I am currently affiliated with Lankenau Medical Center, conveniently located between downtown Philadelphia and the surrounding suburbs to include Wynnewood, Bala Cynwyd and the Main Line. As a board-certified Internal Medicine physician, I have practiced within the Main Line Health System for over 15 years. I have relationships with physicians in all subspecialties and the tools necessary to help you navigate through the ever-changing healthcare system.

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.

I am quite a Senior at this point in my life which means that I have been with many physicians in many places. And I have now been with Dr.Targan for some time now. My experience with him is as good and better than any.
Dr. Targan listens carefully and examines meticulously. He is caring
physician who spends the necessary time to deal with any medical issue I have presented. His recommendations have been timely and important.
I think of him as friend and confidant as well as my physician.

Dr. Targan has been my primary care physician for 12 years. He is always attentive and available, though with his switch to MDVIP I haven’t been afraid to contact him when needed and he has been terrific. It’s like having a friend who is a doctor who you can text or call even with minor issues or concerns about family members, except you can feel less guilty about bugging him! He really gets to know his patients and is a terrific physician. It’s nice to know that I can be seen almost immediately if I need it, or can consult over the phone at a minimum.

We are very happy to have Dr. Targan as our Primary Physician! He just happened to be in the ER when I brought my husband in for a head injury and he started having convulsions in the waiting room. My husband was admitted and Dr. Targan was his attending physician. I asked for his card and rest is history! He's an awesome doctor and we more than happy with him as our doctor.

Dr. David Targan is an has been my primary physician for 10+ years, and within those years Dr. Targan has literally saved my life when my asthma was out of control sending me to ICU, Dr. Targan was there making sure I was on the right medications and ensuring me that I would be back to normal in time, and as long as I did what I was suppose to do. I recently lost my grandson which was devastating tragedy, I call Dr. Targan because I knew I had to speak to someone who was not only the BEST Physician but a caring man that definitely cares about his patients. I have several friends from police officers, PHA employees to sanitation workers that I recommend they switch their Doctor and go to Dr. Targan and there also extremely satisfied.
