About Briana Newkirk, MD
My greatest joy as a physician is getting to know my patients as people and providing personalized care. I enjoy learning about their families, their values, what they enjoy doing and what matters most to them. I have learned from my patients that the relationship between a patient and doctor is bi-directional and is one that grows, changes and adapts to the needs of the patient in the season of life that they may be in. I believe I am a strong listener and value hearing my patients throughout my time as their primary care physician. Practicing primary care for me really means growing with my patients and helping them navigate their unique health journey.
My medical interests include treating diabetes, hypertension, preventative medicine, women' s health, LGBTQ health and supporting mental health. My MDVIP-affiliated practice, often compared to a concierge medicine practice, offers conveniences like same- or next-day appointments with minimal waiting.
My primary care practice is in Chevy Chase, Maryland. I serve patients who reside in DC, Maryland and Virginia. We are conveniently located near the Metro train rail and parking is available on site. I received an award in the military health system in 2024 for patient satisfaction. I look forward to providing tailored and personalized care.

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.
