About Christopher A. Lucas, DO
I have been practicing internal medicine in Paoli, Pennsylvania, since 2005, caring for patients from the Main Line and surrounding communities, including Paoli, Malvern, West Chester, and throughout Chester, Delaware and Montgomery counties. My goal is simple: to provide more personalized care for every patient, treating you as I would my own family.
I believe in taking more time to listen, explain medical conditions in plain language and work side-by-side with you so you can make more informed decisions about your health.
As a board certified internal medicine physician and MDVIP-affiliated doctor, I can help you manage a wide range of conditions, including diabetes, hypertension (high blood pressure), coronary artery disease and other heart conditions, chronic kidney disease, obesity and metabolic disorders, asthma and other respiratory conditions.
In today’s complex healthcare environment, I pride myself on having more time to help patients navigate the maze of modern medicine. This includes speaking with and trying to help schedule appointments with specialists, reviewing test results (whether ordered by me or another doctor) and helping to ensure your care with me is personalized.
As a family physician with diverse interests, I strive to connect medical knowledge with everyday language to help you understand a diagnosis, options to address concerns, and the wellness plan we develop together based on the results of the annual MDVIP Wellness Program.
My mission is to help you feel empowered to take an active role in your health, supported by a physician who knows you, your history and your 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.
