Meet Christopher W. Ley, MD


I believe in treating my patients with the quality care and compassion they deserve.
After practicing general internal medicine for 24 years, my beliefs, my ethics and my reasons for choosing medicine as a profession remain constant. I am able to take sufficient time to develop and maintain the personal and professional relationships which are critical to providing quality care. I enjoy being able to spend time listening to, studying and discussing each patient's unique issues in order to provide proactive care and assess the multitude of medical issues in a thorough and prompt manner. I find great satisfaction and reward in helping guide my patients through the increasingly impersonal and worrisome world of healthcare. I look forward to coming to work each day to do what I love - spending time with my patients and providing them with the personalized care and compassion they deserve.

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.

Medical advice across the country

from Linda in RI • January 28, 2024
There are many times that my husband and I are grateful for Dr. Ley but one scenario really stands out to me. We were traveling West for a family wedding, John had a nasty fall just a few days before which required several sutures on his lower leg, we made the best of it even though he was uncomfortable and the wound got infected. He started on an antibiotic the evening before we were scheduled Read more...

Reliability - can this be a title?

from Onesimo in RI • January 19, 2024
My story is simple. I was a patient of Dr. Christopher Ley before he joined MDVIP. I did not want to change doctors. He was reliable, someone I trusted. So, I stayed with him. He continued to be so, and the best I can add is that when my wife's doctor retired, I convinced her to become his patient. She had female doctors all her life and was reticent at first. Now, we are both his patients. Read more...
