Meet James P. Harkins, MD


My mission is your health and your wellness. My style is not just caring for my patients but caring about them. Critical to their health management is a true understanding of their lives, their world, which so greatly impacts their health. The MDVIP personalized healthcare model provides me the time to do just that. Wellness takes on different meanings at different ages – from running your first marathon at age 40, planting that vegetable garden at age 60 or dancing at your granddaughter’s wedding at age 80. I look forward to partnering with you in optimizing your health and your wellness wherever life finds you.

My MDVIP-affiliated practice in internal medicine primarily serves the Main Line and western suburbs of Philadelphia. Similar to conveniences often associated with concierge medicine practices, I also offer same- or next-day appointments that start on time. I am associated with the Main Line Health system and serve on the active medical staff of the Lankenau Medical Center. I have over three decades of trusted relationships with skilled specialists and surgeons qualified to assist you with your unique needs. Join me now and let us work together so that you may be all that you can be.

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.

Dr. James Harkins is a very dedicated and compassionate primary care physician. He always greets his patients, listens to them, takes notes and has everything at his fingertips.

Memorial Day

from Stephen in PA • January 22, 2024
My wife and I both MDVIP members and we contracted COVID on Memorial Day weekend. We were really frightened, but we were hesitant to call Dr. Harkins because it was Memorial Day. We called him because we just didn't know what to do. Well, he answered his cell phone right away and told us exactly what to do and what to take to help fight off the COVID. He took all the time we needed to speak Read more...

Dr. James Harkins Saved My Surgery

from PAUL in PA • January 20, 2024

I was scheduled for prostate cancer surgery on a Monday, but on the Saturday beforehand, Johns Hopkins called to tell me that they had not received my medical records (after Dr. Harkins sent them twice to the FAX number supplied). Turns out that the FAX number they gave us had been discontinued a decade earlier. We were out of town and had no practical way to get back to Dr. Harkins office to Read more...

Thank You Dr. Harkins

from Frederick in PA • March 24, 2020
I am alive today because of the medical expertise/personal care of Dr. James P. Harkins, MD. During the summer of 1995, my wife and I along with a friend from work and his wife were leaving, on Friday, to spend the week-end at the New Jersey shore. Because I was having coughing episodes and I thought it was the beginning of a cold, I stopped to see Dr. Harkins. After the initial examination, I Read more...
