Dr. DiSalvo

Meet Carmelo DiSalvo, MD, FAAFP


My goals as your primary care physician are to partner with you to develop a comprehensive and personalized care plan that include both wellness care and the active management and treatment of your chronic health conditions. Together, we will better address both acute and chronic disease, effectively working towards minimizing risks, achieving goals and improving outcomes in prevention. Intrinsically, I am empathetic and genuinely interested and concerned about my patients’ needs. I believe mutual trust, transparency and respect are imperative in achieving and maintaining a healthy physician‐patient relationship.

I have had the privilege of being educated and trained in both rural and urban settings in the United States and the United Kingdom. That experience has fostered my understanding and appreciation for all people and cultures. In addition, both my training and practicing the art of medicine over the last fifteen years have honed my skills and afforded me the ability to practice in a cost‐effective and evidence‐based fashion. I believe my education, expertise in family medicine and fervor for chronic disease management will benefit all my patients. My MDVIP-affiliated practice will allow us the time to sit down together, identify, review, explore and discuss treatment options, all while working towards your health needs and goals.

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.

I have been Dr. DiSalvo's patient for 15 years and chose to stay with him when he became MDVIP affiliated. When you find a doctor who truly listens, is attentive, has a positive attitude - He's a keeper. Plus he has a great sense of humor and makes it easy to feel comfortable during appointments. The best!!!

Dr. DiSalvo is kind, caring and takes the time and effort to make certain I know and understand what we discussed and the direction our care plan will take.
He has a wonderful staff, and his nurse-Marlene is fabulous.
If you've never experienced the emotional relief of a Dr.'s practice make you feel like family then you should seek out Dr. DiSalvo for care.

Over the last several years Dr DiSalvo has treated me and guided me thru some scary crises (cardiac arrest, gastro bleed). His caring attention is exceptional coupled with his outstanding medical expertise. And he has always been responsive when we call with an emergency. When I had my cardiac arrest my wife called him when he was in New Hampshire on vacation and he returned the call immediately . My wife and I don't feel just like patients but part of the Mid Atlantic family. We love Dr DiSalvo and his dedication to the well being of his patients.

Dr. DiSalvo is a return to what medicine and a doctor should be. The time and thought he puts into your care is refreshing. He is up to date on mode of treatment and studies and includes your opinion in your care. I feel that i was very fortunate to find him as a physician who can help navigate this complex medical system we have.

I had the pleasure of meeting Carmelo DeSalvo when I was diagnosed with cancer in 2015 and two of my granddaughters were nurses at our hospital and my daughter called him and got me into his practice because he was the best. He is hands down the best doctor I have ever had. I had an infected port and he got it taken out that day. He is easy to talk to and always asks me about my family and how they are doing. I had stage 4 Non Hodgskins Lymphoma and he took care of me until I got well and still does. I am 8 years in remission and he says that cancer won't kill me; old age will. I guess that means I will be going to him for a lot more years. And my health has gotten better since he gave me the plan.

Dr. DiSalvo is an excellent, caring and extremely knowledgeable physician. He was my primary care doctor when the practice went MDVIP. I did not initially sign up for MDVIP. After several years with other physicians, I returned to Dr. DiSalvo's practice. I am very happy that I did. I highly recommend him for his skill, dedication and commitment to his patients.

In the fall of '22 I went into Dr. Disalvo's office for a routine check up.

I had just retired and was planning on going to Italy the following week. He said this won't be a problem, but he got me on the schedule to see a urologist the week I Read more...
