About Catherine J. Schiano, DO
I have been a family physician for over 30 years in the East Brunswick, NJ, community and have forged relationships with many specialists to help my patients with their unique healthcare needs, when warranted. I have a strong interest in developmental disabilities, preventive medicine, diabetes and women’s health issues. I want to be your healthcare partner, supporting you as you pursue a happier and healthier future.
I made a life-changing decision when I altered my style of medical practice to one that stresses personalized healthcare, wellness and prevention. I partner with my patients to create individualized, patient-centered healthcare. I can discuss existing problems and support patients as they work toward preventing new ones. I work with my patients every step of the way to help them as they pursue their wellness 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.
