My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness...
I have had the privilege of being educated and trained in both rural and urban settings in the United States and the United Kingdom. That experience has fostered my understanding and appreciation for all people and cultures. In addition, both my training and practicing the art of medicine over the last fifteen years have honed my skills and afforded me the ability to practice in a cost‐effective and evidence‐based fashion. I believe my education, expertise in family medicine and fervor for chronic disease management will benefit all my patients. My MDVIP-affiliated practice will allow us the time to sit down together, identify, review, explore and discuss treatment options, all while working towards your health needs and goals.

Testimonials from patients of Dr. DiSalvo
I had out-of-control asthma for several months. I had seen two pulmonary specialists, one local and one in DC who was with a big university hospital. Many blood tests and X-rays later neither could figure out why my asthma was so bad. My husband and I were planning to go to Costa Rica for Christmas, planning to stay at our daughter’s new house with many family members. A week before departure… See more
We have been Dr. DiSalvo’s patients for many years prior to his transition to MDVIP. We were faced with a financial decision to stay with Dr.DiSalvo once he decided to join MDVIP. After careful thought, there was really no decision to leave or stay.....we would stay with Dr. DiSalvo based on our prior relationship with him. Dr. DiSalvo is a caring physician; one who spends time with you to… See more

Dr. DiSalvo has always been there for my husband (now deceased) and me for many years. He is always willing to listen to what I want to communicate about my health feelings and/or pain. Dr. DiSalvo listened when I told him what was occurring with my husband and he would prescribe/act accordingly. Unfortunately, with time, my husband passed away from his heart failure. After the passing of my… See more
I'll be brief....the one thing that permeates Dr Disalvo's conduct is the feeling he gives that HE ACTUALLY CARES.
Dr. DiSalvo is always available when he is needed and always explains everything thoroughly; he is the best doctor and he is always appraised in our state.
Even before we joined MDVIP, we had a relationship of trust with Dr. DiSalvo. My wife, Maureen, has a bit of white coat syndrome and so it is important to the success of care that she feel comfortable with and trust a physician. And I spent a thirty year career working for Medicare. We have both been entirely satisfied with our service. In my own case, Dr. DiSalvo identified my prostate… See more
