What Members Are Saying

I don’t have a special moment to share because each visit I make to Dr. B is special. I have confidence in his ability to diagnose and treat whatever my many chronic issues have presented. His professionalism makes me feel safe and I have confidence at the decision he makes regarding my treatment plan. He always includes me in the decision making process. I feel very blessed to have him as my physician as well as his staff.

Rita

Patient of Michael Bienenfeld, MD

Although I have only been seen by Dr. Michael Bienenfeld for less than two years, he has exceeded all of my expectations as my primary physician. I am amazed how quickly he responds to any medical need. Sometimes I see him within hours of contacting his office. He and his staff are very professional and diligent about finding solutions to my health problems. On my last visit I was able to go straight to a lab only minutes away to get a C-SCAN and X-ray. He really cares a lot for his patients. He contacted me within hours after the scans with the results and called in a prescription to give me relief. The next day he scheduled additional blood and urine analysis to further identify the cause of my problem. He had the results to discuss with me the same day and called me in the evening to assure me nothing serious was found but there were issues that needed to be addressed. I NEVER have received such immediate attention in my whole life. On all occasions he was knowledgeable enough to identify the causes of problems and always has provided quick solutions to health problems. I am so happy I signed up with MDVIP and found such a wonderful primary provider as Dr. Michael Bienenfeld.

Roger

Patient of Michael Bienenfeld, MD

For many years I was in medical practices consistently rotating my primary care doctor. I received many recommendations by friends and family to change practices & get with a medical practice with more focus on continuity of care and partnering with your doctor on health decisions to help manage my autoimmune, chronic illnesses and overall health. I’m glad I listened and made the change to my current doctor ( Michael Bienenfeld). As an individual with many autoimmune diseases, I know one size treatment does not fit all illnesses. Autoimmune issues are not a straight line & require a doctor with excellent listening skills and more patience. Dr. Bienenfeld has been a very helpful healthcare partner who understands I’ve been living with autoimmune disease for decades and learns from that history when making medical decisions. He has also helped be better navigate the current medical environment and all the conflicting medical information published on an ongoing basis. I am very grateful to have him and his team for my medical needs. Thank you Dr. Bienenfeld! Tammy G.

Meet Michael Bienenfeld, MD

I always try to follow the practice principles I was given when I finished my residency in internal medicine in 1986. First, be truthful to yourself and your patients no matter how much it hurts. Second, your patients are smart so present the options to them clearly and let them decide on what to do. However, be truthful in explaining the potential consequences of the decisions. Finally, if you really can’t help them medically, always be there for support.

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.
