What Members Are Saying

Dr. Claves always goes above and beyond. I have personally been a patient for over 20 years. I’ve had many medical scares and she is always available to help, even if she is vacationing. There is no such thing as a stupid question to her. I’ve been hospitalized three times over the past 5 years and she is well informed about the facts. Dr. Claves was the physician for both of my parents, I attribute her care as to what kept them alive so long. My. Husband is also a patient and her ability to evaluate what. Is happening with him has kept him alive. I’ve never meet a physician that is as caring as Dr. Claves! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all you do.

Patient of Jennifer L. Claves, MD

When I first moved to Philadelphia in the early 2000s, Dr Jennifer Claves was willing to take a new patient and that proved to be save number 1! Dr. Claves has always been a caring and empathic physician, and I knew from my first appointment that I found the best doctor for me. I still believe that 23 years later. Dr. Claves saw me through all the testing when I started having significant issues that appeared to be gall bladder related, but not gall stones. She referred me to a Gastroenterologist where it was found that my gall bladder was not working. Following the surgery, I still could not eat without getting sick and the Gastroenterologist was not getting back to me and the surgeon was no help as his job was done. I reached out to Dr. Claves and she immediately knew the issue, prescribed cholestyramine and that was save number 2! Congratulations Dr. Claves. You deserve this honor. I have followed Dr. Claves and will continue to do so. She has always been surrounded with a team that is as professional and caring as she is both in the exam rooms and in the office. Thank you Dr. Claves for being you and the best!

Helping her to get the best care possible. She made sure she had the best Specialist in the area. Also made sure they were aware of the urgency and see her quickly. My wife has said many times "Dr. Claves saved my life". She always gives us amble time and listens and is interested in our lives. YES Dr. Claves is the best and we are so thankful to have been her patients for the last 16 years.. Thank You.

Meet Jennifer L. Claves, MD

My passion as a board certified internist is to provide you with more personalized healthcare. In my MDVIP-affiliated practice, you will be treated as if you are a member of my family. I believe healthcare should be collaborative, and I hope my staff and I have created a warm and welcoming atmosphere where we can all work together as a team.

In my 20-plus years of practice, I realize the importance of preventive medicine and how individual patient needs can vary. My partnership with MDVIP allows me not only to focus on preventive medicine, but also to help personalize it to your unique history and situation.

I am an attending physician affiliated with Main Line Health. Having practiced in the Bryn Mawr area for my entire career, I have a large network of specialists to whom I can refer in the three major health systems in Philadelphia. Advocating for you when it comes to specialty care, or even hospital care should you need it, is something on which I pride myself. My primary care practice serves the Philadelphia suburbs.

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.
