What Members Are Saying

Since Dr. Zeale became my primary care doctor in the fall of 2018, I have been extremely impressed by his professionalism, knowledge, follow-up and care. I don't have one incident to relate or describe since there have been a series of interactions that have demonstrated his dedication and concern for me as a patient. In all interactions, in person, by phone or email, he is very professional and courteous, including being respectful of my time. He is very thorough in relating possible treatment options for possible test outcomes. Follow-up after tests results have been received is extremely prompt, with a phone often the same day test results are submitted. His memory of my prior medical issues and/or tests is excellent, even without references to my medical files. All referrals he has made for specialists to address specific medical problems have been excellent. In short, after moving from Maryland where I had a primary care physician who was very good, I was worried about finding one in New York who would provide the same level of care. Happily, I was referred to Dr. Zeale by my husband who transitioned to him after our move. I couldn’t be more satisfied with signing up to Dr. Zeale’s practice. He is the kind of primary care doctor I wish everyone could have, and I am remiss in not thanking him enough and complimenting him on his exceptional care.

I have been with Dr. Zeale for 35 years. He is someone who cares, spends time with you, listens to your concerns and offers great advice. He never rushes you and is deeply concerned about your well being. I wish the world would have more doctors like him.

Lucien

Patient of Peter J. Zeale, MD

On all counts, Dr Zeale personifies as an exemplary physician . He is a great listener, empathetic, thorough beyond normal in assessing your overall health. I recently received a scan report that was concerning, and Dr Zeale was able to see me to discuss the report and follow up immediately after arriving from an overseas trip . It was reassuring.

Meet Peter J. Zeale, MD

I have been practicing general internal medicine and taking care of patients throughout the New York City metro area since 1983. I believe the essence of providing quality care is building close and personal relationships with patients and their families. This happens when there is trust, open communication and a mutual commitment to a healthy lifestyle.

In my personalized healthcare practice, I have more time to work closely with all of my patients and tailor their care to their unique needs and goals. For the past 25 years, I have been recognized as one of Castle Connolly’s “Top Doctors” in New York. My MDVIP-affiliated practice also offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices.

My office is conveniently located on the lower west side of Manhattan, and I am affiliated with New York University Medical Center. I care for patients in the immediate area, as well as surrounding neighborhoods, including Chelsea, Gramercy, Midtown, Tribeca, Flatiron, Murray Hill, Union Square, East Village, West Village and the tristate region.

I take pride in having an exceptional and attentive office staff who know my patients on a personal level. As a private doctor, my patients have peace of mind knowing I am available for same-day or next-day appointments, as well as by cell phone for urgent needs. In addition to primary care, I also focus on prevention and treatment of hypertension, diabetes and high cholesterol. I aim to partner with my patients to better understand and solve their medical problems through early interventions and wellness counseling.

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.
