My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness...

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.

I had out-of-control asthma for several months. I had seen two pulmonary specialists, one local and one in DC who was with a big university hospital. Many blood tests and X-rays later neither could figure out why my asthma was so bad.

from Doris in DE February 12, 2024 for Carmelo DiSalvo, MD, FAAFP

Dr. DiSalvo has always been there for my husband (now deceased) and me for many years. He is always willing to listen to what I want to communicate about my health feelings and/or pain. Dr. DiSalvo listened when I told him what was occurring with my husband and he would prescribe/act accordingly. Unfortunately, with time, my husband passed away from his heart failure.

from Thomas and Maureen in DE February 12, 2024 for Carmelo DiSalvo, MD, FAAFP
