My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness...

Being an MDVIP-affiliated physician allows me more time with each of my patients to get to know them beyond what brings them into my office. Being able to develop close and personal relationships with my patients enables us to work together to create their individualized wellness plans. I encourage my patients to take an active role in managing their health risks so they can achieve their wellness goals every year.

from Sandra in MD March 17, 2020 for Alan R. Sheff, MD

So happy my late husband and I followed Dr. Sheff to MDVIP when he joined years ago..
He continues to be honored each year on “The Best Doctors” lists.
He helped us over the years navigate some very serious health issues . His patience, skill and knowledge with me now that I am an aging widow. are extraordinary. Don’t know what I’ll do when he retires.

from Paula in FL March 12, 2020 for Alan R. Sheff, MD

There are probably many stories I could tell about my interaction with Dr. Sheff over the past 10 years. But no matter the issue, he has always been caring, knowledgeable, professional and available. I don't want to have medical issues, but when I do it is calming to know that my interaction with Dr. Sheff will be a positive one.

from L D in VA March 11, 2020 for Alan R. Sheff, MD

Dr. Sheff is the best medical doctor anyone could have had the privilege having someone to monitor and assure they have the latest technologies and medicine for their medical condition. I have moved all over the United States in my career and have never found a Dr. Sheff. He has been my doctor for many, many years. Dr. Sheff is not only my doctor, he is my friend. He has always monitored my… See more

from Gilbert in MD March 11, 2020 for Alan R. Sheff, MD

Dr. Sheff has been great. Always available by e-mail, phone, or a same-day appointment. Has been reachable after hours or on weekends.

Special situations over the years come to mind.

2003 – when I first started with Dr. Sheff, a routine chest X-Ray as part of a physical exam came back with a suspicious situation. He called my house, I immediately gathered old X-Rays from Dr.… See more

from Norman and Ilene in MD March 10, 2020 for Alan R. Sheff, MD

Both my wife and myself have been patients of Dr Alan Sheff for at least the last 15 years. We owe him so much for keeping us healthy and active; his diagnoses and advice are always spot on.
He is “The Best of the Best!”

from Susan in MD March 10, 2020 for Alan R. Sheff, MD

It is such a relief to know that Dr. Sheff is always there. I decided to elect a concierge practice after spending hours attending doctor's appointments with my husband over a number of years that he was sick. I cannot tell you how many hours of my life (business life and personal life) I spent waiting in appointment rooms well beyond the time of the "appointment" and on the… See more
