Meet Joseph DeRosa, MD


I have been a physician specializing in internal medicine and primary care for over 20 years. My approach to your care begins with creating and maintaining an environment of comfort, caring, trust and individualized service. 

When my patients are at the office, they are the focus of my attention with no interruption, delay or time constraints. The commitment to your health and wellness cannot be rushed. My smaller practice affords my staff and me the time to provide advanced screenings and tests to help identify risk factors and diagnosis and treat issues as early and effectively as possible. We also can focus on planning, prevention and comprehensive coordination of your care. My affiliation with MDVIP has helped me to achieve and improve upon these goals and principles with particular emphasis on cardiac care, bone health, respiratory care, diabetes, fitness, nutrition and more. Similar to concierge medicine practices, I also offer conveniences like same- or next-day appointments that start on time. 

Our new state-of-the-art building and facility were designed with overall patient comfort and care in mind. My two long-time nurses, Amy and Lisa, have established personal relationships with each patient, allowing for the highest level of attention and follow-up care. 

Having grown up in Westfield, New Jersey, I am an active member of this close-knit community and am proud of my family’s interest and involvement within the community as well. Located in the heart of Westfield, my personalized healthcare practice serves many surrounding areas of Union County and beyond. I am on staff at Overlook Hospital in Summit. 

In 2014, I successfully passed my third American Board of Internal Medicine exam. The completion of this rigorous exam underscores my desire as an internist to stay highly trained and abreast of the most current diagnostic and therapeutic modalities in the field of internal medicine. 

Although I maintain a small and intimate practice, I am always interested in meeting potential patients who share the same goals for their health.

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.

Dr Joe, Amy and Lisa provide a very unique experience when requiring a doctor's visit. They are extremely friendly, compassionate and professional whether going for a physical, shot or an illness visit. No one wants to go to doctor office, but they provide an atmosphere that is very efficient and welcoming when a visit is required. I am very happy with the MD VIP experience, so much so I have recommended them to family and friends to join

Dr. Joseph DeRosa has been my primary care physician for well over ten years. I liked Dr. DeRosa from my very first visit because he made me feel comfortable and he listened to my concerns. He is a very easy person to talk to about health concerns. What I like most about Dr. DeRosa, is his proactive approach to my care. He doesn't wait for a problem to happen. but instead he will look for things that may cause a problem in the future. I am never rushed through my visit and there is rarely, if ever, a wait to see him. If I am sick, he always sees me that day, there isn't a two week wait to get an appointment. I can't say enough about him being an excellent doctor.

Dr. Joe DeRosa is the epitome of what a great primary care physician should be. He & his staff are there whenever you need them. They get to know you and your family and care deeply about taking care of you. His referral network has been great to work with as well. He is old school and knows how to treat patients with amazing care & compassion. I have been a patient for over 25+ years and I cant thank them for all that they have provided for our family.

I couldn't be happier being apart of Dr DeRosa's practice. Everyone here treats me very well and truly cares about my health and well being. I value being apart of a concierge practice-the amount of time I am given at every visit, the response time when I need something, the preventative care I receive-it is truly exceptional patient care here and I wouldn't want to be anywhere else.

My wife and I have have been patients of Dr. Joseph DeRosa for five years now. He has brought a focused attention to preventative medicine and improving our health that had been seriously lacking. When we are healthy, he helps us improve. When we are ill or have concerns, he treats us with skill, care and compassion. Dr. DeRosa and his team are great!

Dr Derosa and his staff are always available. If I need to see the doctor I was get an appoint that day. Dr. Derosa never overbooks so there is room in his schedule for emergency visits.
During the pandemic he has reseached and posted finding on the virus , thus keeping his patients informed and up to date on the virus , testing, and the latest information on the vaccine.
I highly recommend Dr. Derosa.
