What Members Are Saying

You have been there with me on all I’ve been through. Found excellent doctors for me. Very supportive and caring.

Frank

Patient of Joseph DeRosa, MD

Last summer I woke up one morning with tremendous pain in my left side making it very difficult to walk. Dr DeRosa and his staff kept in touch with me daily for several weeks as I sought out several specialists to determine the cause of this pain. As each specialist ruled out their suspected diagnosis Dr DeRosa and staff persisted in finding an answer. When he referred me to a pain specialist the cause was finally determined and treatment began. I am so grateful for Dr DeRosa and his staff for supporting me through this difficult and painful time.

Patient of Joseph DeRosa, MD

Words cannot describe my appreciation for Dr. Joseph DeRosa's ongoing commitment to my care, and the care of my son. There is never a time I reach out to him that I don't hear back within an hour, most often sooner. Amy and Lisa, his team, are also at the ready to assist whenever I need attention or help. Without Dr. DeRosa's care all of these years, I'd truly be a mess! His honesty, integrity, kindness and compassion are beyond any care I've ever received, and I'm thankful for his friendship, as well. My son has had numerous health problems, and he is not necessarily on top of most of them. While it isn't easy for Dr. D or his team, they never give up reaching out. That means more to me than they could ever imagine. Thank you, Dr. D, Amy and Lisa for everything you doing and for always being there. I'm so very appreciative. With lots of love and appreciation, Tara Sweeney

Meet Joseph DeRosa, MD

I have been a physician specializing in internal medicine and primary care for over 20 years. My approach to your care begins with creating and maintaining an environment of comfort, caring, trust and individualized service.

When my patients are at the office, they are the focus of my attention with no interruption, delay or time constraints. The commitment to your health and wellness cannot be rushed. My smaller practice affords my staff and me the time to provide advanced screenings and tests to help identify risk factors and diagnosis and treat issues as early and effectively as possible. We also can focus on planning, prevention and comprehensive coordination of your care. My affiliation with MDVIP has helped me to achieve and improve upon these goals and principles with particular emphasis on cardiac care, bone health, respiratory care, diabetes, fitness, nutrition and more. Similar to concierge medicine practices, I also offer conveniences like same- or next-day appointments that start on time.

Our new state-of-the-art building and facility were designed with overall patient comfort and care in mind. My two long-time nurses, Amy and Lisa, have established personal relationships with each patient, allowing for the highest level of attention and follow-up care.

Having grown up in Westfield, New Jersey, I am an active member of this close-knit community and am proud of my family’s interest and involvement within the community as well. Located in the heart of Westfield, my personalized healthcare practice serves many surrounding areas of Union County and beyond. I am on staff at Overlook Hospital in Summit.

In 2014, I successfully passed my third American Board of Internal Medicine exam. The completion of this rigorous exam underscores my desire as an internist to stay highly trained and abreast of the most current diagnostic and therapeutic modalities in the field of internal medicine.

Although I maintain a small and intimate practice, I am always interested in meeting potential patients who share the same goals for their health.

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.

The care we get with our physicals is exceptional but where they Read more...

My Physician Remembers

from Shirley in NJ • February 11, 2024

Just a few weeks ago, on the anniversary of my husband's sudden death, I received a text from my physician and his staff sharing with me that he and his staff fondly remembered the "Big Guy." It was so heartwarming to hear and with tears rolling down my cheeks, I texted them a heartfelt thank you.
