About Fred Delboy, MD

I don’t manage patients: I care for friends and family. I chose to practice family medicine in Chestertown, MD, 30 years ago because of the what I find the Eastern Shore of Maryland is all about: getting to know families, from grandparents to their great-grandkids, and communicating openly with people who expect nothing less.

Knowing families helps me support them as they work to prevent diseases that may genetically pass from one generation to the next. I pride myself in being able to educate about health topics to help patients feel empowered to make health decisions for themselves.

Listening helps me to understand what each person values, and it also enables me to offer more individualized care. It requires patience and trust, especially when we discuss things that scare us. Thanks to the MDVIP model, I have more time to spend with each person, which is the main reason I affiliated with MDVIP. More unhurried time allows us to talk about life as well as health – a favorite dog, what one's kids are up to, and how our local football and baseball teams are doing!

I practice the breadth of family medicine with an eye toward prevention. My special interests include sports and orthopedic medicine, cardiology, diabetes, and supporting patients as they manage aging and associated conditions. Attention to mental health, including depression, anxiety and attention deficit, is also very important to me.

I am married to my wife, Jenny, the office manager at Chestertown Family Medicine, and together we laugh a lot with folks. We create closer relationships in which care is not just work, it is personal. My two adult kids keep me humble. So does the gravity of my work.

When a patient recently asked me when I was going to retire, I explained, "No time soon!" I love my work as a positive, encouraging health coach. Having so many friends and family in my workplace is a rare and joyful privilege.

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.
