Daphne Stamos Keshishian, MD

Meet Daphne Stamos Keshishian, MD


As an internal medicine physician with a background in both inpatient and outpatient medicine, I work with each patient as a whole human being, rather than specific organ systems. With this personalized healthcare approach, I am able to help my patients understand and respect their bodies so they can better prevent disease and  manage chronic conditions. I utilize my 20+ years of medical expertise to facilitate the process of achieving proper health and wellness. 

Communication is paramount to the doctor-patient relationship, and I spend extra time to develop meaningful relationships with my patients both inside and outside of the exam room. I enjoy sharing healthy cooking tips to improve nutrition, and we incorporate exercise, such as Pilates and Yoga to enhance flexibility, improve sleep quality and increase core strength. Similar to concierge medicine practices, I also offer conveniences like same- or next-day appointments that start on time. 

I am one of a few female MDVIP-affiliated internists in the Washington, D.C. area. My practice is located in Bethesda, MD, serving the Arlington and McLean areas of Virginia, as well as the Potomac, Wheaton and Silver Spring communities of Maryland and Washington, D.C. I am affiliated with Adventist Healthcare Shady Grove Medical Center in Rockville, Maryland and Suburban Hospital in Bethesda, Maryland, and I always visit patients in those hospitals. As a primary care doctor board certified in internal medicine, I also have interests in preventive medicine, women’s health, nutrition and integrative health. I speak fluent English and Spanish.

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 Daphne Stamos Keshishian, MD

She made it possible for me to be here to write this story today.

from Marc in MD • March 10, 2020
When I went for my first general physical, Dr. K. heard my -- now much louder -- aortic valve murmur. She referred me for what turned out to be lifesaving open heart surgery. During the recovery period in the hospital, I experienced what some thought might have been a seizure. Dr. K. went to some lengths to track down the nurse in the Surgical ICU who had witnessed the episode. After her Read more...

Having recently moved from Vermont where I had a great team of doctors, I was dreading finding an “acceptable” primary doctor. After much research, I decided on Dr. Daphne Keshishian. BEST DECISION EVER!!! She is the best doctor I have ever had. She listens, she is on top of test results, calls me with news and a plan. I feel safe in her hands. She truly is the gold standard in my book!

Dr. Keshishian treats me like I am part of her family.

from Amy in MD • March 2, 2020
She is very hands on with my care and follow up. She has given me her cell phone number so that I can call her directly with problems and concerns.
I was recently diagnosed with cancer because she pushed me to have early tests, and then she spent time researching the best surgeon and oncologist who would treat the rare kind of bladder cancer I have.

she was great, smart and knowledgeable .....

from Fred in MD • March 5, 2018
My exam was quite comprehensive....dr k explained all my blood test numbers and immediately put a plan forth to check out some situations.....she was great, smart and knowledgeable .....

They all care so much.

from Gina in MD • March 7, 2018
Until I started this practice, I never knew so many kind and caring medical professionals. They all care so much.
