Meet Steven A. Drell, MD

I have been an internist and primary care physician for 30 years.  My goal is to get to know you personally and medically to create a personalized health and wellness plan that promotes prevention and an active lifestyle. I will partner with you to help manage and anticipate your unique healthcare needs as well as to help you achieve your personal wellness goals.

I offer the time and resources to help care for you more personally and proactively. My MDVIP-affiliated practice, often compared to a concierge medicine practice, offers conveniences like same- or next-day appointments.

I am affiliated with Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center, and my practice is conveniently located in Sherman Oaks, California. I provide comprehensive care for patients in Encino, Tarzana, Sherman Oaks, and all surrounding areas through the San Fernando Valley, Los Angeles, and the Conejo Valley.

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.

Testimonials from patients of Steven A. Drell, MD

Dr. Drell has been my personal physician for 27 years to my complete satisfaction.

from KAREN in CA • February 17, 2014
Dr. Drell has been my personal physician for 27 years to my complete satisfaction. He is never loathe to refer me to other physicians when needed (which is seldom as he can treat 95 of my medical needs) and is there for me 24 hours a day as needed, long before MDVIP. I respect him and he respects me and yet we maintain a cheerful and informal level of care that is mutually agreeable to us both Read more...

from Joseph and Elinor in CA • February 22, 2014
Dr.Drell has been our internist for over 40 years, so when he chose to join MDVIP,
we went along with him. He always makes himself available. He is very knowledgeable and knows the right specialist to recommend when necessary. It is important to us, that we can have complete confidence in him. And besides all that he is very pleasant during our visits.

He's compassionate, caring and I feel so grateful he's there for me.

from Art • March 27, 2017
I would like to thank Steve Drell for being there for me when really needed. I am fortunate so far to not have frequent personal needs and when I do I get right in to see him, he gives me quality time and will even save me a trip to the ENT doctor if the wax needs cleaning in my ears! :-) What really made the difference was during my wife's last week or so with lung cancer. Her doctor was Read more...
