What Members Are Saying

Good friend suggested a new primary care doctor when I needed one. He was pleasant, his staff very helpful and office not far away. When he joined MDVIP, I thought long and hard about the extra expense. Friend who had referred him to me, only lasted about a year with the new kind of practice. Told me she thought he would retire shortly and she didn’t want to spend the money. I did not consider the new practice that she chose. And as before, didn’t have anyone else in mind. One afternoon, right before a major holiday, Easter, I fell right close to my front door on paved driveway. The accident was caused by my little dog that I was taking for a walk. As we rounded the corner she must have seen a deer, as she jumped in the air pulling me off balance and crashing down. I knew if I let go of her I might never see her again so I turned sideways to save my face and did a real number on my right side particularly my leg. I had to crawl back up three steps and back inside my house to crawl across the floor to find my phone. First called my son who lives next door and then my primary doctor on his cell phone. He assessed my condition, told me what equipment I needed and offered to get such to me if I could not find it. Fortunately, a family member had a commode and walker from recent surgery so I was set and saw my doctor first thing Monday morning. That incident alone would have convinced me to stay with him. Living alone, it is just such a comfort to know I can always reach help. Yes, three years later, he did retire. But I chose to be transferred to another local MDVIP doctor. It was painless and the best part for me is not only did all my information go to the new doctor with no effort on my part, but the same office staff moved also. It is very comforting for this 82 year old not to have to start over with totally new people. While I have only seen my new MDVIP twice, I love that he is familiar all ready in the type of care I am used to having.

Dr Clifford is a wonderful, caring and gifted doctor. I am new to his new MDVIP practice and could not be happier with the professional and informative way he has welcomed me. I have the utmost confidence in him and his staff and look forward to him advising me on my health for years to come.

Dr Clifford took over Dr Herman's MDVIP practice and I had my follow up with him. Wonderful doctor. Took the time to go over EVERYTHING item by item with me and made sure I understood it all. Highly encourage anyone to join his practice.

Meet David S. Clifford, MD

My goal as your personal family physician is to help you live a healthier and more active, fulfilling and independent life. Our teamwork helps my patients and me better address acute care situations while emphasizing wellness and approaches to help prevent disease.

I believe that my education, practice experience and expertise along with compassion and understanding can offer a better healthcare experience, one that can help foster a happier and healthier life.

Practicing in West Seneca for 28 years, I am acquainted with numerous specialists for referrals as needs arise. My MDVIP affiliation supports more individualized care, and the annual wellness program includes advanced screenings and tests shown to help better detect certain risk factors earlier. I hope to help you focus on wellness and prevention, both physically and cognitively, by reviewing possible indicators for heart disease, diabetes and emotional health issues, to name a few. And we offer same- or next-day appointments for added peace of mind.

I am affiliated with Mercy Hospital of Buffalo. I speak 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 David S. Clifford, MD

Restored my faith in doctors

from Sophie in NY • January 17, 2024

I came to see Dr Clifford after going nearly 5 years without seeing a PCP. I was so impressed by his staffs kindness and calm approach to my first appointment anxieties and questions. When you speak with Dr Clifford it is immediately clear he not only cares about his patients, but also about medicine and the advancement of medical biology. His understanding and explanations of my lab results were Read more...
