About David W. Gehring, MD
Being a primary care physician trusted with the care of my patients is a privilege and honor that I hold sacred. I am proud to serve the residents of Alexandria, Virginia, and the surrounding communities, including Northern Virginia and D.C. I strive to forge a relationship with my patients based on empathy, deeper listening and compassion. Together, we can work to better improve physical and mental well-being.
My goal is to provide more personalized medical care in a professional, peaceful and unhurried space. Consultations take place in a private, relaxing meeting room, not in an exam room like many traditional offices. My MDVIP-affiliated practice offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medical practices. My office also offers conveniences like same- or next-day appointments with minimal wait time.
I pride myself on being a diagnostician who has more time to cover health concerns with you. I am fortunate to have a network of trusted specialists to whom I refer to assist my patients.
I seek to optimize wellness and prevention through a more personalized program focused on diet and exercise. I have a special interest in providing risk assessments and treatment recommendations for diabetes, elevated cholesterol, high blood pressure, heart disease and stroke prevention. I enjoy working with patients of all ages.

Dr G's the best!!!
David Gehring’s impact extends beyond medical competence.
This doc “humanizes” himself. He shares rather than dictates. He truly interacts and he is genuinely curious. I gather he believes it takes context (my input) in addition to all the medical data obtained from various exams and tests (blood work, EKG’s, x-rays, etc) to make it work the very best for a patient.
Dr. Gehring’s staff (Denise and Tatiana are the veteran holdovers from Dr. Temme’s* practice along with newbie Angel) are all competent, caring and well organized. Quality individuals working as a great team.
I consider myself very fortunate to be in David Gehring’s care.
A Patient And A Fan.
*I was spoiled. The legendary “docs’ doc” Dr. Joel Temme was my previous physician of 30 years and I was very skeptical that anyone would be able to replace him. Joel told me he had spent several years searching for the “right” replacement and that the right person was David Gehring. As usual, Joel got it right.

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.
