Vicki Bralow, DO

As an MDVIP-affiliated physician, I utilize the annual wellness program and extended visits to develop personalized care plans with my patients. We manage chronic medical problems with healthier lifestyles that include whole foods, exercise, stress reduction techniques, risk factor reduction, vitamin supplements and medication when necessary. I provide education about ketogenic diets, paleo diets, low-carb diets, reading food label ingredients and understanding the nutritional value in the foods we eat.  We learn how exercising to burn fat mass differs from exercise to improve core strength for balance. Many patients are now in control of chronic medical problems like Lyme disease, depression, anxiety, digestive disorders, diabetes, high blood pressure, cancer and heart disease rather than those problems controlling them. 

I am board-certified in family medicine and am a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine. My hospital affiliations include Pennsylvania Hospital and Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia and I have developed close relationships with many of their top specialists. I speak to them directly about my patients' acute medical needs and can often schedule appointments quickly. My personalized healthcare practice is in the Bella Vista neighborhood of Philadelphia near historic Society Hill, Queen Village, Midtown Village and Washington Square. Our South Street location is vibrant and diverse, and the office is sunny and colorful with views of our community garden. 

As your private doctor, I will help you navigate the healthcare system, which can be a daunting process, and I will be your advocate for any healthcare concerns outside of my office. I also offer conveniences, like same- or next-day appointments that start on time, which may be found in concierge medicine practices. I look forward to being your physician partner as we begin your journey towards a healthier you.
