Group lets docs have patience

Frustrated with seeing as many as 40 patients a day for just a few minutes at a time, seven doctors will be the first in Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky to join a national network of specialized medical practices. The Florida-based MDVIP network is trying to join with more practices around the country. Patients who sign up for MDVIP get regular physicals, a Web-based listing of all their medical records, and a fee pays for the preventive care that is not covered by Medicare or private insurance policies.
