Meet Carmelo DiSalvo, MD, FAAFP


My goals as your primary care physician are to partner with you to develop a comprehensive and personalized care plan that include both wellness care and the active management and treatment of your chronic health conditions. Together, we will better address both acute and chronic disease, effectively working towards minimizing risks, achieving goals and improving outcomes in prevention. Intrinsically, I am empathetic and genuinely interested and concerned about my patients’ needs. I believe mutual trust, transparency and respect are imperative in achieving and maintaining a healthy physician‐patient relationship.

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.

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.
