About Benjamin H. Greiner, DO, MPH
I believe that healing begins with a genuine connection between doctor and patient. This is my deep-seated belief at the heart of my personalized primary care practice: a connection that can go beyond the clinical and touches the human spirit.
As a board-certified internal medicine physician and officer in the Army National Guard, I've seen firsthand how resilience and proactive care can transform lives. My own journey has been shaped by a passion for forming stronger, trusting relationships with my patients, drawing on my experience delivering personalized primary care that can help patients work to manage medical conditions, whether simple or complex, with compassion empathy.
I approach medicine holistically, recognizing that health isn't only about helping address symptoms. I feel it's about nurturing the whole person: body, mind and spirit. By coaching patients to integrate evidence-based lifestyle changes, nutritional guidance, stress management techniques, and complementary therapies alongside traditional medical interventions, I aim to help patients unlock their innate potential for wellness.
What sets my practice apart is the time I have to dedicate to each individual. I offer unhurried appointments - often 30 minutes or more - so we can dive deeply into your concerns. This can allow us to explore your unique story and possible root causes, as well as work together to craft personalized plans that can fit your life.
I am reachable via phone and text after hours. I offer secure messaging and same-day or next-day appointments for more urgent needs. I also offer tele-health services, too, as I know illness can strike when you’re on vacation or a business trip. Additionally, my MDVIP-affiliated practice offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices.
I aim for honest, open communication to be the foundation of everything I do. I'm passionate about building lifelong bonds through education and motivational coaching, helping you feel empowered to take the reins on your health. My mission is simple: to deliver individualized care with the trust and compassion I'd want for my own family. Every patient is seen as a unique individual, deserving of tailored attention and a commitment to supporting their well-being.
I believe my job is to educate you about the evidence, so we can develop a roadmap, and you can run the plays. You bring your life; I bring my stethoscope, my research, my phone at 2 a.m., and a fierce sense of protectiveness that I’d give my own parents.
If that sounds like the kind of doctor-patient relationship you’ve been craving, let’s start the conversation today. A brighter, stronger tomorrow is waiting.

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.
