About Benjamin Lichtenfels, DO

I believe the foundation of personalized medical care is a strong physician-patient relationship. My goal is to provide individualized care so patients feel heard and supported at every stage of life.

I was born and raised in Rhode Island and am proud to care for patients in the community I call home. Throughout my career, I have focused on helping patients as they pursue preventing disease, addressing their chronic conditions and making strides toward long-term health and independence. I value taking the time to listen to each patient, not just their medical history, but also their lifestyle, goals and concerns. I believe medicine works best when care is individualized.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, I had the opportunity to serve patients at the Rhode Island COVID-19 Field Hospital, an experience that reinforced the importance of compassion, communication and adaptability.

As an MDVIP-affiliated physician, I am excited to offer a more personalized approach to medicine, with a greater focus on prevention, unhurried visits and being available to you after hours. This allows me to focus on what drew me to medicine in the first place: building meaningful relationships with patients and delivering attentive, proactive care.

I look forward to partnering with my patients to help them as they work to live healthier, fuller lives.

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.
