What Members Are Saying

She and they are the best in every way: knowledgable, capable, available, efficient, caring, kind, responsive. And I did very much appreciate that Dr. Freeman visited me in the hospital a few years ago when I was in for a few days due to a surgical mishap made by another doctor. I hope she doesn't retire for a long long time!!

Patricia

Patient of Helene C. Freeman, MD, FACP

Dr. Freeman and her assistants, Shirley and Tasha, always make my visits comfortable. They have become like family to me. Dr. Freeman once checked on my family member and offered consultation even though they weren’t patients of hers. That meant the world to me and I’ll never forget it.

Patient of Helene C. Freeman, MD, FACP

I'm not used to being told that I can't do something I want to do, so, you can imagine my shock when I was told that Dr. Freeman's office was closed to new patients. But, luckily for me, she had an opening, and I had a strong referral from one of my Specialist Doctors. I've been in business myself for 45 years, and know what good customer service is. And, know that you don't find it very often. But, that's the exception in Dr. Freeman's practice. She is a really good Doctor, and has a very efficient and caring staff. When she was away on vacation, which she doesn't take that often, one morning I couldn't get out of bed, I was so dizzy. I called Dr. Freeman's office, and was told that her back-up Doctor would see me, which he did within one hour. He was so professional, and kind, and prescribed medication that solved my problem within a very short time. I was so relieved, and so appreciative that Dr. Freeman is my MDVIP Doctor. She has a system for seeing you, and testing you for any issues, and she explains everything, and gives you options about alternatives. I consider myself very fortunate to have this kind of care. Thank you MDVIP, and Dr. Freeman.

Meet Helene C. Freeman, MD, FACP

My philosophy is that patients should be active participants in their own health to the best of their abilities. Engaging my patients in establishing a plan of care is paramount. I feel my job is to not only diagnose and treat, but to help educate and guide patients through the complexity of today's health care system. I aim to partner with my patients to solve their medical problems, and to also prevent problems through wellness counseling and early interventions.

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.

A helpful approach to a summer weight gain

from Lucie in MD • February 18, 2024

After a successful weight loss and maintenance period or over a year, I regained 30 pounds during a stressful summer where I was out of town. Upon return to my hometown I met with my Doctor. The scale told the story but my doctor simply said "This is just a starting point." She simply moved us along to the rest of my check up and encouraged me to return to my regime that had worked Read more...

LIFE SAVER

from Susan in DC • January 20, 2024

Helene Freeman is, to me, a life saver. After a routine X-Ray I was told that everything was fine. When the reports were sent to Dr. Freeman, she saw something that the radiologist missed.
It turned out to be Lung Cancer. Who knows how long I would have walked around with this deadly disease? Who knows what stage it would have been when it finally was discovered.
