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.

Forever doctor and forever friend.

Why I am grateful for Dr. Harkins

from Susan in PA • February 17, 2024
I was referred to Dr. Harkins by my previous gynecologist because Dr. Harkins was his physician! So Dr. Harkins was a qualified referral from someone I already trusted and respected, especially since my gynocologist saw me through some tough times with cancer.
I was thrilled out of the gate with Dr. Harkins because he is smart, kind, responsive, knowlegeable, thorough, yet not an alarmist, Read more...

Simply the Best

from DiSanto in PA • February 15, 2024
My original doctor was retiring and referenced me to Dr. Harkins. In my first appointment with him (many years ago), I was immediately impressed with the time he spent with me, and the level of care I received. I simply referred to him as "he is my guy for healthcare". When Doctor Harkins announced he was joining MDVIP and present the offer (from MDVIP), I was put-off by the whole Read more...

Dr. James Harkins

from Gina in PA • February 15, 2024
Dr. Harkins has always been attentive, respectful and helpful whenever in need. A year ago I was diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer. He quickly advised tests. If it weren’t for his quick response to my symptoms, I would be in worse shape. He also takes good care of my husband. We are blessed to have him in our lives. Staff are always helpful and friendly.
