What Members Are Saying

My wife Cathy and myself have been patients of Dr Portnoy's for over 30 Years. He and his staff have always been compassionate, understanding and has been there for us 27/7. His referrals, when needed, have always been been extremely helpful. We are so fortunate to have Dr Portnoy and his staff to help us thru medical issues.

Patient of Edward B. Portnoy, MD

Dr Edward Portnoy is highly competent, compassionate and patient, more than willing to listen and communicate. He is always there to help me with whatever illness I may have and helps me stay as healthy as possible. I can't imagine having a better doctor. All these years... Thank you.

Mary

Patient of Edward B. Portnoy, MD

Dr Portnoy is the BEST! Example: I came down with COVID. I texted Dr Portnoy and he sent a prescription in for Paxlovid. I picked it up and within hours I was feeling better. I worked the whole week during the regimen because that was how good I was feeling. Then I hear from co-workers suffering through COVID to the painful end and still having aftermath symptoms. I THANK MY DOCTOR and PFIZER for this miracle medication for those who can take it. Just sad to hear people who may be suffering unnecessarily. I got many more examples though they all follow the same wonderful support. Also, a shout out to the fabulous staff as we depend on them too.

Frequently Asked Questions

Doctors who operate in the MDVIP models typically see far fewer patients than traditional primary care doctors. That gives them more time to develop deeper doctor-patient relationships that can lead to better outcomes. They can also offer conveniences that most primary care doctors can’t, including same- and next-day appointments. They’re available after hours for urgent matters. And they have time to focus on prevention. That focus begins with the MDVIP Wellness Program, which patients pay for with their annual membership fee.

Most MDVIP-affiliated primary care practices accept insurance (your physician can tell you whether they accept your specific insurance plan). Your annual fee pays for preventive care medical services that insurance usually doesn’t cover (e.g., advanced diagnostic testing and screenings). Your MDVIP-affiliated physician will continue to bill your insurance and charge copays, co-insurances and deductibles as he or she currently does for other medical services like sick visits.

MDVIP makes wellness and prevention easier by providing your physician with innovative tools and technology. MDVIP supports your physician’s practice and seeks to eliminate barriers to a positive healthcare experience. Your doctor will determine whether and how to incorporate these tools at his/her discretion.

Testimonials from patients of Edward B. Portnoy, MD

Thank you for always being there, Doctor Portnoy.

from Ronald in CA • February 27, 2018

'When Dr. Portnoy gave me his cell phone number, I thought that I would be leaving messages for him. To my delight, when ever I call, I usually get him, even on weekends and in the evening. On the few occasions when I have missed him and left a message, I have always gotten a response within a short time.
This is the quintessence of concierge medical practice.
Thank you for Read more...

My time with Ed Portnoy always exceeds my expectations.
