MDVIP model, patient satisfaction and annual membership renewals consistently exceed 90 percent.
