A presenter handed Dr. Sunny Sharma a key to the village of Hoffman Estates and introduced his new concierge medicine practice during a brief public presentation.

The practice, Dr. Sunny Sharma said, will focus on prevention and treatment of chronic conditions including high blood pressure, diabetes, cancer and heart disease, with an emphasis on weight loss and overall wellness. "This is a concierge medicine practice. Each appointment, instead of being 10 to 15 minutes long, is 30 minutes to 2 hours with a large emphasis on prevention," Dr. Sharma said. He directed people seeking more information to MDVIP's website.

The event was a short ceremonial introduction rather than a policy meeting or formal government action. Statements and the ceremonial key presentation occurred in a public-facing segment; no motions, votes, or official municipal actions were recorded in the transcript.

Dr. Sharma described services patients can expect, listing high blood pressure, diabetes, cancers, heart disease, weight-loss support and general wellness as primary focuses. He characterized the practice as "concierge"—emphasizing extended appointment times and preventive care compared with typical 10- to 15-minute visits.
