About Connie Y. Chen, MD
As a primary care physician in internal medicine, I believe that building long-term, trusting relationships with patients is essential. This connection allows me to listen to each patient’s unique needs, guided by their medical history and personal preferences. My approach is both personalized and grounded in science and data. Whenever possible, I emphasize conservative treatments, such as nutrition and exercise, alongside medication options when needed. While I lean toward conservative care, I respect and incorporate each patient’s wishes, helping them feel that their care is individualized.
Similar to conveniences often associated with concierge medicine practices, my MDVIP-affiliated practice offers same- or next-day appointments with minimal waiting. Being in the MDVIP model gives me the tools to allow me to spend more time with you, better help you manage your chronic conditions, and focus on prevention. As the saying goes, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” By prioritizing prevention, I support patients as they pursue enjoying healthier lives and more time doing what they love.
Additionally, I am affiliated with Emerson Hospital and can refer patients to institutions such as Massachusetts General Hospital, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, and Mass Eye and Ear.
Outside of the office, my interests are reading, traveling and enjoying time with family and friends.
Here’s to living healthier!

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.
