Meet Francis X. Brescia Jr., DO, FACOFP


My goal as your private doctor is to partner with you to create a personalized healthcare plan to effectively treat your current health problems and prevent new ones. In my MDVIP-affiliated practice, you will be treated as members of my family. My patients will benefit from my osteopathic education, expertise and years of experience in clinical medicine. 

My primary care practice will continue to serve the Middle Paxton Township, as it has for over 37 years. As an MDVIP-affiliated physician, my goal is to provide you with highly personalized healthcare while focusing on prevention and wellness. Similar to conveniences often associated with concierge medicine practices, I also offer same- or next-day appointments that start on time. I will also continue in my role as the Chief Medical Officer, treating our students in the Central Dauphin School District. I will remain on active staff with Pinnacle Heath Systems (Community Osteopathic Hospital, Harrisburg Hospital and West Shore Hospital).

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.

Hometown health care which you don’t find much anymore!!! Around his office, technology is making it’s way into the 21st century....but thank God his hometown touch has remained the same....yes, he has implemented a new program, but that good ole’ hometown attitude has remained the same. He genuinely cares about his patients and will tell you the way it is, which he should. The day he announces his retirement will be a very, very...VERY sad day, although he deserves it and says he has no plans of going anywhere soon lol.....his staff is awesome, caring and they LISTEN....I’ve been a patient for almost 36 years and can’t imagine seeing another doctor. His staff has invited me to have lunch with them on many occasions because my appointments are usually made before their lunch time. I mean..who does THAT?

Only see doctor maybe 6 times per year, your price seems awfully expensive for that, even increased this year.

Dr Brescia has been my Dr for a very long time. His bedside manner is always very professional. He truly cares about the wellness of all his patients and their family members. His staff is exceptional and go above and beyond. They are all like family to me and am very grateful to all of them for taking such great care of us. Dr Brescia and his staff are always very quick to lighten the stress of being sick or in need of medical care. I cant thank them enough for everything they do for my husband and myself.

I'm looking for a PCP. I was told I would have to pay $1,600 a year to be a patient of Doctor Brescia.
I'm familiar with co-pays, but a membership fee????

I'm sure he's a good doctor, but the receptionist was a bit on the cold 🥶 side.

from Sandra in PA • February 11, 2024
I have been a patient of Dr. Brescia for about 29 years and can't imagine going to another doctor as my primary care provider. He and his staff are the best I have seen. Most of the specialist I have seen their first question is do you have insurance and then you wait a couple months for and appointment. Even before MDVIP this is not the case with Doc Brescia. He treats his patients like Read more...

Breakthrough

from A in PA • January 18, 2024
Our daughter was in her freshman year of college and struggling to adapt. Her pediatrician prescribed Antidepressants and it sent her into a downward Spiral.

She has done a complete 180 and is thriving now all because he recognized something wasn’t right, showed compassion and fixed another physician’s misdiagnosis. Thank you for Read more...
