Because my doctor has a genuine interest in my health and welfare I had Covid twice and he called my wife regularly to see how I was and every doctors visit was very thorough and very personal to my health. I appreciate him very much.

My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness...
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.

Testimonials from patients of Dr. DiSalvo
I don't have a specific story. Rather what makes Dr. DiSalvo so special in my view is: 1. He is always there and very accessible. 2. He gives me all the time I need, and often more, on every visit. Further, he listens, cares about who I am and how my life in general is going, not just about the specific thing I am seeing him about on any given appointment. 3. I have full confidence in his… See more
Carmelo DiSalvo at Mid Atlantic Family Practice in Lewes, Delaware, is the best Primary Care Doctor I’ve ever had! Very, very smart and is a great communicator. Personally follows up at all hours. Always gives me enough time for my issues. Just as important, I consider him a friend !
I can’t say enough about Dr. Disalvo. He is very competent and smart, as well as compassionate. When my husband had a stroke and was in the neuro ICU, he called me to find out how Bill and I both were doing, even though he wasn’t treating him. This meant everything to me. He even offered me words of encouragement and told me not to lose faith. I would recommend Dr. Disalvo to anyone who’s… See more
I had an appointment for a regular check up. Doc was asking several questions about general health etc and had anything changed since my last visit. I said my sister had passed away a few weeks ago. He stopped talking and immediately stood up and gave me a hug and expressed his sympathies. I felt not only was he my doctor but also my friend.
My husband and I had a bad 2023.

My doctor is Carmello DiSalvo. I’m so blessed to have him as my primary care physician. He’s patient, compassionate and very thorough. He’s available whenever I need answers to health problems. I was very sick with Covid a couple of years ago and he was so helpful in my recovery. He checked on me almost every day. I can’t put into words how much that meant to me. He’s a very caring doctor!!… See more
I was referred to Dr DiSalvo by a friend. I have experienced firsthand his extraordinary knowledge and care. He did a thorough review of my health situation, and offered important considerations.
One morning I awoke with pain and ultimately found I had a small kidney stone. Dr DiSalvo promptly responded on a weekend and employed a care action plan including follow up tests.… See more
Dr. Carmelo DiSalvo is the best Doctor I have ever had. (I am 71 years old). i always feel better about myself and my health when I leave him. He listens, doesn't judge and offers usable advice. What an amazing experience to have when visiting your Doctor. He is a very caring Doctor and very caring man. I am very fortunate to have him as my Doctor,
I have struggled with my weight my whole life. I have done diet after diet only to fail while my weight continued to increase. Dr. Carmelo DiSalvo spent time with me. He taught me how to eat. He explained over and over again with the patience of a saint! He never made me feel badly or spoke condescendingly. He was always incredible supportive. I am now more than halfway to my original… See more
