About Jeffrey Farnese, MD
As an internal medicine physician practicing in the town where I grew up, I am committed to providing comprehensive, patient-centered care rooted in the values of traditional family medicine. My approach is grounded in the belief that individualized healthcare is personal, timely and built on long-term relationships with patients and their families.
I strive to embody the “old style” of medicine, where the physician is not only an experienced medical provider but also a trusted advisor and advocate. I utilize a broad range of diagnostic tools—including chest X-rays, ultrasound, pulmonary function testing, and EKGs—directly in my office to support timely assessments of my patients’ health. By performing in-office procedures, such as phlebotomy, excisions, earwax irrigation, flu vaccinations, toenail excisions and more, I can help address a wide variety of medical needs.
My goal is to support my patients as they pursue living healthier and happier and as they work to minimize specialist referrals and hospital visits whenever possible. I believe in helping patients feel empowered through education, preventive care, and open communication, as I aim to foster a collaborative environment where each individual feels heard and respected.
Practicing medicine in my hometown is both a privilege and a responsibility. I am dedicated to upholding personalized care, blending modern medical knowledge with the personal touch that, in my opinion, help define family medicine.

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.
