I have been a patient of Dr. Brescia for about 29 years and can't imagine going to another doctor as my primary care provider. He and his staff are the best I have seen. Most of the specialist I have seen their first question is do you have insurance and then you wait a couple months for and appointment. Even before MDVIP this is not the case with Doc Brescia. He treats his patients like… See more

My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness...
My primary care practice will continue to serve the Middle Paxton Township, as it has for over 37 years. As an MDVIP-affiliated physician, my goal is to provide you with highly personalized healthcare while focusing on prevention and wellness. Similar to conveniences often associated with concierge medicine practices, I also offer same- or next-day appointments that start on time. I will also continue in my role as the Chief Medical Officer, treating our students in the Central Dauphin School District. I will remain on active staff with Pinnacle Heath Systems (Community Osteopathic Hospital, Harrisburg Hospital and West Shore Hospital).

Testimonials from patients of Dr. Brescia
We have been his patients for over 30 years. He is a very caring and Pleasant Doctor. He aways has a story to tell or some kind of humor to share. He has had many of our family members through the years and knows our family well. He is very knowledgeable about lots of medical problems. We just love him.
Our daughter was in her freshman year of college and struggling to adapt. Her pediatrician prescribed Antidepressants and it sent her into a downward Spiral. Dr. Brescia recognized this and slowly took her off the medication. She has done a complete 180 and is thriving now all because he recognized something wasn’t right, showed compassion and fixed another physician’s misdiagnosis. Thank you… See more

Recently, I unexpectedly experienced blood clots in my leg. Dr. Brescia, who has been my doctor since he opened his office many years ago, immediately prescribed the appropriate treatments. Dr. Brescia's kind and knowledgeable care resulted in my good health today. He and his staff are always respectful, caring and good listeners. I am most grateful.
it is very relaxing going to see doc brescia , he is very personable and comforting
Dr. Brescia has been my doctor for over 20 years and I as all my extended family that were and are patients of his were always treated like VIP'S. I really have no interest in MDVIP but joined because I can't imagine finding or going to another doctor. He and his staff can't be improved on in my opinion.
Dr Brescia is always available to answer a text or phone call when needed. He listens and makes you feel like you are a partner in your health journey. He is knowledgeable and is current on health issues and treatments. He always makes you feel relaxed and supported !
