About Elizabeth A. Gernhardt, DO

I was inspired to become a physician after experiencing medicine as a patient. My experiences demonstrated a goal to prioritize individualization and personal care. I subscribe to the osteopathic medical principle of interrelation between body structure and function. I believe in supporting patients in maximizing preventative care.
As an osteopathic physician with over 25 years of providing patient care in Forty Fort, PA, and surrounding communities, my MDVIP-affiliated practice is dedicated to offering services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices.
I approach every patient as a whole person, not just a list of symptoms. As an osteopathic physician, I might not only prescribe medication but also use preventive care, lifestyle wellness guidelines and physical manipulation to help you address an underlying cause of a problem. I am committed to spending more time with my patients so we can discuss their unique needs, symptoms and goals and come up with an individualized plan of action.
I embrace building a physician-patient relationship that is centered on respect, trust, open communication and teamwork. I believe this approach plays a vital role in health care. My aim is to support you through my education and medical experience. I aim to be your advocate and assist you as we navigate your health needs together.

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.
