Esteemed Internist and Medical Educator Dr. Amr Shady Opens MDVIP-Affiliated Practice in East Syracuse
EAST SYRACUSE, N.Y. and BOCA RATON, Fla. – March 10, 2026 – Dr. Amr Shady, a renowned internist, celebrated medical educator, and former Chair of the Department of Medicine at UHS, has opened a new MDVIP-affiliated practice in East Syracuse, New York. The membership-based practice represents Dr. Shady's decades-long mission to deliver preventive, patient-centered care, and his practice marks the 68th MDVIP opening in the State of New York.
“The MDVIP model allows me to align my principles and ethics with my daily work,” said Dr. Shady. “With a smaller practice size, I now have the opportunity to provide a level of care that focuses on prevention, better health management, and more time spent with patients, knowing that MDVIP is able to support each of those goals at every step.”
Patients of Dr. Shady’s MDVIP-affiliated practice will benefit from:
• A comprehensive Annual Wellness Program to help identify health risks before they become serious conditions
• The ability to see Dr. Shady quickly, take their time during each appointment, and reach him by phone after hours and on weekends
• Seeing Dr. Shady when they go to the office, not a nurse practitioner or physician assistant
• Support while traveling, with help arranging care with a local hospital, pharmacy, or doctor
Dr. Shady's office is located at 5015 Campuswood Drive, Suite 207, East Syracuse, NY 13057.
